Even in the negative bot farm scenario you painted, it would still be good for the player base and overall economy. I'm bot-friendly, but see bot farms as exploitative given how much value they extract from the economy which is never put back in.

It feels difficult to fully wrap my head around the new rewards system given its complexity. A lot of speculation about ECR and optimal amount of games played to capitalize.

Regardless, I'm excited and will enjoy the ride wherever it takes us.

On another note, have you considered streaming or creating video content? Would you send me a message on Discord globalwarming and we can start a conversation. I think you've got a lot of great insights/knowledge to share... time permitting of course.
