Quitting as an Option

avatar

splinterlands (1).jpeg

I feel stuck on Splinterlands, yep, I said it, I feel so stuck and bored that I want to sell my cards and quit the game. Let me tell you why.

Before this entire collection power thing began, I will battle day and night to reach the highest level possible, sometimes I ended the season at Gold level 1, other times Diamond and few times at Champion. I don't have the best of cards, time and skill have always been my greatest ally.

However, since the implementation of the collection power, the max level I can reach is Gold tier 2, of which most times I only end up at Gold 3 or silver 1 due to those bots. The backlash to this is that I get only 18 to 22(on very good seasons) loot chests at the end of every season, also, the amount of DEC I win per game is very low.

So if I compare the benefits of playing to the time and energy spent playing, is it really worth it? Truth is I like gaming, even when I get nothing out if it, but my go to type of games are First person shooter adventure games. Splinterlands is my first experience in a Tradeable card game world, on a blockchain for that matter and honestly I love it.

Under normal circumstances, I should build my deck, that is, level up my summoners and monsters but hey!they come at a high cost and unfortunately I'm a broke ass(as my ex always called me), so I get caught up convincing myself to level up my cards slowly or buy packs.

Well, the thing is levelling up my cards slowly can take a very long time, of which these cards are likely to phase out with new ones replacing them, so I think it just makes sense to do that timely.............

........Buying packs seem to make sense, in that I might get lucky and open a very expensive legendary gold foil, but its a gamble, such luck only comes once in a blue moon. So I end up doing none.

Then why not just rent out my cards and earn passively from that?

Well, I need my cards to play and participate in the weekly blogging challenges as the upvotes I get from blogging go a long way in building my Hive account and doing that is super important to me because eventually when Hive price increases more than it presently is, say 2$, I will be positioned to make enough to divest into the game and properly build my deck.

Ultimately, all I see now is only but a warm up. So while I may feel stuck or bored about my present level, I understand that it will only be for a while, I know where I belong and I'll get there eventually. So will I sell my cards and quit the game? Hell no, what do I tell my kids was the reason for quitting the best TCG on a blockchain in the world?

So in the mean time, I will keep raining hell on the players in the level I'm at, while I keep participating in the weekly blogging challenges to grow my account, perhaps it might have been a dead end had that not been possible, so kudos to Splinterlands on that one. The plan is a long game. Quitting is not an option.

Thanks for reading...

Yeah I'm really not interested in paying a bunch for a bunch of cards that don't even exist and putting a massive amount of time into a game online...

However that entire idea of leasing out your deck and getting residual income actually does sound like a worthwhile investment that could potentially offset your spending...

The more I stash and throw out for rewards the more I can grow and now I'm working on margin trading and growing my own amount of Hive here on the internal market is actually going very well.

Lol well, they exist on the chain.

Yes this is most likely the eventual goal, I'll probably never even have to sell my cards,...just constant passive stuff.

Margin trading! Mahnnn I need to learn that thing,also need to learn futures....

By all means put a card down in front of me or for that matter put down your deck. Yep that's right put it down on the table.

Because it exists online does not mean that it is real.

Holding something digitally isn't the same as holding something physically in your hand.

I can have a virtual reality copy of an Angus trim longsword in my hand....

However you cannot use that to train in the physical world. You might be able to use it to train in the virtual world when they get the technology going.

But yes made up cards that don't exist are not real...

It's totally cool idea but there are some practical drawbacks

Hey buddy, do not be so sad.

What you feel now is what I had seen it would be like before Collection-power-era started. And I was writing about the negative aspects that we have been seeing in the era, hoping that Splinterlands will not do it. I stopped blogging because of negative work of Splinterlands. And now I am returning because of you.

Now if you want to, you could do like I am doing. Save your emotions for real life and turn them far away from Splinterlands. I worked myself to be in Bronze leagues where I am making same amount DEC daily as I did in pre-Collection-power-era, and winning some nice booster pack rewards at the end of season. All is well for me this way.

Cheers!

Hi dexy, nice to see you....

Yep I remember very well when you wrote about that and kept going back and forth arguing with other high ranked players. Lol its obvious now isn't it.

Anyway, "battle till you drop" has always been the mantra. This is not the end lol,...

Thanks I appreciate

There are choices we need to make. If you quit the game, you are not a quitter but a better value assessor. You analysed the cost and benefits and pulled a conclusion. You might check some posts in here which can help you on what to do next, no matter the choice.

Or play at a lower level or have another strategy in mind. I'm developing now anew approach for my splinterlands trip!

It definitely takes time, but I'm glad to hear you're gonna keep at it, I started with a single booster and just slowly built up since then. Plus the new gameplay with lands and guild wars should be pretty exciting, hopefully inject a new energy for you.
