I would like to explain why Splinterlands should ban all bots and remove measures (at least for the first month for each new account) that were introduced to reduce the damage caused by bots.
because the system, buy a spellbook and start playing and earning is great for new players and healthy growth.
the player only needs to buy a spellbook and can start playing right away. so good for the new player experience.
to read for hours in guides what kind of cards you have to rent before you can even start playing and earning. honestly, no one wants to do that who just wanted to play relaxed.coming across more paywalls after buying the spellbook, arouses a lot of distrust and people think they are being ripped off.
Now many will say: but then too many people come only to suck.
yes that's true, but every new Human is also a potential new player who becomes a depositor.
that's great it's kind of like a free trial.
which without bots leads to a healthy ratio between people who will only suck at the bottom and players who will get the desire to move up and start investing in the game.
the ratio was unfortunately destroyed by bots because a botfarm that simply adds 500k bots is 0 new potential customers.
without bots this would be a great way to build trust.
I would like to mention an example from my life.
what you can transfer to it.
when i was looking for a new protein powder, a friend mentioned a store that i should check out, you can simply order free samples of your choice.
many would think now, that is yet full stupid many order only the samples, and the business makes losses.
but that's not true, because a lot of people become customers after the free samples.
because the psychological effect alone, that a store sends you samples without any problems, gives you the feeling: wow, this product must be really good, the salesman seems to be really convinced.
because of this psychological effect alone, you are already 90% convinced of the product without having tried it, so the taste must be really terrible in the end to fall through.
in addition, the seller has never in his life had to spend advertising for marketing. because he grows naturally because people recommend him and because of this easy access to free samples, because he has already strengthened the confidence of the customer before he has even tested the product!!!!
thank you for your attention!😻
