I will explain the scam-like term down below, but first I would like to mention that today I reached the milestone of 9500 Splinterlands battles. I played 9512 Wild battles and 38 Modern battles so far. So I am getting closer and closer to the 10 000 Splinterlands battles milestone.
The play-to-earn aspect of the game is keep getting worse and worse. This is why I started to lease out my Splinterlands cards, and this is why the Silver III League is currently locked for me.
I still play Splinterlands, but only for fun. This is what I received today in the daily focus chests.
I had 0.09 pending SPS rewards after receiving the contents of the daily focus chests.
Pending, because I cannot really claim them yet. Splinterlands says that "You must have at least 5 total SPS before you may claim".
And this is where the scam-like term comes in. I mean come on. Minimum amount to claim. And so high? Really? This is crazy. It should automatically be added to our balances. Why we even need to claim it? Previously the Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) were automatically added to our balances.
Splinterlands is starting to feel like a bad pay-to-click (PTC) scam. That was similar. Clicking for less than one cent, and the minimum withdrawal was $5 USD, or $10 USD. This really/actually reminds me of a PTC scam. Probably some of us remember the PTC scams. They were very popular in the previous decade, and many people fell for them.
Sorry to write this, but the Splinterlands developers are making this game worse and worse from the monetary aspect. I really hope that Splinterlands will not turn into a scam.
At first I thought that this is a joke. A very bad joke. But it is serious. I tried to claim the rewards multiple times, and the website always gave me that "You must have at least 5 total SPS before you may claim" message.
I play Splinterlands since 2018.12.30, and this is the most disappointing thing about Splinterlands I have seen so far.
Splinterlands itself is a fun game, but its financial side is really starting to look like a scam.
Either way, I do not know how long it will work, but I keep leasing out my Splinterlands cards.
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
