For a long time I have been hearing about all the Cards being designed with Skins in mind. It is only now we are seeing the Skins playing a major part in the game. Skins are a popular thing among most of the multiplayer games we see these days. I do not assign a lot of value to them as they are not a functional part of the game. I use them for speculation with a slice of fun. I have only spent a small part of my portfolio on Skins.
I thought the Skins being sold for Glint was a Halloween event and I did participate. It seems like these will become a continuing trend for some time as creating these Skins take vastly less effort while acting as a good sink for Glint. Players have to play Battles for Glint. There is no easy way to just buy Glint and make purchases. The activities that earn Glint brings value to the Cards + SPS.
I Do Plan to Keep Buying
The main focus I have for my Glint is Legendary Draws. I do not want to spend large amounts of funds on extremely rare Skins. I am happy to dabble in the cheaper offerings that can add some fun to the game (including for those who play against me). Seeing a fresh design for a Card may improve the experience for many players (especially normies).
It takes me less than 2 Battles won to afford one of these. Who knows if these will ever be available. Think of what happened to Beta or Untamed Cards. They improved in value as time pass and more players join.
