Dear Snailbrain & devs,

I know you are working hard to improve the experience, but I disagree on the bot issue.

Even though humans can currently overwhelm the bots, you should definitely fight them in the long run. It's completely insane that you can run a computer with bots and get your 'free' huntercoin, when a human player has to think, play and invest their time to play the game. It is very important that you run a healthy and sustainable ecosystem.

You can see it in other fields like gaming or poker, too. The big ones remaining are the companies which fight bots. There are always people who try to find the loop hole and build bots, but your goal should be to get rid of the non human players. It can't be too hard to implement a code verification or something like that.

Please think about it. I am sure, players will appreciate it as well and that the coin will benefit in the long run due to this decision.

Sincerely

Scrooge D

I don't think it would be a bad thing to add caphe after ever 10 moves or something... Some way to make it more difficult.

I agree. This is the #1 advantage of bots. It's not strategy. It's the fact that they are running 24/7 for you. A human person can't sit here and micromanage his hunters all day long. I usually only check on them twice a day, which means usually half my hunters die by the time I get home. Bots don't have that problem and it is a huge advantage. It's not about strategy, it's about normal players not having the time to constantly move their hunters to gather coins and go back to base before being killed.
