My Modern Format Game Activity
+ In The Next Season I will Start Using a BOT in Wild Format for the First Time
I play on Splinterlands since September 2019, I have played over 37K battles without using bots because Splinterlands is a nice game with fun and structured gameplay and because I simply enjoy playing in the Modern Format where there are only human players like me.
I played in the Wild Format until bots were banned from the Modern Format.
Before bots were banned in the Modern Format I was gradually losing the motivation and desire to play because on Splinterlands bots are much more efficient than a human player.
**Would you enjoy playing a game of tennis alone against 2-3 tennis players?
Would you enjoy making love with a robot or would you prefer to do it with your girlfriend or wife?
I think these two questions clearly show why I do not enjoy playing against bots but only want to play against human players like me.
When bots were banned from the Modern Format I immediately chose to play manually only in the Modern Format and my enjoyment, which had gone almost to 0, returned to increase (fortunately).
Today I really enjoy playing manually in the Modern Format with human players like me.
When there are 2 days and 20 hours left until the end of the season I am in the Diamond II league and before the end of the season I will try:
- to arrive at least in Diamond I league
- to accumulate at least 150K Glint
I have a lot of fun playing in the Modern Format but I would feel almost “stupid” playing manually in the Wild Format because I wouldn't enjoy it one bit because the competition between human players and players using automatics in the Wild Format is very unbalanced in favor of the bots.
A picture is worth a thousand words and I challenge you to find a human player who doesn't use a bot rewarded in the Wild Format leaderboard.
By the way, Splinterlands and @yabapmatt are more interested in the management needs of those who use bots than in the gaming and entertainment needs of human players who do not use bots.
For example I really like to play manually in the Modern Format and I would like to use my Wild cards to play manually only against human players but I can't do that because:
- human players can only use cards from two sets of cards in the Modern Format
- those who use bots can use cards from all editions in the Wild Format.
In my opinion every present and future game mode on Splinterlands should always have an option to ensure first of all the enjoyment of human players who are the pillars of every web2 and web3 game that has gameplay but I notice that this is just my opinion and it is the opinion of few others...
In my card collection I have 116 cards = 2610 BCX that I can only use in the Wild Format.
Splinterlands does not give the possibility for human players to play competitively in the Wild Format and for this reason from next season I will also use a bot and go back to playing manage my old cards in the Wild Format which will be played by a bot.
So starting next season:
- I will be a player in the Modern Format and continue to play having fun as my main goal.
- I will be an investor in the Wild Format and manage my tokens and NFTs to achieve the only fun possible in an “idle games”: the profit
In choosing which bot to use in the Wild Format, I considered the two most efficient and used options in the Wild Format:
- XBOT (https://xbot.app/home)
- ARCHMAGE (https://archmage.app/)
The requirements and setup are similar for both of these bots:
- you need to acquire a token on Hive Engine
- it is necessary to set up the bot as a recipient of a percentage of the rewards in SPS
- it is necessary to insert the Posting Key in the bot setup

In the next three images you can see the costs of the tokens that can be purchased to use XBOT
In the next three images you can see the costs of the tokens that can be purchased to use ARCHMAGE
I have not yet chosen which token to buy and which bot to use because I have decided to start using XBOT because it offers a 7-day free trial period.
To prepare to use a bot at the start of next season today I stopped renting all my Beta and Untamed cards because there are less than three days until the start of next season.
Before the start of next season:
- I will delegate all my Wild cards to my curation account for SPT tokens: @libertygame27
- I will also delegate my Modern cards of which I have multiple copies
- I will delegate part of my SPS tokens to @libertygame27.
To play in the Wild Format I will then incur costs:
- the cost of the Wild Pass
- the cost of purchasing one of the tokens from XBOT and ARCHMAGE
- the cost of the fees in SPS to be sent to the bot I choose to use.
I am really curious to see if my Level 3 Byzantine Kitty and my other wild cards will allow me, through the use of a bot, to cover the seasonal costs and make a seasonal profit in the Wild Format.
If you are curious too, you can read my future posts to find out ;)
I hope I have given you useful information and some interesting thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this post :)

