I agree that this is an issue and not something I'd considered.
I do like the idea of creating some kind of reward each week for top performing players and think it has the potential to increase community engagement.
But I also think it should be going to players and not accounts who've achieved that top performance from running a bot.
Unfortunately I don't see a way that we could differentiate the two, but maybe we can come up with another way to reward the top players.
I already have a couple ideas that I'll discuss with star and see what we can work out for future posts.
