[ENG/PT-BR] Change has arrived: bots only in wild mode, are we safe?
Finally the big day came when bots were removed from ranked battles in Modern mode and were switched to Wild mode. Today, 07/25/2023, the end of expectation and wait in relation to this action of moving automated battles between the available modes is marked.
Well, the update has arrived, but, it's still a little unclear as to what it's done. Starting with the information I got by talking to the HiveBR guild members and the news I got, either on Hive or on other networks, let's go by parts to understand the context.
Starting with Splinterlands…
In the link https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/release-notes#2023-07-25 we have the update notes, where it is written that according to the approved proposal (and can be checked here Splinterlands will try to implement anti-bot measures in Modern format.) and we have there in the third topic a part referring to accept the new terms and conditions of services that appear the first time you log in and which in my case was right after the maintenance that took place.
Then, inside Splinterlands, a message box and a button to accept these terms appeared and I'm sorry, but I pressed OK and I didn't take the print to put it here.😄
Well, that's all that visually appeared to us players and with that, can we ask what was done? Was anything really changed? I believe that a little more detail was missing about the action taken, so that we can also help to “supervise” this change.
Was the change at the API level? I thought of something like that, but there was no lack of other ideas, as I imagined that something similar to the Golem Overlord login would be implemented, in a hypothesis that would add an extra step, but it was already something more visible for us to better understand what was actually implemented.
Now, on the side of xbot, one of the best known in the field…
In the link https://docs.xbot.app/1.0/changelog we also have the xbot update notes and after reading this information, the impression is that the developers respectfully decided to accept the change, as we can see in the image below.
So, talking with the closest players, we reached a consensus that it seems that it was the xbot that decided to follow the accepted proposal and not Splinterlands that did something, the so-called “antibot”. The impression is that they put the updated terms and that's it, what else happened?
So with that, we can imagine things wrong, like, for example: what if some xbot developer or anyone else still has a compiled version outside the main production line and uses the bot to play? Will he be stopped? Will he be banned? Will there be an alert? There are countless doubts that still remain in the air.
We still have to remember that there are Battle Helper running with everything out there, being a way to get help, of course in a more manual and time-consuming way, so even if all the bots we have available have gone to Wild mode, it is still possible to have a little help with these extensions, although proposals to remove these helpers from Modern mode will soon be put to the vote.
Yes my friends, these details seem to be far from reaching a true resolution… 😔
What can we think?
Just to remind you, this post is in no way meant to lightly attack or criticize any changes that have been made. I'm glad that finally the bots have been moved to Wild mode, with this, we may be able to get a better mood for the players who are now facing each other eye to eye.
The feeling I have is that there is a taste that we want more, that is, more changes, more security, more guarantees that nothing will be circumvented and certainly the most urgent thing: more fun! May changes be made that please everyone, that bring true overall change to Splinterlands.
Finally, a very interesting suggestion made by @lordflu would be to have 3 more ways to add more checks so we can play:
First, accounts to play in Modern mode should perform KYC (Know Your Customer) mandatory.
After a certain way and within the possibilities, create some kind of algorithm that would analyze the teams of the profiles who have many consecutive victories, to see if the lineups are only the so-called perfect teams.
- The third and final action could be a button to report profiles suspected of using a bot, as soon as a match is over, something that countless other games already have.
All these actions are very interesting ideas and I believe that they can indeed be implementation options for the future, in case it is still necessary to add more validations when playing. For now, the first step has been taken and now it's time to enjoy and hope for more news over time.
And in your opinion? Have you felt any difference? Is it easier or harder to play? Leave your opinion in the comments!
Thank you all so much and see you next time!
Finalmente chegou o grande o dia em que os bots foram removidos das batalhas ranqueadas do modo Modern e foram mudados para o modo Wild. Hoje, 25/07/2023, fica marcado o fim da expectativa e espera em relação a essa ação da movimentação das batalhas automatizadas entre os modos disponíveis.
Bem, a atualização chegou, mas, ainda ficou um pouco obscuro sobre o que foi feito. Começando pelas informações que obtive conversando com os membros da guilda HiveBR e pelas notícias que obtive, seja na hive ou por outras redes, vamos por partes para entender o contexto.
Começando pelo Splinterlands…
No link https://docs.splinterlands.com/platform/release-notes#2023-07-25 temos as notas da atualização, onde está escrito que conforme a proposta aprovada (e pode ser conferida aqui Splinterlands will try to implement anti-bot measures in Modern format.) e temos ali no terceiro tópico uma parte referente a aceitar os novos termos e condições de serviços que aparecem na primeira vez em que você faz o login e que no meu caso foi logo após a manutenção que ocorreu.
