The new changes have damaged the game. I gave them a chance before quitting though. I am not fussed about reward distribution. I have however given up on playing because the system is heavily stacked with bots to the point that most of my matches are bot opponents. The system is now stacked against new players and according to the stats there has been a drop in account activity, new users won't stick a pay to win model thus you guys will be plagued with user retention issues going forward. Partnerships are nothing to get excited about when your product continues to decline in quality and entertainment value. Again and I can't state this strongly enough, I don't care about monetary reward. I'm like the vast swath of gamer's out there who game for fun. A game where the new user is penalised by a system that favours bots, and high dollar players isn't going to retain players or make on boarding and keeping them a reality imo. I know the following will disagree with me here, but you guys need to focus on new players and keeping them. Real players, not bots to boost up transaction numbers. Atm there is very little top keep a player playing unless he or she is to invested to back out, or it's a bot. The game becomes stale fast imo. However I do believe you guys will ride well off of the hype around the various partnerships and some will see a peak in value on their nft's because of this. I also think SL will fair well in a bull market, before it dies down like so many other blockchain games have. I do genuinely hope I'm wrong and you guys do well. I also hope the big players don't lose their shirts later. A lot of my friends still game on SL and I don't want to see them fail. So I hope your changes and partnerships make the unbelievable happen...which is a successful dapp based strictly on high dollar investors and bots with low new users and poor user retention which isn't fun to play anymore after three matches. Best of luck @splinterlands.
