Lol that's the thing though! I started the game and I WANTED to put money into it to get a decent launchpad, but I didn't! After not finding any packs, reading up on the newest set, I put my wallet away. It just doesn't make sense for a new player like me to buy in this late in the game. I like your idea of allocating a minimum number of packs to new players, that would very much encourage new players AND new money. But what they have going on right now just doesn't. I enjoy the game so I'll wait and see. I hope splinterlands takes some of these messages to heart.