Então, dentro do Splinterlands, apareceu uma caixa de mensagem e um botão para aceitar esses termos e me desculpem, mas apertei OK e não tirei o print para colocar aqui.😄
Bem, foi só isso que visualmente apareceu para nós jogadores e com isso, podemos questionar sobre o que foi feito? Algo foi realmente mudado? Acredito que ficou faltando um pouco mais de detalhes sobre a ação tomada, para que assim possamos também auxiliar a “fiscalizar” essa alteração.
A alteração foi ao nível API? Pensei em algo desse tipo, mas outras ideias não faltaram, pois imaginei que algo parecido com o login do Golem Overlord seria implementado, em uma hipótese que acrescentaria um passo a mais, mas já era algo mais visível para entendermos melhor o que de fato foi implementado.
Agora, pelo lado do xbot, um dos mais conhecidos do meio…
No link https://docs.xbot.app/1.0/changelog temos também as notas de atualização do xbot e após ler essas informações, fica a impressão que os desenvolvedores, respeitosamente, decidiram acatar a alteração, como podemos observar na imagem abaixo.
Então, conversando com os jogadores mais próximos, entramos em um consenso de que parece que foi o xbot que decidiu acompanhar a proposta aceita e não o Splinterlands que fez algo, o chamado “antibot”. A impressão é que colocaram os termos atualizados e pronto, o que mais aconteceu?
Então com isso, podemos imaginar coisas erradas, como, por exemplo: e se algum desenvolvedor do xbot ou qualquer outro que seja ainda tiver uma versão compilada fora da linha principal de produção e utilizar o bot para jogar? Ele será barrado? Ele será banido? Será realizado algum alerta? São inúmeras dúvidas que ainda ficam no ar.
Ainda temos que lembrar que existem os Battle Helper rodando com tudo por aí, sendo uma forma de ter ajuda, claro que de forma mais manual e demorada, então mesmo que todos os bots de todos os que temos disponíveis foram para o modo Wild, ainda é possível ter uma ajudinha com essas extensões, apesar de que propostas para remover esses ajudantes do modo Modern em breve serão colocadas em votação.
É meus amigos, esses detalhes parecem que continuam longe de chegar a uma verdadeira resolução… 😔
O que podemos pensar?
Apenas para lembrar, essa postagem em nenhum momento é uma forma de atacar ou criticar levianamente qualquer alteração que foi feita. Fico feliz de que finalmente os bots tenham sido movidos para o modo Wild, com isso, pode ser que consigamos um melhor ânimo para os jogadores que agora se enfrentam olho no olho.
A sensação que tenho é que ficou um gostinho de que queremos mais, ou seja, mais alterações, mais segurança, mais garantias de que nada será burlado e com certeza o mais urgente: mais diversão! Que seja feita alterações que agradem a todos, que tragam uma verdadeira mudança geral para o Splinterlands.
Para finalizar, uma sugestão bem interessante feita pelo @lordflu seria ter mais 3 meios de colocar mais verificações para podermos jogar:
- Primeiro seria que as contas para jogar no modo Modern deveriam realizar o KYC (Know Your Customer) de forma obrigatória.
- Depois de certa forma e dentro das possibilidades, criar algum tipo de algoritmo que analisaria os times dos perfis quem tem muitas vitórias consecutivas, para ver se as escalações são apenas dos chamados times perfeitos.
- A terceira e ultima ação, poderia ser um botão para denunciar os perfis com suspeita de uso de bot, assim que uma partida terminasse, coisa que inúmeros outros jogos já possuem.
Todas essas ações são ideias bem interessantes e acredito que podem, sim, ser opções de implementação para um futuro, caso, ainda seja necessário colocar mais validações na hora de jogar. Por enquanto, o primeiro passo foi dado e agora é aproveitar e torcer para mais novidades com o decorrer do tempo.
E na opinião de vocês? Já sentiram alguma diferença? Está mais fácil ou mais difícil jogar? Deixa nos comentários a sua opinião!
Muito obrigado a todos e até a próxima!

Probably a good move, although we could certainly see some bot farms selling out now, so keep an eye on card prices. Land release also had the Splinterlands community in a buzz!

I'll keep an eye on the cards now, as I had frozen the purchase of cards because of the bots, now that the modern game is theoretically only with humans, the excitement in getting more cards has certainly increased and I'm already getting ready to start acquiring some more!
