RE: Splinterlands - How to deal with level 1 cards in Gold 3 and wintrading champion 1 players
The problem is there aren't enough players.... we have seen an exodus of players since december and not enough replacements coming in that have major bank to buy high level cards, look at prices of cards on market and price of DEC that has tanked because of this sell off. Combine this with the high cost of having a 'gold level' deck... the untamed combine level make it very expensive to own a deck that is level 5. Now with the changes to the rewards people seem to be getting bored with the negative return on investment... I am hoping it turns around soon because I like the game. I have a level 1 deck I am playing now and have gotten to gold II fairly easy because there are few opponents with level 3 or 5 summoners I face.
There is a lot of new players, but they are on the "level 1 cards" tier. This is the reason we can get to gold 2 so easily, hence my suggestion.
They would not be able to get to gold II if we had enough players that had level 3 & greater summoners... but most level 3 summoners are playing at Gold I - diamond III and level 5 summoners are playing up in diamond.. even though the gold league allows a max summoner of level 5 there are no level 5 summoners in gold league right now... if we had not lost so many accounts that had level 3 through 5 summoners and some that had max decks since christmas this wouldnt be a problem...
This would still be a problem anyway, due to how ratings work. A larger playerbase necessarily means more low level players at gold.
