Back to Leasing Out Cards

(Edited)

For the last few months I played Splinterlands

But I am making the decision to go back to leasing out my cards again. It's a fairly straightforward decision since I the rewards are extremely low right now. This is especially so, since it also takes a lot of time to get these rewards. Sure, I enjoy the game to a degree, but getting at least 5 or so chests in the daily focus feels more of a grind right now. It also takes at least a half an hour to get them which does add up quickly.

One "problem" of course is that the cards are now soulbound. Although I supported this decision in the past to combat bots, it is also clear that they have no financial value until we can sell them next year. But this will also come at a cost by unlocking them and paying DEC to do so. We also get the potions that only have value when opening cards. Then there are merits which we can use to buy Gladiator packs. SPS is a direct reward, but it is currently struggling at best. The high inflation is causing the price to keep sinking and there is hardly any hope for a reversal anytime soon. Finally, there are the CL packs which one can sell currently for about $2.5 or open them.

These are the rewards from the gold league and when one adds them up or rather averages them, I think the value for one chest is barely 10 cents. We don't know how much the rewards cards can be sold for in the future, but it probably won't be too high unless the game gets a big new inflow of players.

Leasing out my cards gives me about $1.5 a day which isn't amazing, but I have to invest 0 time. It is almost that latter part that has motivated to rent out my cards. There are probably many who just play the game for fun, but Splinterlands isn't really that exciting or fun to play... If it were more like a 5-10 min investment a day for the same rewards (or an x increase in rewards) the motivation would be a lot higher.

Anyway, I guess the majority of the Splitnerlands community is pretty frustrated right now with the asset prices continuing to fall and fall. The team has made a lot of good decisions recently, but it is clear that their biggest mistake was/is inflation. There is just too much of everything and even with LAND the inflow of new stuff will not dwindle down (SPS inflation, new cards etc.)

Probably best to take a sleeping pill and wake up in 1-2 years and hope that Splinterlands is still around!

Wait wait,... Card dropped by playing the game are now soulbound? How does that work with leasing them out? Can you even lease them out?

Yes for about a year. Then you will have to spend Dec to unlock them

A very nice in-game option is that we can also rent out the cards that are available for other people to play with.
