Why Are Active Users Declining While Earnings Increase Significantly In Splinterlands?

avatar

With the change to the reward system in Splinterlands, there has been an increase in the earnings of the players in general. Also, rank battles became more important. To earn more rewards, it is necessary to focus on battles and win more battles. If you are an active player in the game, you can make more profit than ever this season. But if you are not an active player, your earnings may decrease significantly. In short, if you want to make more profit, you need to be active in more Splinterlands than before.

Frankly, I expected this to significantly increase the number of active players in Splinterlands. That's why I took a look at Splinterlands' statistics on dappradar. I don't know how accurate this data is, but I was quite surprised by the data.

There is an incredible decrease in the number of active users. Maybe the data here is wrong, but if the data is correct, it seems clear that something is wrong. I don't understand why users are not focusing on the game while there are significant increases in rewards and earnings increase significantly.

When we examine the graph on a monthly basis, the volume seems high according to the statistics of the last season, despite the decrease in the active players. Considering the low number of active users, it seems that active users are making good profits.

Honestly, I thought that the active players would increase more due to the increase in the earnings in the game, but apparently that is not the case. I don't understand why so many players miss this opportunity.

Frankly, I think it's a great time to sign up for Splinterlands and earn more rewards. I think there's a great opportunity for players who are just getting started with the game and I think it's a great time. Also, the lack of active players has brought down the card rental prices, which is a great opportunity for beginners and those who do not have enough cards. I think if you want to start the game and you haven't started yet, I think you should not miss this opportunity.

Frankly, I would like to say again that I am very surprised that the number of active users has decreased significantly. When we examine the market, many players want to rent the cards they own instead of playing, which has brought the card rental prices down incredibly. I also rent cards every season. Now I can rent a card for almost 5 times cheaper. This is truly an incredible drop.

I guess some players may not have understood the new reward system. Or they may not have time to be more active in the game. Frankly, I do not understand those who miss such an opportunity.

Honestly, I want to ask the question why are players refusing this opportunity when they have a chance to make more profits in the new reward system? And what do you think of the data or could the data be wrong?

It just takes more time than I have to give it, to get to a point where rewards are relevant.

I don't buy as many packs as I did last time, because I don't want to gather a bunch of tokens and potions and the rental prices are down.

Over time as Splinterlands attracts die hard players, things will likely turn around, but the occasional hobby players are likely feeling Meh.

Yes you are right, I agree with you. With the new reward system, it is necessary to spend more time.

It is difficult to get chest rewards for those who are in the higher leagues, but the probability of getting big prizes from the chests is very high. But in any case, it is necessary to be more active in the game.

For the record, I have no issue with them rewarding those who play a lot! I get it.

I just hope they are still able to attract and keep new players.

I'm always cheering for Splinterlands.

I absolutely agree with you. I am aware of your support for Splinterlands.

I said paragraph 2 in general, not against you. I hope it was not misunderstood.

Its clearly the bot farms which do not work anymore in this setup.
If you have enough CP to stuff several accounts its fine.

But some "players" had more than 10k bot accounts woth only starter cards. They cannot play anymore.

This may change in the future again, when the player base adapts to the changes.

I am thinking it could be the bots as well, we might have them come back after studying the new system but for now may the human players have fun.

Are people really having fun LOL

Why can't I have fun? :) I looted 2 chests in 3 days LOL

I figured out the new reward system a little late, but that's okay, I'll focus on the next rewards.

Yes, that's right, it has become difficult for bot accounts to make a profit right now. But there are still very powerful bot accounts. I don't know if these bot accounts belong to people or to the system. Do you think Splinterlands has bots of its own?

No I do not think so. And a bot is not the problem. Big farms without buying cards have been a problem for the economy and these are now not rewarding anymore.

I use two accounts myself, which are supported from bots, when I have no time for playing. But this is completly different from having several thousend accounts for one person.

Understood. I've never used a bot account in Splinterlands, I don't know how they work, but I was quite surprised that some bots were coded very well.

If you ever want to check one out go for archmage.app. Its a good one from good people.
But there are lots of free ones around. Archmage costs a few $ to get a licence and later on will take parts of the earned DEC, but currently its only the setup cost of around 10 to 15 $ or so.

I am seeing some players in lower leagues happy about their rewards which wasn't the case some seasons ago, I think after a season or two we will see how everyone adjusts to the new system.

Yes, the accounts in the lower leagues are very lucky, they adapted to the new system very quickly. I also had 2 accounts, I'm happy with them, they get good rewards. But I'm not happy at all with my main account :) I was able to get 2 chests in 3 days hahahah!

The first day was brutal and left a bad test (for me at least, and seems the same for many).

This is also a new system many do not understand it yet, cautious approach is warranted.

Lastly, maybe this update got rid of a lot of bots (for now)?

Yes, I had a lot of difficulties in the first two days and I just started to understand the reward system. I think it will be better in the future but I hope we are getting rid of the bots.

That's good only the active players are more interested. So it means there's less bots. It's only fair because we spend all the money !

If it's as you say, that's a good thing. The decrease of bots and leaving the game will be quite good for active players.

Yes, this can happen. Frankly, when I examine the statistics, they are very close to the statistics of last summer.

I think it will depend and I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who were relying on the starter cards and didn't want to invest anything. It will require some investment to get to the point where you will get decent rewards. I have also been seeing quite a few fights where the opponent earns zero DEC for their fights when they beat me so some of them might be going offline.

This is so interesting. If the player is not earning DEC then he is not winning much in FP. am I wrong? Then there is no advantage to play.

He can win fights but the points required to get the chest is just too big. So winning a chest or two requires a lot of points in the league when they get reset.

Yes, you're right, unfortunately this happened to me. Next season I will have a different strategy.
