RE: Splinterlands is awful.

Thanks for reading both posts first! I, too, had stopped playing for a couple of years, and came back a year ago, just when the shift was happening. I'm now very happy with the new direction that the team is taking, that they seem to have learned from their mistakes and are trying to not repeat them. That will go a long way.

About the forcing part - correct, but some players are disheartened to see the value of their cards and assets having dropped so much. Which I can understand, it must not feel good. It's also why I always encourage people to see it as a game, and only a game, not an investment. That would take the fun away, at least for me.

I'm glad I didn't sell my few assets. Now it's really more fun than before :-)
