Splinterlands Will Never Get Popular

Some players are better than others, regardless of cards. They understand how the game works, and they will always win.

The daily reward for playing casual is practically nothing. The biggest reward goes to 'season winners' A bunch of packs for the top spots. And tournaments. It's split into leagues, which is a total farce and abused by players with multiple accounts and more. You'll read.

Players have found they can play multiple accounts and win all the top spots. They can monopolize the prizes. It's like a Grandmaster in chess playing 10 boards and a novice tournament and claiming all 10 prizes. Then they go to the clubhouse and brag about it (discord) and call everyone else a noob. They are all in discord and that is the niche. They have embraced the idea of multi-account and they LOVE it. You will get banned for speaking up against it. There is no shame here.

Splinterlands will always be a tiny bunch of early players that got WAY ahead, invested a bunch, and expect new people to spend big $$ to make multiple accounts so they can compete. Sorry, that idea is doomed. Regular gamers are leaving because it's ruined and you are asserting it's perfectly fine to multi-account among yourselves. You are really alone, living in a bubble. Gamers don't like that. You are delusional - and out in the open - proud about it.

Splinterlands allows this, perhaps they have no easy way to stop it...They can't figure out how to de-incentivize multiple accounts.

I know HOW - but everyone argues against it! Attack me and tell me IM the multi-accounter! By 'everyone' I mean the discord regulars, the same trolls that are PROFITING off multiple accounts and lying to noobs telling them they have 'low level leauges' to play - whist the same folks are playing against them with multiple aliases! The top players are playing in the low leagues too!

First, though, the company doesn't allow players to create the tourament they want. You can't simply take your list of known multi-accounters and ban them. You can't simply ban who you want. Why not? If a player is going to afford the tournament, why can't he ban people with 300,000 power in his deck? Why can't he ban someone that has EVER reached 2,500+? Let the players make the tournament who they want or don't want! No one will want to make a tournament and get stomped by the same ppl that are playing multiple accounts on champion level decks over and over, regardless if it's a bronze limit or not. People want control over WHO (or who doesn't) gets to play in their tournaments. Splinterland tournaments are BROKEN and they are forcing us to accept the same conditions. The leagues are a farce! It doesn't restrict players by skill at all. Everyone with any mind can see this.

'passwords' are not a solution. We want everyone that meets OUR conditions enter. The multi account/constant winners will just get ahold of the password if we tell a bunch of players anyways. You need strict filters and a rating filter to keep advanced players TOTALLY out, where the lower level players want them OUT! Splinterlands is not giving the players what they want! They are letting -ANYONE- join their tourament regardless of skill. Splinterlands only restricts the VALUE of cards you can enter. Such usless.

Perhaps getting ahead but to the point, tournaments are the key to this game success in long term. Player created touraments. You need all kinds of filters and fix the ranking system. You need to let people have ban list so the same ppl don't keep winning their touraments! IF players want to ban one person for one reason or another from THEIR tournament, they should be allowed to! Just because SPLINTERLANDs likes multi-accounters winning every single thing, maybe most everyone doesnt! Only you and your discord pets like it. The pets you let call everyone else noob and will just ban for saying what I am saying here - you're messed up!

See? The 'top players' want to insist the game is based on skill. But it's perfectly fine for them to play their 'low level decks' against new folks whist they insist the game is helping new players more than them = LOL! They are proudly doing it on MULTIPLE accounts and complaining about the 'low levels' get too much reward! WHy do you think that? Why would they do that? Here's why: They have HIGH-Level decks too - they want to see their HIGH-level decks get more rewards! They're doing the trick. Complaining their rewards are too low compared to the low level. They want to destroy the low level by wrecking them, making all the players quit then complain those rewards are high in relation so the company will boost the high-level reward LOL.

Seriously it is all they say in discord "the new players get the best rewards", whist they are using their high-level decks and multiple accounts to win them all! They don't care about the low rewards - they complain to get higher high-rank rewards!

New players don't want players with 300,000 power collections in their tournaments. They don't care if top players' cards are 'nerfed down' to 'only' the best possible. But regardless, the problem is the RATING. Everything revolves around this and the whole game could be fixed by fixing the way rating + reward works.

I can write a lot but I am going to wrap this up quick with my MAIN point. The rating system is broken + effectively unused. Fix rating and make it conditions of touraments. Once you hit a rating you are locked in, certain points. Yes, your daily reward base whole on a rating. Once you win a tournament you get some rating points etc. Let EVERY game including tournament change rating. Then let it LOCK at levels, like every 500 points. It's so simple. Why shouldn't touraments increase rating too? Ppl will just make multi account for one deck and farm one level of tourament. This will get WORSE. If they are always winning on tournament they will get pushed up.

There is more you need to do too, to stop people from making mutli, or sitting at one level. There are ways to do it! Look fix the rating and make a condition for touarments and get that figured out first you will be on the right path.

Like I could go on in depth about how to fix. Mostly though this is telling you that the game is wrong. It will never work like this. Very unappealing. You are digusing the fact that only top players always win. People see through it.

If you want only the top 1% of players to win all the games with their multi-account, fine. That's what you got. That's what you got right now. Otherwise, you need to find a way to separate people. By creating the rating, they can 'hang low rating' but they will ONLY ever enter small tourament and they will ONLY EVER get small prize from daily. Don't let those top players play in lower tourament.

Yea they will try to make more accounts so they have accounts for every level but you need to figure out how to fix that. You have ruined the game idea by accepting this and not proactivelly taking steps to stop it. I don't mean ban them! I mean legit decentivise it. Make it DISHORNABLE at least! But no, in discord it's the 'cool thing' to smash low level ratings with multiple accounts and take all their prizes. How are you going to stop it? Players won't stick around when they know the 'top 1% of players' are farming every bronze - silver - gold - diamond ladder - the same people! You have a big problem if you stick to that idea. Will fall flat on face.
