5. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last month or so, have been IA, are blind, or have a smooth brain like net in Among Us, the chances are pretty high that you’ve heard of the International Simulation Football League’s hottest new addition, and no I’m not talking about the expansion teams, I’m talking about everyone’s favorite online only trading cards, Dotts! From my experience, I’d say about 95 percent of users in the league love Dotts, but the other 5 percent ~~are stupid~~ usually have three specific complaints that they use every time. The fact that the website doesn’t work on Google Chrome, the fact that there isn’t trading between players allowed, and they think the packs are too expensive.
First of all, I’d like to say that the Dotts website not being compatible with Google Chrome is a very legitimate complaint. I’m sure Google Chrome is the most used browser by people in the league, since it is very popular. From what I heard, the website was compatible with Google Chrome for most of testing, and then a few days before release, an problem occurred and they were unable to fix it before the release. So they let it roll out without Google Chrome, because let's be honest Dotts is better than no Dotts, even if some of us had to go download Firefox or something. And I believe that by the time the newest season of cards rolls out in a few days, the problem will have been fixed and we can all delete ugly Firefox.
Now, the complaint that there is no trading available at this point is also a pretty good complaint. They aren’t called trading cards for nothing. I mean, right now they are but NOT FOR LONG! Of course, one of the things the Dotts team is working on is introducing trading to the system, since it is one of the most requested features by the league. I think this will help increase the purchasing of cards, however not by much since most people will just buy one pack and then trade for their own player’s card. Personally, I’m going to trade for the ebic Nicholas Ayers Rookie of the Year card, because he’s cute and we all know he’s gonna win. But mostly because he’s cute. And if I don’t manage to pull my own card, which I probably won’t because I’m super unlucky, I’ll trade for that too. I’m not sure if the trading feature will be available this month, but I’m sure the team is working hard to get it out to the masses as soon as they can.
The third complaint, that the Dotts cards are too expensive, I really don’t agree with. Currently, the packs sit at $500k per pack, each pack has six cards in it, which puts each card at about 83 thousand ISFL dollars each. With the current media system, 400 words pays out 580k. So if you write 70 words per card drawn, that's 420 total words, which pays out at least 600k, a more than 100 thousand dollar profit, per day. Using this strategy, combined with maximum weekly Twitter payouts will earn you $1.4M per week, more than enough to get weekly training each week and have some left over. If you still think the Dotts cards are too expensive, then you probably also think the equipment is too expensive. And you’re just wrong. It’s easy to make up the money lost, and you get cool cards for it too.
Dotts’ main goal is to take money out of the economy. Take it out of the players’ bank accounts and put it… somewhere. And Dotts has been successful in this goal. According to mithrandir, someone who actually is part of the Dotts team, four hundred and sixty three MILLION dollars have been spent on Dotts packs, which is a lot more than I expected it to be when I asked mith about it. Not including free packs given away like on the one day when there was a free pack available and the buy one get one free day that happened recently, 926 Dotts packs have been sold to excited players around the league. Including the free packs given away, over 1000 packs have been opened by players. That’s over 6000 cards in less than a month of being operational. This number doesn’t even count the free packs in the buy one get one free event, since that happened so recently. This means there is a good chance that over 6500 cards have been drawn by players, or 1084 packs.
Although Dotts has, in my opinion, been wildly successful already, I believe it will continue to grow. Two of the three biggest complaints that people have about it are being fixed sometime soon, and the third one isn’t even good, it’s probably just people who already buy the cards that want them to be cheaper. Additionally, with a new wave of cards on the way I believe we will see a new wave of buyers alongside it.
