I don't think I could say it better than @blockchainboyroy. His thoughts accurately reflect mine and what I perceive to be the current state of the game. It seems amazingly easy to max chests in bronze. I think bot farms will figure out how to make that work for them and we'll see rentals return (or even increase). I hope it doesn't get out of hand, but only time will tell. Splinterlands is an amazingly complex market. One of the things that attracted me to the game along with the gameplay.
