I would love for there to be something done about the bot accounts and farming season end rewards. A LOT of the accounts that are in the top ranks for all of the leaderboards are bot accounts. I think that's unacceptable, given that they are already farming thousands of DEC a day, now we are paying them anywhere between 2-100 packs in addition? I think they are an important piece of keeping the game operational but when I see lots of the opponents I have faced that are clearly a bot account (low DEC rewards per win, anywhere between 1-10 DEC when I am making 40-50 DEC per win) and knocking real human players out of the running for the packs, that's pretty ridiculous.

The season end leader rankings should take into account the persons DEC recharge rate. I have been thinking about an acceptable range but I think over 60% DEC recharge rate should be counted. Anything below 60% DEC rate would be exempt from receiving packs in the end bonus. I felt I was doing good on the rankings but then I saw that I wasn't even in the top 100 for my leaderboard because of the litany of bots littered all over the place. I don't know how that will work when writing a script to discover that information but it's getting out of hand, how we are being pushed lower as far as our ability to make rewards playing the game.

I get the necessary changes and the need for them but when a game favors bots and those that pay to win so heavily, you can definitely expect lots of people to not be excited at all about the game if they've invested in it. You need to help out the real, human players.

Another gripe I have with the lower rankings like bronze and silver is them getting almost no rewards for grinding an hour or more to complete a daily quest to be rewarded with a single potion. Bronze and silver league should be limited to either DEC as a reward (minimum of 50 DEC, maximum of 1000 since the chest quantity is so low) or a reward card. No potions at all. You need to make money, I get it but you also need to make it attractive for new players to want to play the game. I've recruited some new players in my guild and 3 of them have quit since the update because the rewards are utter trash and all they fight are really hard bots, struggle for an hour only to get an alchemy potion as a reward? I don't blame them at all for quitting.
