don't get me wrong, I do mean that bots are bad and I actually enjoy the game more since BOTS and BHs are banned. But under the assumption that BOT has 5k USD worth of cards it is worth the same to the economy as a player that has 5k USD worth of cards. If you do a comparison like that then BOT == normal player.
BOTs are banned because they have an unfair advantage over a human player because they can access thousands of battles and based on that BOTs can play more optimized teams. There is no difference between a BOT and a human player in the economy if both invest in the cards, SPS, and so on...
And you can't ban all bots because you can always make a BOT that will go on a website and simulate clicking like a real user.
KYC...uhh well I have 5 accounts. If that means I could play on only one...then I am against it. Maybe if we could say that one user could own like 10 accounts or something like that I would be for that. But in that case, you can always register more accounts on your family members.....
But as I said already....everything is good so long accounts that play SPL invest in SPL assets, even if we are talking about renting.
as i said, as soon as you allow bots. the botfarms come too. and these few ``good'' bots can never compensate for what the botfarms suck, because they adjust the number of accounts at will so that there is no more profit. if 5 good bots pay in, botfarmxxx just adds 500 accounts to suck that away, that's just a fight you can't win, which the paying bots can never compensate. so as i said there are only 2 solutions, either you ban all bots or you introduce kyc. because otherwise you always have the botfarms with you. you have to decide for one solution of both even if both don't taste good.....
from a gameplay point of view the complete bot ban would be optimal. but if you don't want that then you at least have to introduce kyc to at least protect the ecosystem.
