I read this quickly before getting up and brought it up when youngest was telling me about his latest Splinterlands plans and adventures. We ended up talking about it for ages before he was finally called in 😆
He’s slightly miffed at the amount he’s going to need to get back to whatever league he’s in but so far thinks the changes would be good to dissuade bots and stuff.
It doesn’t really bother me either way as I’m still forgetting to play dailies sometimes 😅
I pretty much just play dailies, but the addiction must be strong, because I rarely miss them! 😅
The bots have the potential to be a good thing, if not abused. I think most of the games I play are against bots, so I'd be doing a lot of waiting around if there were none there. I gather they are the accounts that are sitting in high leagues with the low level cards, though. Enough of them battling each other on occasion gets them there, but you wouldn't want to be playing that many losing games yourself. I just hope they don't level them all up collection wise and end up leaving the lower leagues empty with no-one to play with.
The bots aren't terrible as far as finding matches is concerned, only when they do smart things like chuck nonsensical cards in places that don't make sense XD
I guess they're good educational tools as well in that regard but they make the game go by too quickly and I don't have time to work while watching ;D
I try working who're playing, then realise I've only cooked half the dinner...
