I am with you on the bots being ruled... I have proposed that they create an "authorized bot program". This way they can create rules for the bots that both reward them properly and also keep them from doing abusive behavior. While I'm sure many will say that people will cheat, I'm sure they can figure out who follows the rules and registers and who doesn't. Plus if they made the rewards good for the bot makers, then they would have incentive to play nice. (ex a silver level bot plays in the silver level and has a certain size deck) On your second point, that is the point I have been making since the bots arrived on the scene. I think you are right, but the devs don't have as much fear as you or I do. The bottom line is they know my opinion on the subject and its time for me to accept they have made their decision. I do think they will work to keep the bots in line (like the new DEC based system), but how well that succeeds will depend on its implementation. They have hopes for it succeeding, and I'm sure we all hope they do it right!

I don't know what devs fear or not but I can't understand that they don't care about opinions of respected players like you or others that already have leaved the game. I'm starting to think that they've won enough money from it and that don't care if is sustainable or not, this, or they simply think that can hold their bussiness with the bot owners, sacrifying the rest of manual players. The last genius proposal to stop the bots from ravaging the pool has been commented by j6969 to the team. And consist in making a separation of leagues taking in count the DEC of the user. Is supposed to avoid the exploit the low level bots, but imo is absurd because the main problem are the high levelled bots that win a lot of tournaments and that are a plague in the top100. And yes you're right I hope that they will do right. Have a nice day Dave, I really appreciate your honesty for writing this article and for your nice answer.

Thank you for both the replies and your honesty too @palasatenea! And I think they care if its sustainable, but not sure they have their minds around all the complicated issues. Its one thing to make an amazing game (which is not easy by itself), but to build a company around it from scratch takes a lot of learning too. I do hope they get it right and I'm optimistic they will too :D
