I am having a very poor Splinterlands season
I am having what is probably the worst season I've had since the change in the reward season. It has been a very frustrating season with new types of daily focuses that I sincerely don't understand.
At the same time, I also have to take some of the blame for my showing this season, as I've been preoccupied with other activities that include community management and general stuff in my personal life.
Going back to the daily focuses, I've found them to be a tad bit confusing. I mean, I understand what I am supposed to do, but I haven't quite grasped how the daily focus point is generated and how to ensure I am maximising my potential.
In not so distant past, the daily focus would have a direct correlation with the active elements(summoners that are available for battle). So, in essence, if you had a life focus for the day, in every battle, your life deck will always be available.
Right now, I honestly don't understand how it works. How do I have a death daily focus and when I get paired for battle, I'm only allowed to use water? When you win with Water, you still get focus points, so what's up with that?
The most annoying part of everything is that I don't have advanced summoners for Earth and Water, which turns out to be the game's favourite. So, I basically play one battle with death and then in the next round, the game basically ensures I have to play with either Earth or Water, which is kind of sus, when you think about it.
In any case, the only reason I have a problem with this situation is that I don't have summoners for Earth and Water. Water, in particular, turns out to be my weakest link, so even when combined with Dragon, it is still quite useless.
The main reason my water is this weak was that I figured that if you don't have Alric Storm Bringer or any magic boosting summoner, you might as well just focus your energy elsewhere.
Underwhelming daily focus reward
In the past couple of days, the reward from completing daily focus has been largely underwhelming. It has just been a lot of potions and one or two commons.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still grateful that I get to earn a couple of dollars worth of assets from playing a game but I have to say, the change in the read system has been a real culture shock for me.
Newer players in our midst will probably not understand how much things have changed in SPlinterlands but I guess that just comes with growth. Rewards from doing quests aren't quite as valuable as they use to be and it keeps getting harder with more competition for limited resources trooping into the game every day.
In any case, I am having a really terrible season. My playing time has reduced, the quality of rewards has reduced and I'm still struggling to even grasp how the rating point works. All I can do now is to soldier through it, try to improve, sort out all the personal stuff hindering my regular playtime and start piling up the chests again.

Me too stuck in Diamond II. Let see where I end up.
I finally entered gold 2, which is my maximum. In previous seasons, I usually enter gold 2 after like five days of the season but here I am,
It's been really tough to win battles this season. Not sure why. But advancing in ranks has been super difficult this season. Maybe it's better for game economy....

New players won't notice the difference and if the game and continue onboarding at the current rate, it will be good for the economy

I think the way the reward works for Focus is quite different nowadays and confusing. Whether you play your focus element or card or not, you still end getting your points for focus. Need I say the changes have been questionable and confusing and even less rewarding.

It is very confusing and stressful sometimes.
Sometimes I feel like I should stop playing and only rely on my renting income. Grinding everyday is tough especially when you encounter a bot (when players get zero or little to non DEC and points) and I feel like stress because I'm not enjoying anything.
I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about the rewards lately and I'm experiencing the same. I don't know what is happening but I think Splinterlands might have changed the drop rates.
To maximize the daily focus points you have to try to use the cards from the specific challenge you're trying to farm. For example: When you have a flying daily focus every monster with the flying you use will give you a bonus in the number of reward points you get from winning the battle.
My advice would be to focus on winning, if the challenge fits the match then go ahead and use some of the cards for a little boost otherwise ignore the daily focus and go for the win.
Great Post!

Many things has changed about splinterlands and the reward is not encouraging for now. Maybe they want to include sps in rank battles that is why everything is low

My rewards drove off a cliff as soon as 2.0 dropped and unfortunately, each season just manages to get worse.
With the new daily quests, they treat whatever is chosen for your focus as a bonus similar to the Gold Foil bonus. So if you have a death focus and water, you still get the focus points, you just don't gain a bonus. Had you played death in that scenario, you'd get an extra 10% per death card you played.
They also changed it so whatever your focus is, isn't guaranteed to be available every battle. I think this one had more to do with the new ability-based focuses and the splinter focuses not being available was just a byproduct. I think this is also why they changed it so you earn focus points no matter what you play and then every card you play that's inline with your focus gets an extra bonus.

Add green tea to your diet and do at least 15 threads per day.
That is a proven way to help with Splinterlands.

At what point do you stop being an active player and purely a passive investor?

Same problem here. I'm finding winning much harder which is also eating up my energy capture rate
