It is good to get this comment from a top FPS player. I wish you can say this to our Splinterlands players who chose to bot their account. It is a shame!

Well, I guess I have no right to judge, since I'm not invested in SL. Yet, I'd say that the bots may serve a purpose for public/normal matches. But when it comes to Ranked Modes or any other competitive category, then such bots should just be banned.
The same applies to any other genre as well, whether it be MOBA, RTS, Sports, whatever it may be, bots and anything that relies on AI is strictly prohibited. Anyone who is caught "cheating" never even gets a second chance. No matter how big of a "legit reputation" they may have built, even if they decide to use some soft hacks somewhere along the line, and then if they somehow get caught, then it all ends then and there.
Many legit and talented players have ruined their careers because they just couldn't stay away from the temptation of hacking their way towards the win, just to make some progress in their career.
It is not because you are not invested in SL. (which you can change anytime by the way)It is because you play multiple tripple A games and you are probably 90+ percentile in lot of them.
People were are blinded by ROI and have forgotten the spirit of the game is entertainment. To be better than the next player, to be immersed in the that world. Its sad that they don't get it!
All true dada, and I also want to change the state of not being invested in SL, gameplay wise. I've already talked to Zaku bhai. For now my younger brother seems to be interested, he would actually be a better candidate. He's way more talented and has the extra time to invest, so I plan on getting him into the game first. He's already been through a few SL 101s all by himself, just needs a bit more time I guess.
If anything, ROI should be the motivator that motivates us to actually up our own game even more; invest more time, get better, learn a new skill or tactic. The games I play and compete in, most of the time I don't even get paid, but I still work on myself and my skillset whenever I get the chance. A big tournament and prize in my eyes is the perfect "excuse" to up my game, while also making some money on the side haha.
Sadly, these bots, AI assisted mechanics and cheats are becoming way more common day by day. These big titles and games do have anti-cheats, but they only work 50 to 60 percent of the time.
Also, thanks to the millions of $ that's flowing into the streaming/gaming industry recently, most of the streamers/pro players nowadays are relying on soft hacks for more "better" content. Some even go as far as using these hacks in home based tournaments, to take home the big cash prizes. Fortunately, many communities, big studios and devs are working tirelessly to battle such abusers, so there is still some hope.
That is for not blockchain gamers. As your ROI is typically always negative :)
Zaku is a good and influential person in SL. He is definitely an OG and knows in and out of the game and the market better than I do. If you or your brother, whoevers starts, they will start at a much better level to begin with.
I guess so dada, I guess so, it applies to any P2E game I guess, a whole different scenario compared to other genres.
Yess, we'll definitely have a head start, working on it for now.
