I do get that bots trash a game and honestly they should have been kicked out asap from the start.

Completely agree with you my friends and without bots everything would be easier in long term perspective.

I always play in wild and never modern because I don't want to have to keep buying brand new decks all the time when I've invested thousands in over the years.

your reasoning is right and logical and highlights an important problem that Splinterlands should solve

Wild pass makes sense but what worries me is the continue loss of value of early edition cards = disincentive to buy cards and future packs of cards...