La mia attività di gioco nel formato Moderno + Per la prima volta userò un BOT nel formato Wild a partire dalla prossima stagione.
Gioco su Splinterlands dal settembre 2019, ho giocato più di 37K battaglie senza usare bots perchè Splinterlands è un bel gioco con un gameplay divertente e strutturato e perchè semplicemente mi diverto a giocare nel Modern Format dove ci sono solo giocatori umani come me.
Ho giocato nel Wild Format fino a quando i bots sono stati bannati dal Modern Format.
Prima che i bots fossero bannati nel Modern Format stavo progressivamente perdendo lo stimolo e la voglia di giocare perchè su Splinterlands i bots sono molto più efficienti di un giocatore umano.
Ti divertiresti a giocare una partita di tennis da solo contro 2-3 tennisti?
Ti piacerebbe fare l'amore con un robot o preferiresti farlo con la tua fidanzata o la tua moglie?
Penso che queste due domande mostrino chiaramente il perchè non mi diverto a giocare contro i bots ma voglio giocare solo contro giocatori umani come me.
Quando i bots sono stati bannati dal Modern Format ho scelto immediatamente di giocare manualmente solo nel Modern Format e il mio divertimento, che era arrivato quasi a 0, è ritornato ad aumentare (fortunatamente).
Oggi mi diverto molto a giocare manualmente nel Modern Format con giocatori umani come me.
Quando mancano 2 giorni e 20 ore alla fine della stagione sono in lega Diamond II e prima della fine della stagione cercherò:
- di arrivare almeno in Lega Diamond I
- di accumulare almeno 150K Glint
Mi diverto molto a giocare nel Modern Format ma mi sentirei quasi "stupido" a giocare manualmente nel Wild Format perchè non mi divertirei neanche un pò perchè la competizione tra giocatori umani e giocatori che usano automatismi nel Wild Format è molto sbilanciata in favore dei bots.
Un immagine vale più di mille parole e ti sfido a trovare un giocatore umano che non usa un bot premiato nella leaderboard del Wild Format.
Tra l'altro Splinterlands e @yabapmatt sono più interessati alle esigenze gestionali di chi usa un bot rispetto alle esigenze di gioco e di divertimento dei giocatori umani che non usano bot.
Ad esempio a me piace molto giocare manualmente nel Modern Format e mi piacerebbe utilizzare le mie Wild cards per giocare manualmente solo contro giocatori umani ma non posso farlo perchè:
- i giocatori umani possono usare solo le carte di due set di carte nel Modern Format
- chi usa i bot può usare le carte di tutte le edizioni nel Wild Format
Secondo me ogni modalità di gioco presente e futura su Splinterlands dovrebbe avere sempre un opzione per garantire prima di tutto il divertimento dei giocatori umani che sono i pilastri di ogni gioco web2 e web3 che ha un gameplay ma noto che questa è solo la mia opinione ed è l'opinione di pochi altri...
Nella mia collezione di carte ho 116 carte = 2610 BCX che posso utilizzare solo nel Wild Format.
Splinterlands non dà la possibilità ai giocatori umani di giocare in modo competitivo nel Wild Format e per questo motivo dalla prossima stagione utilizzerò anche io un bot e ritornerò a giocare gestire le mie old cards nel Wild Format che saranno giocate da un bot.
Quindi a partire dalla prossima stagione:
- sarò un giocatore nel Modern Format e continuerò a giocare avendo come obiettivo principale il divertimento.
- sarò un investitore nel Wild Format e gestirò i miei tokens e NFT per ottenere l'unico divertimento possibile in un "idle games": il profitto
Per la scelta di quale bot usare nel Wild Format ho considerato le due opzioni più efficienti e utilizzate nel Wild Format:
- XBOT (https://xbot.app/home)
- ARCHMAGE (https://archmage.app/)
I requisiti e il setup sono simili per entrambi questi bots:
- è necessario acquistare un token su Hive Engine
- è necessario settare il bot come beneficiario di una percentuale delle rewards in SPS
- è necessario inserire la Posting Key nella configurazione del bot

Nelle tre prossime immagini puoi vedere i costi dei token acquistabili per utilizzare XBOT
Nelle tre prossime immagini puoi vedere i costi dei token acquistabili per utilizzare ARCHMAGE
Non ho ancora scelto quale token acquistare e quale bot usare perchè ho deciso di iniziare ad utilizzare XBOT perchè offre un periodo di prova gratuita di 7 giorni.
Per prepararmi ad usare un bot all'inizio della prossima stagione oggi ho interrotto il noleggio di tutte le mie Beta e Untamed cards perchè mancano meno di tre giorni all'inizio della prossima stagione.
Prima dell'inizio della prossima stagione:
- delegherò tutte le mie Wild cards al mio curation account per i token SPT: @libertygame27
- delegherò anche le mie Modern cards di cui ho più copie
- delegherò parte dei miei token SPS a @libertygame27
Per giocare nel Wild Format dovrò quindi sostenere dei costi:
- il costo del Wild Pass
- il costo dell'acquisto di uno dei token di XBOT e di ARCHMAGE
- il costo delle fees in SPS da inviare al bot che sceglierò di utilizzare
Sono davvero curioso di vedere se la mia Byzantine Kitty di livello 3 e le altre mie wild cards mi permetteranno, tramite l'uso di un bot, di coprire i costi stagionali e di ottenere un profitto stagionale nel Wild Format.
Se sei curioso anche tu, leggi i miei futuri post per scoprirlo ;)
Spero di averti dato informazioni utili e qualche spunto di riflessione interessante e ti ringrazio per aver dedicato il tuo tempo alla lettura di questo post :)

You absolutely right it's more fun though playing with real humans than bots, but it's been a long since I was paired with any bots, all have been eradicated. I prefer seeing real names rather than a long format or unknown name
You are right, fun and bots are two elements that are at odds and that no can coexist
Hmm yahh so true.
It's crazy, I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that they developed a new game mode for bots... Other web3 games try to remove bots but here they want it. Farming/staking NFTs for me are boring, we just need to look how nearly every game on Wax has died with this format. I have now switched to a bot from this season too. It was fun to play you as a real player.

