The Collection-power-era is negative for getting large number of human players and only being source of frustration. It was written about it and explained in plenty before this era kicked in, and Splinterlands is only playing having deaf ears. The problem with bots is also falling on Splinterlands deaf ears.
@Khazrakh if you have 2 friends new to a game, you can encourage them sending challenge to each other. That way they will fast get experience about the cards they have for a battle.
Cheers!
