Once Chaos Legion rotates out, those days likely will be gone but still. I don't think I know any game that is more pay2win than Splinterlands. It's mostly submitting your battle hoping you are up against a player with weaker cards instead of one with stronger cards. just a small number of battles you feel like you actually have an impact on the outcome.

It's such a shame because Splinterlands really has the potential to be an actual super fun and exciting game if only you are only up against real players who don't cheat and are on a level playing field. It also doesn't look like that is coming anytime soon.
