RE: The Incoherent Ravings of a Mad Man

in #splinterlands5 years ago

Good points, I'm disapointed about marketing. Simple adwords campaign driven to games forums would bring some users, and cpc is very low on thiese games ads. We heard about marketing year ago or more and I feel like nothing is done in this matter. Sure, guys promote game to crypto world but it is bad idea because crypto guys bring more bots than players. We need players who do not care about crypto but care about playing from time to time on mobile on their route to work or school.

Sort:  

Does not matter, who is going to pay $10 to try the game? And then when they do they get some free low level untaimed that do nothing. There will not ever be any real new users on this system. Making accounts free and giving them a good deck to try out at least we have a fighting change. But if we do that then we have to ban the 1000's of low level bots... I'm told that can't happen. :(

I'm a new "real" player. I really like the aspect of a crypto "decentralized" game that can also be a source of revenue if done correctly. However, I cannot complete against bots, and did not realize that it was so prevalent in the game until now, after "investing" a couple thousand dollars. Guess I'm the sucker! :-(

It honestly takes a few thousand dollars to get someone to stick around. I'm sorry you feel like the investment was a mistake but that is pretty much what most people are thinking right now.

Can you however explain more on how you cannot compete against bots? Forreward share or first place or what? I would have thought someone mid range would have been okay as mostly I hear complaints at the lowest and highest levels.

Thanks

Sure, Average bots, yes. I am sure I can compete and I have. TBH, I haven't tried the higher levels, but, if they are dominated by high dollar bots as it is suggested then there is now way that I will when I get there. The whole point of a journey is to make it to the end of that journey, not 50 miles before the end of the journey. If your destination is to see the ocean, you cannot from that distance.

I am mid-range now, it took me 2 weeks and about $2K + to get there. Why pour more money in to the game and not be able to get much further past the point I am at now. It just takes some of the fun out of the game TBH. And, from what I understand, you run a high dollar bot, so you have a financial interest in the game. So, anyway, my 2 cents, enjoy!

crypto guys bring more bots than players.
Or try the whole bloody thing!

Said it before, the quality of the game itself and how it is able to be played should not predicate who is targeted as a potential market.

The more crypto grinding and bot-loaded the game environment becomes, the less playable the game is. This game has an identity now and did before, it can't decide how to be a good game on its own or be a carrot on a stick for the cryptodonkey to chase - in the end it will do neither.

If the land change is much like what @j6969 described it as, then it will just turn into a shitty flash-in-the-pan #TRON-based game of which i've seen so many, and seen the end of many more.
