yeah, exactly... I was so focused on my personal experience that I didn't even consider the elephant in the room... what's the point in starting to play steemmonsters when cards worth fifty bucks won't be enough to do anything other than tinker around in bronze league.

I understand they want to keep selling boosters and also keep the invested players happy, but clearly the game is being directed from a point-of-view that's above Diamond.

If they don't come up with a different way to make maybe slower but at least real progress for a regular player, I also think they've just killed their biggest growth driver.

And really, if they had released the new cards in exclusive boosters... I bet the mavericks would have bought these en masse, too...

Oh well, we'll see how this goes down.
