Hey Bloodofking, glad you stopped by and gave your thoughts.
If the game doesn't have enough active players to maintain an acceptable level of matches then its BECAUSE OF BOTS. I have been here since the beginning and we had a game with acceptable levels of matches for a long time when we were much smaller. So if the bots made people stop playing and just botting, then I think its definitely time to reverse that situation.
As for you leaving, I don't know if you realize it but 1/2 the rewards for ranked go to the Wild Format with is for ALL PLAYERS. And you can bot that all day every day. That's the point, you can play either manually or via bot, but now it will have segregation and clarification of where people can do either.
Finally I'm very happy to see you are in favor of banning bots in tourneys and clan battles. While we might disagree in your mind, I don't think we are very far apart at all in reality. I want you to play and earn in ranked when you need to use a bot. I also want you to have a "choice" to play manually against other players that want to play manually as well.
Again thanks for your comments and opinions, and even though they were a bit harsh, I do appreciate letting the community know your point of view!!!
I can't understand why players consider bots to be a problem, think friend. what governs this game are strategies, combination of cards, observation of the opponent's previous battles, mastery over the random variables of each match, if you don't observe these things it's what makes you lose not your opponent, what bothers you is that the bot doesn't forget to notice it, besides, we all know that we only improve playing with better opponents, we only improve when we look at new strategies, we only improve when we see something that we wouldn't make happen alone. Therefore, bots are liquidity tools for games and moves, which results in player improvement, I learn from bots and use them when my work does not allow playing, that is, banning bots is a disservice to the ecosystem, without It's actually a really palpable improvement.
