I hate the fee, all my best cards are for the wild part of the game. I don't have good summoners at a high level for the modern game. I also spent a lot of money on my wild cards. Most of the earlier players do have the wild cards, so they penalise the early adopters.
RE: Wild Pass: Splinterlands added a new additional fee to play in Wild, here is why I am thinking about quitting Splinterlands.
