I think this is a bad way to look at it. Behind every single bot is a very real player and that group has put millions of dollars collectively into this ecosystem over the years.
Matt I respectfully ask, where are those millions? I clearly do not see it inside our ecosystem:)
So I am going to guess that those millions are sold for cash. I rest my case.
A real human maybe, but not a real player.
If I let my chess software beat chess grandmasters that doesn't make me a chess player (maybe a good programmer, but in case I use the chess software of anybody else, I might not even be a programmer).
But fortunately, in every successful game software is strictly separated from human competition.
I agree 100%
I don't think there there is any doubt about that point. We can all agree on that.
I am always arguing about the earnings and exploitation bit. If bots put in millions in the game they have taken their millions out and more. They were and are a net negative. How do we know? We know from price of the assets and our tokens and they don't lie.
I totally agree with you and am glad that at least one SPS whale has a medium to long term perspective for Splinterlands.
My curiosity after receiving yabpmatt's response is:
If those who use bots are so important to Splinterlands why the wild pass and why not allow bots in the Modern Format?
My idea is that Splinterlands continue to look at the short term and this I regret because Splinterlands is a beautiful game that has to look at growth in the medium to long term and bots in this growth cannot have the importance they have now...
I disagree with this heavily. we know nothing about this in that regard from just looking at prices of assets and tokens. This isn´t how it works at all :/
Show me how it works. Show me your millions ;)
Nice! Thanks for the invite to your group! Looking forward to this!
