Splinterlands ramblings, and a tiny break

Another season begins, and it's one that I will likely fully skip, since I'll be away from the computer a good part of it. That also means that I'll only announce the winner of the coming giveaway two weeks from now; seeing it on the bright side, it's more time for you to join in! :)

This weeks also marked some changes in the glint shop, with a new set of chests being introduced, giving a chance for a jackpot prize, that includes beta packs, titles and even land plots! The mechanics were nerfed not even 48h after launch, since the team hadn't antecipated such enthusiasm from the players... nor the fact that apparently one single account (connected to a bot farm) was able to get almost 20% of the entire prizes given out on that time frame. If that is true, well, it's just another exploit, another extraction, it's another whatever you want to call it, created by the same situation Splinterlands team keeps perpetuating; the one that is slowly (or faster, at this point) dragging the game to the ground and pushing real players away (and I would say investors as well: bots.

I wont dwelve on this subject again, at least not today. My only question is, when? When will human players start getting the attention they deserve?
