RE: Splinterlands: Will Ranked Battles Become the League of Bots?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I was considering bots up until a day or so ago and decided against it. While I wanted to use them because of time constraints, there's an old school gamer integrity I couldn't get past. If I were still gaming with PlayStation or XBOX, if I didn't have the time, then I simply couldn't play.

I would agree with you. But blockchain games come with associated rewards, and not playing means not earning them. At the same time, you lose ground compared to those who play, whether themselves or via automated options.
Absolutely, the rewards (in this case, real money) make all the difference. It's interesting how monetary incentive can change the dynamic of what's accepted vs what isn't. Non p2e games would almost certainly consider bot usage as cheating on some level. And that's no shade to anyone who uses bots, just a curious observation.
I am torn about bots. On one side, I like them as an option to play when I don't have time. On the other side, I believe they have an unfair advantage over humans and that becomes obvious the more time goes by and the better they become.
I feel you. It's a tough call.
