Great post! Could've easily been two posts, just saying 😜 And yes, there is much value in this one, especially for me.
The end of the Grum-Experiment is sad, but 41 days of renting is quite the streak for that amazing price. Also, the results are nice. I think it's very insightful and now I definitely will want that one plot we talked about to conduct my own experiment :-D Remember that you only had one card working. If you put all 5 on the plot, everything goes up accordingly.
I love the new modern, and I often repeat that. The strategical depth is worth exploring, and although it's getting difficult for me without having maxed summoners, I still enjoy it a lot. If you are to sell your modern cards, let me know, I'm still buying more and more (as you know since I get my potions from you). Also, the ROI is still very nice.
The stake that you have in land and the DEC it produces can get you up the ladder easily. If I could buy 40k DEC worth of cards every week without doing much, I'd be very happy. And there are many other ways to multiply your DEC (SPL trader for example). But, at the same time - you already have a such a big stake in land that you can use that weight to gain more, and multiply that part of income.
Ahahaha. Don't worry. I plan to post more in the succeeding days!
Yeah, I'm a little bummed the Grum rental was cancelled. At least we had good enough data for all that time spent. And yes, I know I could have experimented with more workers but I wanted to make things simple and easy to understand. Players can experiment with what they want to see what works for them.
Regarding the New Modern, my only concern is the amount of time I put into playing. It makes me question if it's worth me spending more money into gameplay if I don't play as much as I used to.
I miss the leagues. Gold league was my sweet spot regarding investment comfort level.
I still am on the fence if I will sell out of modern. If ever I do, the funds will most likely go into Land. I love the passive income aspect of it.
If time is a factor, than modern might not be the best choice. Even the bots are beating me up where I'm at, as they're max level, and my summoners gold :-D I do miss the leagues, too. Even knowing the arguments against leagues, it think it was just more fun and fairer with them. When I don't have time, I just have the bot do it all, though it makes a lot less in Wild then I make in Modern.
Regarding the experiment, I just checked, and I think Stone is not easy to rent for these days, as it's Fire, Dragon and Death. Harklaw is the cheapest at 5 DEC/day, so 205 DEC in the 41 days. Still, a little bit of profit, but at $20 a plot it would take 5 workers 1640 days to get the investment back in. And the cancelling of rent is a problem, creates uncertainty. I still prefer to buy and own :-D
