RE: Gold Foil and Frustration

Yeah, things have become really difficult now. Similarly, I also haven't pulled a single legendary card either since the update. Even CL card packs rarely drop nowadays and it's been so long since I got one. And about bots, I have a complicated feeling about them. Without bots, match ups would take too long but at the same time, the really complicated bots makes winning very difficult. And as you've mentioned, they drained a lot from the game economy and are driving players away. That said I'm hoping that the devs won't wait till the tipping point before they do something as I felt that it would be too late to save the game by then.

I don't think you would wait that long without bots (and remember without bots your reward per battle win would 5-10x as the DEC pool would be shared between less population (E.G without bots suddenly Splinterlands goes from 500k accounts to probably less than 100k, we seen this in the early stages when the owning of cards rewards update came in brifely before the bot farmers figured out they would just rent out every card. The rewards suddenly sky rocketed while the bot farmers spent a week setting up auto renting for their 1000s of accounts). Anyways, you'd simply be matched to the next available ranked player which is great as it would mean you could rank up faster if you beat a much higher opponent instead of grinding out 15-20 points per win providing you were playing below your max capability but the slightly longer wait for a game would pay for itself in significantly higher returns.
Yeah, I guess compared to bots farming the reward pool, a bit of waiting wouldn't hurt. Thank you for the thorough explanation, I've learned a lot from it.
