not sure why you thinking so negatively. I don't think it's anything about being poor or being whale. There's many choices in splinterlands to choose from. The thing is you can't have everything unless you are super rich (it was meant to be this way). like for me, I'm out of the land part of the game and I don't even have all the cards max which would be nice.
And the second that i want to share about my thought is The SPS Stake factor. This is literally like team really on side with the whale.
why would you think that? This is literally increasing utility for SPS. it's encouraging people to stake SPS and lock it in not being liquid and easy to sell. more lock = less supply circulating which will means less sell pressure on SPS which should hopefully increase SPS price. SPS price increasing will benefit everybody. Only 2500 sps (about 18usd) to get as low as 1 draw for the black foil stuff. this is super friendly entry. It's lottery system anyways it's going to be luck. Some people won yaba matt gold foil arcane pickle with 1 ticket man.
or Regular Foil player like me, i dont think it changes much. And it will be same with Gold Foil collector player. But after team released Black Foil and Gold Foil Arcana, and Black Foil Arcana, the value of Regular Foil and Gold Foil kinda reduced a lot
There's people that will collect what they can afford. Whales will go for BF GFA BFA. It's meant for people that want to collect; the hardcore people. It's same in real life. Not every pokemon card collector is going to buy a PSA10 first edition charizard from the first card set for god knows how much 100k USD? It's just for collection purposes man. You can still play the game with regular cards man. Regular cards still have value and same with gold foil.
So, Once again after so many times i felt that this game is literally only for whale or people that rich.
Frontier mode has been the most free friendly thing ever in the recent updates. How is frontier mode for whales too? I don't think this mode was ever for the rich.
In conclusion, I think you're not looking at it from a bigger view man. Your view is too closed. Did you ever consider the side of the whales? There are some that are down a lot of money especially from the chaos legion set and honestly whales like bravetofu and vugtis that are diamond handing and buying up everything are keeping the game alive. Without whales as part of stakeholders in this game, I don't think Splinterlands would've survived this long.
