It is the end of another splinterlands season, and I have to say that this is the first time I have had fewer rewards that influenced my decision to buy or not buy a legendary draw. Legendary draws are high-end purchases, and their availability reflects a player's performance during the season. 


However, the new changes make it even more difficult to earn glint rewards, even though SPS rewards have increased significantly.



## GLINTS are Underrated 

One might think that no one would notice the reduction in Glint rewards because the focus is primarily on earning good SPS rewards, but this is not the case. So, to actually win, you need good cards in the game, and even though the soulbound cards have not yet been unlocked, they have provided a very good source of deck and card quality to anyone who wishes to compete. 

So the Glints rewards were not simply reduced; rather, the SPS requirements were raised, implying that if you did not purchase more SPS after the most recent changes, your Glint rewards would eventually decline. This doesn't apply to modern, as everything seems to be working nicely over there. 


It is been a breath of fresh air to play in the Wild format; I can not say that bot farming has stopped entirely, but I believe it is a work in progress. It is still unfortunate that people must pay to compete in the wild format, but that is the new reality. I believe that the slight increase in SPS rewards means that you can save enough money to pay for the wild pass without having to pay it out of pocket.


 Normally, raising the requirements to ban bots is a good thing, and you should not have to pay to enjoy it, but this is the current reality of splinterlands. My wild pass experiment went well. Previously, I earned about 7 SPS on a good day, but now I average between 8.5 and 12 SPS per day, which means I can cumulatively pay for a wild pass with the bonus reward for 14 days of saving some SPS. 


Although this means we are back to earning nearly the same SPS as before the changes were implemented, the real winner is the splinterlands asset market. This means that the market will no longer see bot dumps, and the price of SPS may become more stable. I suppose this is a win for everyone. However, the ultimate winners are the guys in the modern format who get to keep their rewards while eliminating SPS dumpers, which is why the proposal passed so quickly.


## The beginning of the season is the worst.

 You get to play summoners and cards of the highest level, and all you can do is watch them helplessly tear you apart. This is where you will wish you had not bought that wild pass because you will be losing so many games. This season and the previous season are the same; I lost a lot of games from the first to the fifth day of the season, and then gradually started winning from the middle to the end. 


There were days when I received more than 12 SPS per day; I realize this is not much, but it is a significant improvement. I am not sure if I will be able to continue getting the wild pass, but it is been an interesting two weeks. Overall, buying the pass means I am still earning the same amount of SPS because I have to pay for it.

## No Legendaries For Me



I did not buy any legendary draws; instead, I gambled with a few chest draws before purchasing rare and common draws. I only bought one epic draw, and that was it. I also purchased and opened four Gladius cases, and I received another Quora. Quora has been instrumental to my games, getting 5 more means I'll get him to level 3, unfortunately earning 5 Quora might even take a year or more, depending on how you're earning merits. 

Nothing too exciting, apart from the Quora, and leveling up one or two cards. I have gotten the wild for this season and I'll try it out again