Yes, and this sentence of yours brings together everything that Splinterlands should focus on and protect: fun among players.
I didn't sell Byzantine Kitty because it was the card I used in the game and liked the most, those who use a bot only have an interest in the rewards and since they earn them without playing they are much more likely to sell them.
Fun creates loyalty with any game but this reasoning.
Heartstone does not give out rewards for playing but makes money from selling cards and has chosen not to tolerate bots...Splinterlands does... Often it would suffice to take an example from similar projects that have been successful in order not to go wrong...
thanks a lot for your comment and for picking my post
Perfettamente allineati! L'unica differenza e che io oggi non ho la collection per essere competitivo in nessuno dei due formati 😆 ma ci sto lavorando!
L'importante è fare un passo alla volta ed essere competitivi una lega dopo l'altra e vedrai che arriverai ai tuoi obiettivi ;)
Thanks for sharing! - @isaria

It sucks to see you are going with bots and how the new mode will be primarily for bots. I think it's a good idea to see if it is profitable to use a bot for yourself. I am wondering if in the cost analysis, you also consider the possible input cost of renting the card for the time period. I think that makes it easier for people who have less income to consider whether or not it is worth it.

Good read. I think we all knew from the beginning that the bots will not be eliminated. I don't know, maybe it's the artificial volume that add or the money they make for the game, I cannot truly tell.
However 50% of the game's problem will go with the bot, creating a space for it in my opinion is just not good enough
Completely agree
Bots also have advantages but in my opinion they are all obtainable by creating Splinterlands-owned bots that do not earn rewards but are useful for starting battles when there are few players.
The main problem to be solved is that in the main game mode human players who want to play with other human players cannot do so with all their cards but only with cards from two sets of cards.
I hope this will change in the future otherwise attracting new players will be difficult
thanks for your comment my friend :)
This may be a very weird viewpoint but how I see Splinterlands is like this:
Wild = Bot Format, take my cards and go get some [RoI]. I use XBot because Sylar is the guy who designed/runs XBot and he also protects Splinterlands from bot abuse.
Modern = too expensive for me to play at a high level, I just couldn't afford to get all those Rebellion Cards I needed.
Brawl = where I play my games against human opponents for [fun]
Tournaments = where I play against human opponents for [Frustration] lol jk
There are currently three modes of play where you can't bot... but having a format where you are essentially "Staking Assets" for RoI is not a bad idea imo... but that's just how I see things and of course everyone sees things differently.
However, one thing I see has been said time and again... "Observe what works well in other Web3 games and do that..."
I can't stress this enough - that's so important to do!!!!! We don't need to reinvent the wheel... just need to adapt the current wheels that work, refine and improve them and then BOOM!!!
Hi @captaindingus I think every point of view is respectable even if different from mine, and so thank you for expressing your opinion.
You are right but the main and most attractive game mode is ranked mode
I'm not totally against this even though Splinterlands has so many ways to earn passive income that turning even a game with gameplay into an idle game I don't know if it's really a right choice in the long run.
My concern is about attracting new players, and the current structure is not very attractive to new players, and I will explain why.
A new player who comes in today and buys Chaos Legion cards does not know that the cards he buys today, tomorrow he can only play them against bots. To me, this situation is very far from being considered an equal opportunity situation. It would be equal opportunity if human players can use all cards from all editions only against human players but it is not.
In the current situation a new player who wants to play only against real players can use only two sets of cards in Modern Format.
There is an imbalance on the use of cards in ranked play in my opinion
How to fix this situation?
In my opinion it would be enough to structure ranked battles like this:
There would be no war between human players and bot users because everyone could use the cards with whoever they want and whatever their goal, fun and roi
In Wild Format Splinterlands is basically an idle game
Do you know of any web3 idle games that have been successful in the long run and whose tokens and assets have increased in value over time and which have increased in number of players as time has passed?
I have many examples of failed idle games...
In my opinion, the wheel should not be reinvented but improved, and in any game protecting the enjoyment of human players as the main resource should be the priority and the basis for long-term success
Thank you again for your comment
One final tidbit of insight - one of my friends plays Wild and will Bot quite a bit.
The difference is... after they reach a high level... they recognize that they're going to be playing against other Bots... but mostly the same bot accounts...
So they switch over to playing manually and their win rate... improves... 😳
Interesting bit of data and it is certainly an anomaly... I think a Human Modern/Wild and a Bot League would be cool but the issue then becomes "Reward Distribution"...
Playing against bots can indeed take away the joy and challenge of a game, as it feels less personal and engaging.
It's great to hear that the ban on bots in the Modern Format has brought back your enthusiasm and enjoyment for playing manually against real player.
