Your experiment is really interesting, I have read parts 1 and 2 and from now on I am following you because I am very curious to see who will win between bots and humans.
archmage and xbot are really well made products and I have nothing against those who use bots and those who create them because they have always been allowed by Splinterlands but seeing the win rates of bots made me realise even more how wrong Splinterlands was to tolerate them.
There is no web 2.0 game that has been successful thanks to bots and there is no game that can be called a game if bots are superior to real players.
Luckily the modern league will be free bots otherwise Splinterlands would have had no chance to survive in the long run and if this is coming from a player like me who has always loved Splinterlands and played it for pure enjoyment you can make your own conclusions...
