This post is more of a rant than anything useful and it has to do with bots being using in playing Splinterlands. Over the years bots have evolved and developed to play much better and Splinterlands as a whole have been accepting this with open arms. Yet there were some points in time where it was clear bots were taking advantage of the rewards system and the developers were putting up counter measures.
I am at a point in my life where its difficult to put in 25 battles a day consistently while doing daily posts and above all having a personal life. There were certain parts of the past three years I have been playing Splinterlands where certain times I went with using a bot. The advantage was I went on earning a steady income without having to always be playing. Of course that came with some drawbacks but the bottom line was if I went without playing it meant I was not earning at my max potential.
As the bots became better tuned in play mode it has become apparent to me that I maybe better off running my account through a bot than playing on my own. I have encounter matches where seemingly I should win when my opponent had used a level 1 summoner but I came out on the short end. Although this may not be because I was facing a bot but some battle formations being similar or identical in several rounds of play I can only ponder the fact that either same group of players where playing or a bot.
Through recent weeks I have heard a lot more news regarding the dislike of bots from not only players but even some developers. There have been more plans to curb the bot activities or at least slow down their activities.
So I have a fine line to cut here. I either start having a more balanced life by letting a bot to play my account, let someone else play my account, or simply not play at all and rent out all my cards. The second option is likely my least favorite as I do not have a full gold league deck to accommodate top players and I don't want to have to split a 50/50 in earnings. The first choice is something I have thought about since it worked fine in the past even though temporary. I think for now I will take a deeper dive into the options but I am truly leaning toward the use of bots since they perform better and less in cost than paying out a player.
Until next time thanks for reading!!!
