Some knowed players and several not so knowed has left the game because they get bored, why the game seams less fun than before? there are some reasons but the main one is that Card games need new cards to keep them fun, but unfortunately it is not the best idea for splinterlands to put more cards in the market right now with the excessive amount of cards per player and the low demand.
Other way to keep the game been fun is with new game modes, Draft Mode ,Arena, Brawl, we could use something similar as the others cards games or come with something more original.
Yes the team is thinking on making some new modes maybe they have even star to work in something but at the current speed the things are going, will take a while for it to come out, probably on 2024 but we need it right now to stop losing players, hope the team can make it a priority after finish with 1.5 Land or star working right not on it if this is not going to slow down Land, someone could make a proposal to use some Dao funds to hire some help for the team to speed up the new updates for the game.
Other idea to keep things interesting is anything new that increases chests rewards value, like change the packs from Chaos Legion to Riftwatcher and Burn the Chaos Legion ones, other idea is putting a very small set of cards in Reward Chests somethings like 7 or 10 different cards of different rarities with a very low print rate(maybe something like 60% of Untamed rewards cards print rate) and with a lot lower chance to get than the current rewards cards, this cards can be promo cards to give even more value to them and should be tradeable from the star, yes more cards are not the best idea right now but few of them with a very low print rate will definitely make more good than bad.
Any increases in rewards value besides make things more interesting will make a positive change for the game economy, new players will come, the current one will star playing more taking they cards off the rental market and also rent cards, making rental prices goes up and cards value as well.
