This is a really honest commentary from an experienced player that has expressed so many thoughts and feelings on how the patterns of game modernization and mechanics are hostile to card owners or investors but still finds a sympathetic spot for the guardians of the game. I don't think anyone wants to see the project fail.

As players get tired of mouse clicking some will look to AI to continue extracting whatever rewards are on offer. Others will dump their cards on the market and leave the game. There will reach a time that most people will need to take a break or move on. It is interesting how these paid up players that continue with AI get categorized as bots and enemies of the game. Sometimes these players have invested thousands into the game but just the same get bundled together with bot farmers who are an entirely different category.

Sometimes I wonder from a purely business perspective if once players stop buying packs or cards they are viewed no longer as extractable by SPL and not as investors and as such expendable. If they did have this view then I can see some synergy between the anti-bot movement and SPL management.

I really am interested to see the expanded plans on building the player base because the future of the game lies in being able to expand the number of real players much faster than the attrition rate. If we had a thriving growing community there would be much less fighting over the ever diminishing rewards and less focus on bots as the economy would be so much more healthy.
