Bringing new people into the ecosystem.
Kicking the bots out once and for all.

Oh.. I am with you on these points. I use BOT's, but if they went tomorrow I would very happy.The second stage of selecting monsters, and abilities may prove more troublesome for them, at least short term.

New people is a MUST. The base is dying, and full of hard core veterans (like me). I would prefer otherwise. The game I find stressful to play. I think it's the time limit, I don't do well under pressure.

What's above is from a land perspective. This is a whole new arena, that won't give out a lot short-term. It is a lot of fun though, and Splinterlands lacks that.
