"As far as prizes go, it is estabilished that a lot more prizes of a lot less value is a much more popular concept than very few but huge prizes. Unfortunately, Splinterlands has it all backwards at this point."

With this point I am disagree, as Splinterlands has doubled the prices in most tournaments after release of untamed, so in the tournaments with (before) 32 prices now exist 64 prices and in the tournaments with (before) 16 prices exist now 32 prices. In my opinion it was really a good idea to do so.
