Most of the accounts are mining accounts. Let's call it what it is, mining.
What does it say about the game when there are 3 different services to enable participants to automate gameplay and mining operations make up much of the players and renters? It is such a good game that nobody wants to play it.
A reality is that the game play is such a part of Splinterlands and with the changes to come, game play is going to be de-emphasized further. This is transforming into a strategy/diplomacy/business sort of a game/experiment. Can't automate that. You have to be active with the community or else you fall behind and miss out.
