# Hi,

I started playing splinterlands game late. I started playing it in 2020 I think. Since then I played ranked matches almost every week. Once this game was free to play. You only have to invest on buying card sets and then there was no restriction over gameplay, subject to energy or game mana.

As you can see it needs to buy wild pass to play with the card sets which are not the latest one. In this way your card sets like alpha, beta etc. become useless until you buy wild pass. But the cost of wild pass is 2000 DEC which is roughly equal to $2. This pass is not permanent. You'll have to buy again after the end of the season which lasts for 14-15 days.

This is too much for the people like me. I request splinterlands team to remove this condition. I can't afford to pay that much for a period of half of the month. If this is not done, I have no choice but to sell all of my cards at cheap rate and quit the game forever. It is very hard to quit the game which I loved so much. This is so bad for me.
