the blockchain is public...all your transactions, all your cards, all your coins...your wallet contents, your game assets...all these exist on a public ledger...
and wrong? 'very wrong'? as in morally wrong? ethically wrong? or just you don't like it 'wrong'? Exploits might be...but botting is allowed within the ToS...so if it's allowed, and not illegal, then how is it 'very wrong'?
and the solution is simple...just disable API access to the 'ongoing matches' endpoint during battles. pretty sure there's a light switch that can just shut that shit down

The Terms of Service agreement is not a substitute for your own personal ethically responsibility to not do wrong things to other people. Your argument is a backwards criminal logic argument.
The ToS is not your Daddy/Mommy (by the word "your" I mean everyone playing this game).
Morals are not senior to ethics. Morals - The rules, codes of conduct and laws of a society or group come from ethics.
It is funny that even dictionary dot com gets this wrong and defines it backwards and defines ethics as morals. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the woke movement or for the purposes of internet brevity.
When I was young and forced to study everything in very large books of dictionaries and encyclopedias it was clear morals are derived from ethics.
Ethics is a much larger subject - the study of right and wrong. A law or rule can be unjust, oppressive or outdated and so it is unethical or unnecessary to follow or enforce it.
There are tons of movies, books, tv shows and stories explaining this.
Just because there is no law against it does not make it not an evil act or what most people would characterize or describe as a criminal act.
I can walk down the street right now in the morning and stomp a frog I see on the sidewalk flat because there is no law against it but what does that make me? There was no reason for me to do that.
Splinterlands is not obligated to write an encyclopedia of every single way you can possibly cheat and exploit the game and if they didn't think of the one way you found to cheat the game "then it is OK."
That is not how ethics and personal responsibility works.
Everything you said ^ right there was an attempt to lie to yourself and others in order to justify doing wrong things to others.
The blockchain being public is not an excuse or valid reason for unethical behavior.
