Web3 gaming has a big farming problem... and it's no surprise most Web3 games are failing. Too many questing platforms, engagement groups, collabs, bots, all built to farm artificial engagement. Why? Most participants entering Web3 are being onboarded through content promoting P2E and InfoFi, so engage to earn has become the norm. Now we have hundreds of guilds who don't even game, all focused on engagement farming their community for collabs and sponsorships. So of course, the "web3 gamers" are going to join the communities and play the games that reward the most. Max rewards, minimal loyalty. I could 2–3x my engagement by rewarding farmers, but I’m not here for that. I reward real participation from people who genuinely want to play with us and contribute to our community and regularly ban famers. Support the builders, not the extractors. Reward growth, not farming.
