I agree with this post! It's not so much the unfairness of bots, because they are beatable as are players of lesser skill level. It's the sheer number of games they play depletes the reward pool and reduces the amount of DEC earned each match for ZERO effort of the owner of the bot. THAT is an advantage, and why would they not duplicate the bots to an infinite level? It's free money.
The solution is simple. Just put a Captia on the battle loading screen that has to be solved before you can select your team. Yeah, it will suck to spend the 5 seconds to complete it, but it won't suck as much as the effect of the BOTZERG that has been eating the newer player base.
Thanks for the reply, it means a lot. Which splinter would you like for your delegation?
I actually suggested using a captha in the link provided to my previous article here. Thhe Captcha solution has been suggested numerous times by various people in the feedback section and is met by a plethora of downvotes each time despite most people being for it in most discords etc. (weird?). My open source botting proposal is 615 but I'm sure Captchas are also back up there somewhere too as the idea is popular and supported. Go to feedback.splinterlands.com and check it out.
Keep Summoning and See You in the #Splinterlands
I always dabble in the Neutral for my favorite splinter, and I think it's the splinter that needs the most help. I'd like to see a Neutral summoner come out. And yes Captcha is unfavored due to the delay to solve, well that and no one likes captchas. There are other means but I'll just keep plodding through the botswamp I guess.
