RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Update Terms of Service To Prohibit Bot Use In Tourneys, & Brawls

What I don't understand is people have so many choices of what to do with their $ and crypto. There are sooooo many options that give good returns but instead they come into this game and ruin it for everyone else by botting it and using battle helpers.

I think its because they can. :)
Honestly, this exact point is what leaves me a bit sad but for the opposite reason.
One of the things I fell in love with about the Splinterlands project is that @yabapmatt and @aggroed laid out a very interesting and exciting plan to create a game where botting wasn't policed but rather the game design and incentives were designed to create a result where bots didn't have an advantage.
I loved the idea of that challenge and the creativity that building something like that would bring.
What you're describing @aironeous is the reality everywhere else. All other games policing botting in a top down approach.
Splinterlands was one of the only ones I heard of that was doing it differently.
So it makes me sad to see that the community has lost belief in that vision and seems to have decided that botting and battle helpers are the cause of all problems (which I personally find unconvincing) and instead want to turn Splinterlands into the same thing that is offered everywhere else.
The world doesn't need another TCG, shoot, it doesn't even need another Crypto TCG - there are plenty.
Splinterlands was uniquely cool in that it was a Crypto TCG that was truly trying to align with the Crypto ethos of "Truth in Code" - So it's sad to me to see the community give up on that so readily because of FUD from a bear market mostly.
But - to each their own.
It is very cool that Splinterland's fate is decided by the players through stake weight voting - so ultimately, it will go in the direction that the player base pulls it. That part is still pretty unique, cool, and special for sure.
