I don't really like botting myself. I have this mindset that we should see the game as a fun experience.
But obviously the games success is brought by the monetary value of the assets, so obviously we are all thinking about money when playing the game.
I would love to try botting, but not do it for a long period of time.
I currently play manually with my 5 decks, and I manage quite nicely (at least to complete the quests)
Thanks for this post, it was definetaly interesting read :)
I'm glad you are open to try botting. It is so easy, all you have to do is sit back with a beer or two and watch that money flow in! Yeah, splinterlands is about that money, got to get as much as we can as fast as we can!
5 decks is pretty solid for a human to manage, but if you ever need some time off, or you know just want to make that money 24/7 the free open sourced bots might be useful.
Also you might find that you are just making too much money and playing on your own just becomes too risky, can't lose that income. If so the game that is build for fun, not money, might be for you. I think most people in the community will love both games.
Thanks so much for making a reply, I always love to hear feedback!
