I think the entire rental market is just an issue these days, I used to rent out my cards in the past, but it is just to much trouble these days, thus I just leave it. In the past, I could just put my cards out for rent and leave it, and adjust the price now and then, now it is constant work.
The point of play2earn is also out of the window, with soulbound cards, where it cost more to unbound cards, than what you can earn with them. Further on wild card value just dropped with this thing that one needs to pay to play and then you are rewarded with cards that you can't cell if you wish to do it. My total account value just dropped, and my earnings also just dropped. The experience is just not the same any more. I think new players, just have an uphill battle. I am disgruntled and I am playing for a very long time!! Every now and then I am just thinking to call it a day.
