This season is way rougher compared to the previous season. I just keep getting quite a few losing streaks this time around and I even stopped fighting for a bit tonight.
As for SPT, I am worried about that as well so I kind of stopped. I do have some SPT being earned but I just delegate it out for returns. I haven't decided what to do with my liquid SPT yet.
I think the seasons gets rougher with time. I don't really know about this season because I've not really played. What mostly baffles me is what makes the competition really tough. I can't seem to understand. I hope it gets better this season for you.
