This sounds like it could get really technical from a legal perspective!
I'm speculating, but I'm guessing that Splinterlands has blocked bots with the move to Hive - hence this is about 'use' of tokens - the assets are secure on the chain, at least the record, but I guess the Splinterlands team can block certain accounts from playing in certain ways?
Surely Bot operators wouldn't just sell-off if they could just carry on milking?
All speculation on my part, and 'grey' from a legal perspective for sure, if that's the case.
SL never blocked bots! They introduced some measures against extensive milking but they have always been treated like real players.
I was wondering, I just heard something about some bot accounts having difficulty accessing Splinterlands through Hive.
I was unsure.
It's a tough one, I guess if you sell someone a 'decentralised token' they expect to be able to interact with it with total freedom!
Nah, that was a made up story, off course the bots have to be recoded a bit with the change from Steem to Hive but only a few lines of code to be changed, no issue.
And if they want true NFT, it is possible by moving them to Ethereum or Wax
The real issue is that you have to keep "investing" in this game to stay on top. If your initial investment is half a million dollars like j6969, it is an expensive joke to stay leveled

It strikes me as quite a sad way to make money - far better to Power up Hive and at least help people out with upvotes and earn curation, albeit a lesser return, rather than being an irritation to so many who play the game by running a bot network.
If you're going to invest at least play the damn game!
What a crap use of decent coding skills, honestly.
Hopefully those who are selling will find something more useful/ constructive/ harmonious to do with that money, and their skills.
Isn't keeping people investing all part of an 'effective business plan'? In a way that's the game I enjoy playing more than the actual game - trying to level up for as cheaply as possible and be an economic winner.
I wonder where they prices will level out at - they are coming down quite fast!
it seems it takes us great discipline to stop trying to level up our deck...
I think you have the gist of it! It was important to us to present this in a balanced way.
It was a nice balanced account, thanks!
