RE: Steem Monsters Ranked Play Season 2 Updates!
Well i'm not cryng, i have my 20 free packs for this season. I'm just worried about the game as whole. We are in 2018 and pay to win mechanic showed to be a total fail since 10 years ago. It's ok to give extra reward to top 10, but I think there should be something more to involve -not rich- people to play this game. The card value thing is another big deal: it's true that more cards = value crash, that's why the game should shift a bit away from pay to win to something more skill based. Right now thare are really few teams that are op in almost every situations, especially when cards are maxed out
You can not compare this to freemium games because they are not the same. Cards having and retaining value because of provable scarcity makes this different then your normal video game.
Also pay to win means that you can only win if you pay no matter how much time you put in. This is obviously not the case here.
Pay to win means you can't progress in the game if you do not pay for contents. I don't think you can do climb the ladder so easily with lv1 cards :P
Anyway it's ok, that were just my 2 cents :)
Not easily but you can. You win the same packs that can be bought. Is it slower, yes, and you pay for it that way. Some games you cannot progress all the way UNLESS you pay, which is not the case here. They are going to sell 900,000 beta packs for $2 each. You want them to sell out asap, because that means more money for contests, but ridiculing a minor bonus when you may not realize they are trying to incentive the very top to keep pushing once they reach the last level or for other reasons is a waste of everyone's time. Just my business pov 2 cents :-)
