How are you? I hope so! Another week has passed and we are here to talk about 
Since I started playing Splinterlands I was fascinated with the idea of buying cards and monetizing with them in all possible ways: playing, renting, SPS airdrop, trading cards, among others.
The earnings from all these possibilities were enormous, so owning any game assets was the goal of many players, especially cartass in mid 2021. Splinterlands was so successful that Untamed packs quickly sold out and what was left was to buy expensive cards on the in-game market.
I always hated the idea of renting cards, because at the end of the season there were always many cancellations of cards and the rent was surreal. I remember that in this epoch with an account that had about 10K of Collection Power (today this is not much), I could get about $50, with rental cards, only in the last days of the season. How I miss that time that is not coming back! 馃様
This introduction is intended to show that the cards in Splinterlands have always been assets in high demand, due to the scarcity and profitability they brought with them.
But then came the Chaos Legion edition and rewards cards that flooded the card market, bringing with them the inflation of these assets. The daily SPS airdrop no longer existed and as packs were opened more cards were on the market.
Even so, players were always focused on growing their collections in order to move up in the leagues and play tougher, more fun matches, and most importantly, earn better rewards.
However, with card inflation in the market, the prices for buying and renting cards are not what they used to be. There is too much card supply for an ever decreasing demand for players. The average number of players in the six-month period has gone from 125K to 65K today. Almost half of the players left Splinterlands in the six month period.
Currently what is plaguing players is the SPS requirement per League, which causes players to receive rewards proportional to the staked SPS they have. What I have noticed is that there are many old players leaving the game.
A crowded market for cards and a bear market in cryptocurrencies has made players increasingly apprehensive, as they prefer to rent rather than buy cards. After all, renting is becoming cheaper with the massive departure of bots and with renting the player protects capital, because the cards are in a downward trend for a long time.
Another factor that has made the price of cards fall is precisely this requirement of SPS per League, which makes players stop buying cards to invest in SPS and try to prepare for this change.
I myself have stopped buying cards since this announcement and am focusing on buying SPS whenever possible. I am not leaving Splinterlands after all, as I am too in to leave and I believe many are also in the same situation. Splinterlands is more than a game it is a strong community!
My current goal is to reach 20K SPS by mid-August, when this new update is implemented. For this I intend to buy every week at least $10 of SPS and with the gains of the Ranked Battles and Brawl reach this mark. And with the falling market it is even easier to accumulate.
In addition, there is the fact that it creates another barrier for new players to enter Splinterlands. There are so many requirements to play Splinterlands that a beginning player is lost and even discouraged.
I am proof of this, because three months ago I invited my cousin to play Splinterlands and even directing him what paths he should follow I see that he is discouraged and frustrated with Splinterlands. However, I don't give up on him and whenever possible I am teaching and encouraging him to grow in Splinterlands.
In this post we saw that players are prioritizing buying SPS, and maybe that is another reason why the card market is trending downward. I hope this change can be felt by everyone in a positive way! What do you expect from this new update?

Tudo bem com voc锚s? Espero que sim! Mais uma semana se passou e estamos aqui para falar sobre
Desde que comecei a jogar Splinterlands fiquei fascinado com a ideia de comprar cart玫es e monetizar com eles de todas as formas poss铆veis: jogando, alugando, airdrop de SPS, fazendo trade de cartas, dentre outros.
Os ganhos com todas essas possibilidades eram enormes, por isso possuir quaisquer ativos do jogo era o objetivos de muitos jogadores, principalmente cartass em meados de 2021. Splinterlands fez tanto sucesso que packs Untamed rapidamente se esgotaram e o que restava era compra cartas super caras no mercado do jogo.
Sempre destestei a ideia de alugar cartas, pois ao final da temporada sempre haviam muitos cancelamentos de cartas e o aluguei era surreal. Lembro que nessa epoca com uma conta que possuia cerca de 10K de Colection Power (hoje isso n茫o 茅 grande coisa), conseguia obter cerca de $50, com aluguel de cartas, somente nos 煤ltimos dias da temporada. Que saudades desse tempo que n茫o volta! 馃様
Essa introdu莽茫o relembrando um pouco do passado tem o objetico de mostrar que as cartas em Splinterlands sempre foram ativos de alta demanda, devido a escassez e a rentabilidade que traziam consigo.
Por茅m, veio a edi莽茫o Chaos Legion e cartas rewards que inundaram o mercado de cartas trazendo consigo a infla莽茫o desses ativos+. O airdrop di谩rio de SPS j谩 n茫o existia e a medida que packs eram abertos mais cartas tinhamos no mercado.
Mesmo assim, os jogadores sempre focavam em crescer suas cole莽玫es, a fim de subirem de liga e jogarem partidas mais acirradas, divertidas e principalmente ganharem melhores recompensas.
Por茅m, com a infla莽茫o de cartas no mercado os pre莽os para comprar e alugar j谩 n茫o s茫o os mesmo de outrora. Ha muita oferta de carta para uma demanda cada vez menor de jogadores. A m茅dia de jogadores no per铆odo de seis meses foi de 125K para 65K atuais. Quase metade dos jogadores deixaram Splinterlands no periodo de 6 meses.
Atualmente o que est谩 atormentando os jogadores 茅 o requerimento de SPS por Liga, que faz com que os jogadores recebam recompensas proporcionais ao SPS staked que possui. O que tenho percebido 茅 que existem v谩rios jogadores antigos abondonando o jogo.
Um mercado abarrotado de cartas e um bear market nas criptomedas tem deixados os jogadores cada vez mais apreensivos, que preferem alugar do que comprar cartas. Afinal aluguel est谩 cada vez mais barato com a sa铆da massiva de bots e com aluguel o jogador protege capital, pois as cartas est茫o em tend锚ncia de queda a muito tempo.
Outro fator que tem feito o pre莽o das cartas cair 茅 justamente esse requerimento de SPS por Liga, que faz com que os jogadores parem de comprar cartas para investir em SPS e tentar se prepararem para essa mudan莽a.
Eu mesmo parei de comprar cartas, desde esse an煤ncio e estou focando em comprar SPS sempre que poss铆vel. Afinal n茫o vou sair de Splinterlands, pois estou muito dentro para sair e creio que muitos tamb茅m est茫o na mesma situa莽茫o. Splinterlands 茅 mais que um jogo 茅 uma comunidade forte!
Minha meta atual 茅 atingir a marca de 20K SPS at茅 meados de agosto, quando essa nova atualiza莽茫o for implementada. Para isso pretendo toda semana compra pelo menos $10 de SPS e com os ganhos das batalhas rankeadas e Brawl atingir essa marca. E com o mercado em queda fica ainda mais f谩cil de acumular.
Al茅m disso, existe o fato de criar mais uma barreira para novos jogadores entrarem em Splinterlands. S茫o tantos os requisitos para se jogar Splinterlands que um jogador iniciante fica perdido e at茅 desanimado.
Eu sou prova disso, pois h谩 tr锚s meses convidei meu primo para jogar Splinterlands e mesmo o direcionando quais os caminhos deveria seguir vejo que ele est谩 desanimado e frustrado com Splinterlands. Por茅m, eu n茫o desistir dele e sempre que poss铆vel estou a ensinar e incentivar a crescer em Splinterlands.
Neste post vimos que os jogadores est茫o a priorizar a compra de SPS, e talvez esse seja mais um dos motivos para que o mercado de cartas esteja em tend锚ncia de queda. Espero que essa mudan莽a possa ser sentida por todo de forma positiva! E voc锚 o que espera dessa nova atualiza莽茫o?
