If you don't have time, why did you choose xbot instead of Archmage?
Reasons:
I bought the token at $50 and ArchmageA token was higher at that time and has fees. I need to focus mostly on my on-field work and my next goal of getting engaged that will limit my time and energy playing the game. By these, it pushed me to try automated services. Just like you, I use XBot when I'm really busy. I still do manual battles but not like before where I can drain my ECR below 0 over and over again. Using battle helpers in Ranked is pointless because it very expensive and does not justify the DEC required versus the SPS gained per battle win. I also rent most of the cards for grinding. I do hope SPL does have an option in their practice mode to try custom battles with complete cards.
I still consider myself as a real gamer. I really like the game which I wished that I have discovered it in 2018. When I was new to the game, whenever I won against players with titles and top players, I feel so happy. I'm sorry if you felt cheated. I felt cheated too before. I get your frustration and I am frustrated too. If I have my opinion, I want the battle to be interactive and disable battle helpers in modern during the implementation of no bots modern. I also want to have a PVE mode where players can only gain their focus/season points in PVE mode. PVP/Ranked Mode will be just for leaderboards which only gives/takes ratings.
Again, I am really looking forward to no bots modern format. I want to get to feel that excitement of battling and beating top human players again. I don't care if I will not be able to reach leaderboards, I just want to play the game normally with fellow humans. Also, I hope SPL tournaments should add the no battle helper tag in their tournaments to disable it.
Thank you for the response! I still do respect you as a player and a great contributor in this community and game. You and Ueyuey was my go-to-guide in Silver League when I was just started playing the game.
Much love.
