Splinterlands Soul bound cards and Grind

**MY OPINION HERE **

So i recently heard that @splinterlands are looking to introduce soul bound reward cards. Soul bound means that they are assets that cannot be sold or traded and have no monetary value. I have a mixed opinion on this, they are trying to combat the bot farming situation. Which i am pleased they are trying to address it. So i can see why they may introduce sould bound cards them on this front. As a bronze player end of season rewards can be mixed. Which id imagine is the same for higher leagues also. I hope that the soul bound rewards will be for all players across the board and not just players who are in the lower leagues. Some seasons can be a grind and i would like to see players still enjoying there end of season rewards and not to be put off because of this potential new reward system. This could potentially cause a decline in player activity which splinterlands don't want.

On a Positive note i can see an increase in Rentals as with Soul bound cards you may be penalised for using them in Battle. So players will look to rent instead. Also players will turn to the market to purchase cards this is where we can see an increase in demand. Potentially driving up card prices. For investors Soul bound rewards could be a good thing. As we will be seeing less printed cards and less reward cards.

For now im not worrying about this i am concentrating on my season. If you read my last post i started off in Bronze 3. I have made my way to Bronze 2 which i am happy about. I haven't achieved any chests so far this season. I think they will start to come in the next couple of days as my rating goes up.

I hope your having a great season drop me a comment let me know how its going.

Thats all folks Happy Gaming
