Hello Buskeria Citizens
It's been a while since my last post about Rising Star Game which was not about PRO CHART. Recently I have been dedicated myself much in the PRO CHART, and I start to think that maybe I should post other too, so people do not think anything funny about me doing the PRO CHART only.
Anyway my PRO CHART is working well recently, I have set it properly so it works as I have planned.
Today I have 4 singles in PRO CHART and they give me more than 0.2 SWAP.HIVE.
Yesterday I had 3 singles and those three gave me more than 0.2 SWAP.HIVE
Let see 2 days ago, I had 4 chart and they gave me more than 0.2 SWAP.HIVE too.
So I think it is legit to say that I manage to set my PRO CHART to generate 0.2 SWAP.HIVE per day. Those would build up a monthly stream of 3 SWAP.HIVE, well that is not a good amount of fund but still it is great regarding I get them from thin air lol...
I am a number guy, so I am not delusional about getting something. I know how big the reward pool for PRO CHART and I think that's the number I can get with what I have right now.
Anyway Today is not about PRO CHART, it is about my core game in RISING STAR... It is the LEADERBOARD RANKING
First, I have to make a disclamer in front. I am not the best Rising Star Game player, I haven't been in top 20 before, never in my life. I just love to play this game and I pick leaderboard ranking as my core game.
You see, today I sit on rank 60. There are 59 players who are better than me. I am trying to get into top 50 but I can tell you that it is not simple at all. Well simple if I dump some money in, berserking in buying many cards, however I can not see any fun in doing so.
Even in rankings around me, the competition is very tight. The gap between each ranking is very small. Let see 3 players above me and 3 players below me. For 7 ranking positions there, the gap is less than 2%.
The most lean one is 
Myself is not different than those two. I have the highest ratio of total IM : total cards, which means I only buy high IM cards. In the past this was the most efficient way, however it had changed since the ranking assessment changed, which right now the unique cards has 89% value...
And by saying this, I already spill the key of getting into the Leaderboard Ranking... It is by buying cards directly, not by opening packs. Most OG have known this, and I believe this is the reason why packs opening has got very low in volume.
People want to be as efficient as they can, because buying more in packs won't significantly push you up above. Once you get the cards, you want to save up for the next new cards release. Personally, I haven't withdrawn any Starbits for years, because I know when I start withdrawing, my Leaderboard Rank will drop. It is another reason why I develop my PRO CHART, so I can generate something without having to withdraw my Starbits.
Ok if buying cards is better, why do I open packs?
I have said this several times in every Rising Star Game. The packs opening is getting lower. How do I know this? I will use the most simple way, I can not buy cards!
I will use https://risingstarutils.xyz/utils/trade-history to back up my answer there.
2 weeks ago I wanted to buy some Skills by getting some people cards. unfortunately only 5 of them were available in the market. I had to spend 52.775 Starbits just to get a net of 100 skills.
Anyway the display is wrong, it gets mixed up between luck and skill. Let's poke 
If I go further behind, we can see that the previous purchase was last month. I had to spend 116K Starbits just to get a net 300 skills. So getting a skill right now has became very expensive. People who had the cards did not want to let them go.
Do packs opening solve this issue? absolutely not
That an issue of fighting the ego, by adding more skills. Packs opening actually makes it worse. another pin point facts why people avoid opening more packs.
However packs opening help the ecosystem in long run. More cards available for the mint or blends. You can get unique cheaper too, regarding the current market is not letting any cards available for cheap.
Anyway, do I still buy card individually?
That's my answer and my plan in maintaining my position in leaderboard ranking. I am still buying unique cards, but the cards I am looking for are not the recent ones. I am buying old Epics and Legendaries, which they are not coming for cheap, in fact all of them are overpriced.
You want to compete with us, the middle dweller of leaderboard ranking? Well, you know what you must do and how much it will cost you, right?
Good Luck then
Ok this time we can do this. The last post was too long so I decided not to make any packs opening, but not for today. As usual, for every Rising Star Game post I make, I will open 10 packs.
Let see if I have something interesting today...
The first pack is the most interesting one, I get that R649 Red Monster card. In the past, this was excellent because a rare vehicle would boost your fans a lot and that helped you in mining Starbits.
However it doesn't work like that right now. The music lesson demands Starpro so people avoiding EGO at any cost. So this kind of cards become a dead weight for small to medium size account. Anyway, I am a mid size player, not a big one lol.
And that closes today packs opening. The rest are very awful and I have no wish to share it here. It's a bunch or rare instruments, that's all.
Ok that's for today posts, Cheers!
Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.
