I really find it a bit depressing that so many people use bots to play a game. Sure, it is better than them, but do they hold the same attitude with who sleeps with their partner?
Completely agree with you
I have always considered bots a real and serious problem for Splinterlands.
Is there a game that has been successful because of bots?
No there isn't and this shows how wrong Splinterlands was to tolerate bots.
Fortunately at least in Modern Format anti-bots measures will be introduced and I hope this will be a first step towards the total elimination of bots from Splinterlands otherwise I don't see a good future for my favourite blockchain game.
I really liked your post and I'm glad we have the same line of thought on bots.

It is going to be interesting to see how they plan on identifying and combatting them. I also think that it might be worth buffing them some how. For example, in Brawls there are multipliers and additions like extra mana or +/1 speeds that the guilds get through building levels. Could this logic apply to bots too?
In the brawl I played 2-3 weeks ago, the guild that ranked first was called XBOT.
There are bots that are very efficient and also play in brawls and probably burn cards to receive DEC...
I too am curious to see what the anti-bots measures will be like but I think they will be measures that will prevent bots from entering the game like in other games so a bots will not be able to start a battle.
As there are efficient bots so there are many efficient solutions already used by many web 2.0 and web 3.0 games.
For example in a web 2.0 game my daughter plays there are bots but they are game company bots that only come into play when there are few players.
In my opinion there should be the same situation on Splinterlands:
