it's honestly embarrassing that we even have to discuss this. splinterlands is a game.
but in recent years has introduced a lot of player hostile things to reduce the damage of the bots. which really means to protect bots so you do not have to ban them.
and now that it's about creating a free space for the players, suddenly there is a loud cry. because the bot could cry if he has to play in wild? or is it about greed and you are afraid that you could take less in the short term?
we take less because of all the bot protection measures!
as if bots aren't already a pretty big funkill for players, they're taking more and more of our fun away.
what has been introduced that is harmful to players because of bots?

1.ecr/energy limits the playtime extremely, so extremely player-hostile!

2.starter cards penalty, increases the paywall for new players extremely. so harmful to get new players.

3.the card level reward adjustment, restricts the skill. thus reduces the game fun!

i think i don't need to list all the other small changes. fact is, all player-damaging things to protect the bots!

and those who still play despite all these measures will have to deal with bots that play at professional level. wooow!

that's why you should be afraid for your profit. because a game introduces player-hostile things and not because you are no longer allowed to suck on the modern pool......
