As a player with an XBOT token now, I agree with your sentiments and many others as well. I have been playing for almost 2 years now. The player DNA in me was really frustrated for a long time facing bot farms and private bots -- draining the rewards intended for real players.

I WAS manually playing my account and really love every battle I face. I was playing in Diamond to Champion League before. I saved battle replays to look into it in the future. I moved down to silver since the soul-bound reward cards update because it was not sustainable for me as a renter to play at the higher league without liquid rewards.

The time I got the token is when I was so really busy with life that I don't have the energy or time to play anymore and will choose to rest whenever I got home. I still manually play on weekends but not too much. I use to play for loooooong hours until my energy runs dry. (Good ol' ECR days! <3 ) I have been building my modern silver deck constantly even if it takes me longer to complete it. I am really looking forward to NO BOTS MODERN update. I want to play on that format. I love this game and really want to match with real players that I really look up into. I just don't have any idea when will this be implemented. I hope soon.
