RE: I just won 12 STEEM playing in a Steemmonsters Tournament while I was listening to ...
You completely miss the point of this post that is showing how magical the Steem Blockchain has become since it was just Steemit.com showcasing some of the cool apps we have.
I invested heavily into Steem Monsters because I like to invest in good projects. Buying cards was the way to do it. And these cards are mine btw, I can sell them whenever I want. This is not Hearthstone. They also have retained their value pretty damn good in this bear market. I'm very pleased.
But besides that. Steem Monsters allows users with a minimal investment to play in Tournaments in the Bronze level.
And once you have the cards to a certain lvl you can use them in the appropriate Tournaments over and over again and compete.
Example of Bronze Tournament:
Steem Monsters will soon cross $10,000 in price money giving away to players and if the markets work with us we will see this number increase repeatedly.
Yes, but my point was: you're only seeing it from your perspective. As someone who is already heavily invested in Steem.
If Steem Monsters in effect is just like any other app on the blockchain ie. you can expect to see a fair ROI, that's what it is.
But for a competitive game, it should not be "pay 2 win", and in the context of Steem Monsters that should mean that you could potentially win more Steem than you invested, in essence "leapfrogging" the traditional route of building up Steem.
The traditional route of building up Steem is also pay to win? It doesn't bother me, people that pay help Steem and people that buy Steem Monster cards help Steem Monsters. I recently bought a new Steem Monsters starter pack for just $10 and its fun playing at the lowest level. I've spent some money on my main account and that's fun too. The bonus cards can be worth a lot, I got one that's currently selling for over $70 but I'm keeping it. If you can make a better game, then why not make it? That's what I like about Steem, anyone can make whatever they want.
So for some one who invested a lot than 10 Steem winning is in your opinion not enough.
If a player wins a Bronze Tournament with 1-5 Steem than his ROI is in relation to his investment (starter package 10$) even bigger in ROI than from big investors.
Steemmonsters is a totally competitive game where only the best players win the tournaments. If you want more casual gaming than you can just do your daily quest and Ranking for Rewards. You still will be able to earn something and make even higher ROI than big investors.
Steemmonsters is Proof of Game and the better you play it the better your ROI.
No I think 10 Steem is nice.
I wouldn't call the game competitive though 🙂

Why not competitive if that is the most common impression of all regular players? And why do the so "called" good players win more often even when they have the same level of cards?
