What’s the significance: The news highlights the potential of Play-to-airdrop (P2A) games, where gaming expenses turn to substantial earnings, showcasing how web3 gaming can be financially rewarding for dedicated players.
The Big Picture: Shanks’ experience highlights the growing trend in web3 gaming, where P2A models enable gamers to turn in-game investments into real financial rewards, reflecting the broader shift towards decentralized, monetized gaming experiences.
Key details:
Shanks’ participation in the recent Guild Advancement Program (GAP) Season 6. His spending breakdown includes:
- ₱700 for a 25 $YGG season pass
- ₱1,900 for Nine Chronicles + ₱370 for in-game purchases
- P₱1,160 for Guild of Guardians (GOG)
- ₱1,200 for Bullet League
- Note: To access and do the specific quests in the YGG website, one must have a premium season pass.

How it works: The YGG Guild Advancement Program rewards members for completing tasks and challenges within the YGG ecosystem, allowing them to level up their guild status and unlock exclusive rewards, in-game assets, and earning opportunities.
On the other hand, while Shanks praised YGG, he also raised concerns about the process.
Feedback: Google Forms being glitchy due to high submissions
- Suggestions for digital footprinting, IP analysis, and device intelligence to prevent multi-accounting
- The need for quest tracking and easier reward claims in future seasons
Key quote:
“Lalaruin ko pa rin ba S7? Oo naman. Alam ko kasi na may reward talaga unlike sa ibang p2a, puro hangin walang laman.”
