RE: Starter Sets and Promo Codes
It’s a bit sad to see all the bots in the game. It happens with almost any game out there but it’s pretty glaring with Splinterlands. Still love the game but it’s a bit annoying when I lose a battle and find out it’s a bot that I just battled.
looks like you (and many others) don't understand that thanks to bots you can play at all. Because most players just do quests and not play any more leaving others without opponents. Especially if they don't want to risk losing ranking.
That’s actually very true, I didn’t think of it that way. You just changed my opinion of the bots. They do end up serving a pretty important purpose. It would be unfortunate if trying to start a match took minutes instead of seconds.
Now I really dislike when the bot owners are good at making the card selections lol. Some bots are easy to beat while others are very hard.
Not that I necessarily want to but how hard is it to start a bot? Do you use one? Don’t need to blow up your spot, so no names needed.
Player owned bots aren't needed.
Site owned bots that don't collect rewards would be much better for the ecosystem as a whole.
I agree but I'm not sure that a war on bots would work. I don't mind them harvesting cards and selling them for tiny amounts, as that means I can get them cheap, so it isn't all bad. It would be worse if they did the sensible thing, holding cards and pushing the prices up. Lucky they aren't clever bots :)
I suppose thats one way to look at it.
