To all those bitching about bots: I HATE bots as much as the next guy, but it's a balancing act. You want the value of your assets to dump precipitously, go ahead and ban all bots right now. That would be completely stupid. The right strategy is to squeeze them out through attrition. You build corners of the game with human verification (kyc tournaments), and you introduce aspects of game play (land, spell items, etc.) that make operating bots less and less profitable. Now maybe they wouldn't publicly admit that this is the strategy, but it would definitely appear that this is the direction they are headed. i.e. as the game gets more complex, the more human you are, the more rewards you get for participating. As someone with zero bots and a lot invested in the game, this would be my expectation on the way forward. That is, to make running bots less attractive and less lucrative over time.

Agree. I dislike bots myself but they are a necessary evil. So we just need to squeeze them hard and de incentivize them as you mentioned. I think the gamemakers agree with this view and they are doing the right thing.
I appreciate the reply. It's just amazing that some would consider outright blocking people from using their assets considering where it is we exist.
Those people have no idea about the economy of the game. Thankfully our gamemakers do. So I think we are in good hands. We just need to voice our opinion so as to make our thinking visible and support the game.
