I participated in the AMA in Discord yesterday where i found out that bots and smurfaccounts are totally OK.
TBH i felt like WTF at first but now i understand why..
I've always had problems with bots ruining games and contest i been involved in, as my brain goes tryhard 300% and i farm 4-ever until i drop... almost always beeing in the top but still loose in the end as bots take over and i ragequit.
When i first entered Splinterlands i yolo'd in the game and chosed cards without reading up, i also did this for about 16 hours straight until i noticed that my dec drop decreased and i feckin lost almost every match.
Maybe this is the best way.. let the feckers in and work out a way to fight against them instead.
Anyhow, im happy with the thinking of the devs, the guy who hold the AMA seems very serious and it sounds like he has a long experience with crypto, games and bots.
Do you own a smurfaccount? I'm thinking of buying one more just to get 1 more daily quest.
The devs have always been open towards bots and yet did all they could to make it less profitable for bots to run. I really like this approach and prefer it over any identification process.
i concur, just cross my thumbs AI bots doesn't take over.
