I think one of the best things about Splinterlands is the possibilities it offers. You can chose one playstyle you favour or play them all. You can make your bot work in survival mode to benefit from the cards you collected, or rent out your stuff for dec.

I understand that at first it can be confusing to have multiple currencies and game modes, but you don't need to use all currencies to benefit from the game and be able to improve your deck.

You can spend glint earned from playing, dec earned from renting, credits bought directly with fiat currencies, sps from playing and staking, vouchers and tokens, tickets to participate in extra events such as reward pulls.

I hope the team won't simplify the game, to be honest. Frontier is all starters need, in my opinion; also support of the community and more veteran players.
