Being a non-gamer, I’m surprised I enjoy playing the game. Having said that, I do feel the same as some others that decreasing the quantity of reward cards for the smaller accounts is not the solution. A bot won’t care if it’s 8 or 10 cards being rewarded but for real players, some simply won’t be able to jump that gap from gold to diamond because they have to compete against the life bots. Many of these small accts won’t be able to buy a level 3 life deck to beat the bots there. The game will no longer be enjoyable for most.
I don’t know the solution myself. The bots do make the gameplay experience less enjoyable and I would rather that get addressed than taking reward cards from real players, especially for the smaller accounts.
I wish all the mavericks were like you @beeyou, this game would be amazing!
You are a bigger investor in the game than me @davemccoy!
I did read your comment above and let me just say, wowzer, when you unleash, you unleash! I know that you only have the game and the smaller accounts' interests at heart. I've been impressed with a lot of the strategy and course of action taken by SM. Let's hope we will continue to see more impressive moves, and ideally, that would be to tackle the bots. We need more players to give the game a try and changes in the season rewards will hurt the small accts more so than established players.
I agree with your last point... and I too have been impressed with many things done by SM.
ps... Its tough to figure out how to help sometimes. In this case I didn't feel that letting it go is appropriate as it will lead to more loss of players (you know as you see the decks being given back for lack of interest). So if I have to be the bad guy by telling people things they don't want to hear, then it is ok. I'm too old to worry about what people think of me anymore!
It won't be life bots that will be the problem at the lower levels soon. Get ready for the earth onslaught. Earth will crush life at the lower levels now:)
