Part 21...If I were a new player, would I be able to play this game? Dust to Diamond!
Ok It's been awhile and I decided I needed to bring this to your attention. I don't believe that new players coming on board can play this game; NOT without putting a decent amount of fiat or crypto into it. Let me explain why.
If you had been following my blog, you know that I started Guufbawl with a spellbook ($10) and not a dime more. I did not put ANY more money into this noob account. Nor did I give him cards or DEC or SPS or anything that would help him in anyway shape or form. Also I did not solicit help from anyone. and to top this off, I started this account in April, a little before they announced they would give 3k credits to new purchases of spellbooks (I'm screwed). I started to collect cards from dailies and EOS. Most of that was accomplished by renting cards that I needed in order to replace ghost cards. And that all worked until now.
As you may have realized that all sps earned from ranked battles is automatically staked when it's claimed. At first this wasn't an issue however, now you can only claim the SPS from ranked battles if you have 5 SPS in rewards tallied up. Do you know how long it takes to earn 5 sps in bronze? even in silver it's not that easy. And once you are able to claim it, it takes 4 weeks to unstake it. only 1/4 of 5 sps is unstaked every week. This will make it near impossible for anyone to make it as a noob. It will require money in order of $25 (not including spellbook) to have a decent chance at this game. I'm down to 5 dec and not much more renting left out of that and if I don't get a crap ton of sps and get it unstaked, put a fork in it. Guufbawl's challenge is over and he will just become another account. So here's hoping to a good eos and exchanging sps for DEC in order to rent. It just may be too much to overcome.
Until next time,
Join me on my journey (or last hurrah) from Dust to Diamond!
