RE: Splinterlands Development Update - September 2019
Rental market
It's still the best option available. There is no good tutorial and the interface isn't easy to deal with. If that can be fixed or if other alternatives can be offered, then problem solved. Oh and there's also epic summoners which are much cheaper.
If you don't like how rentals is the only alternative other than manual leases, you can offer support to different alternatives.
Shameless plug, my website https://steemmonsters.club has automated 7-day lease lotteries of cards from $0.30 to $6. Players can participate in the lotteries by just going there and clicking join. Next on our roadmap is free leases to subscribed members.
Cool thing you're doing. I found out about the site a couple of days ago.
Of course I like the rental market. It offers people a chance to play without having to invest a truckload of money. But I do see people upping their rental prices regularly. With the price of Steem being this low, renting might be cheap in USD, but it does take up quite some Steem.
$5 = 30 Steem at the time of writing... it's not that easy to come by these days. Not for a newcomer, at least.
I also like the herons-Unlimited system... I have a couple of decks in there too. And we have been doing this within Team Possible for almost a year now. (We don't have a script, like Tc, so everything is still done manually, lol).
That's how people like Faiyaz and hossainbd started to play.
However,... all these things have been set up by 3rd parties. The people from Peakmonsters, Tcpolymath, Team Possible, you,...
If you dig through rentals enough, you'll find amazing deals. You can get a gold-capable splinter good for a month for less than $3. But you can also spend a lot less to get it just for a week which is still very much worth it.
Steemmonsters devs are busy enough with their current schedule. They cannot put investor money at risk by developing things that might not work out at all. That said, rentals can only exist thanks to official development of delegations, which is very recent!
Let the creativity come from the community. Support us. :)
Amen to that 😉
