#Greetings friends!
I purchased splinterlands (former steemmonsters) starter packs much before the actual game started. I was one of the purchasers who purchased those packs and trusted that splinterlands will someday become a big game changer on steem (now hive).
When the game started, it was a big success. Rewards were excellent and gameplay was full of enjoyment as well. Once, the value of my splinterlands cards were more than $35000 which is just $550 now.
The things started changing since last two to three years. Splinterlands' management became greedy and directionless. They started cheating by allowing bots and their own accounts to win matches easily despite opponent having more favorable chances of winning.
That was the one thing. other thing they did was to change the reward system. Once chances of getting rewards decreases. Then they introduced soulbound reward cards which cannot be traded, transferred and thus has no monetary value. In this way they also decreased the value of old cards (alpha, beta, etc.) in the battles. Why would someone spend huge money on buying expensive alpha, beta etc. cards when he can have better soulbound cards that are full of powers? So, in this way they made their own cards devoid of values. That's why the investors are on great losses while the company made huge profits from selling their cards packs in the past.
Their shameless behavior doesn't stop here. Now they have devised a new idea. For playing wild format, you will have to buy vouchers. If someone had purchased the started wild packs, why should he or she buy vouchers to play with those cards? Is this not a organised loot? They are forcing the players to buy shit tokens to play the game for which they had purchased the card packs and there was no restriction in playing with them in the past. They are changing rules as if they are changing clothes. This is shameful and every game player should condemn it.
Thank you, if you could understand my points.
