Talk:"A Blade to Reawaken"/@comment-212.220.206.50-20130817043106

Interesting tidbit from the lower level powergame experiment I'm running (entirely manually, btw).

There's lots of bots below level 10 running automated invite operations - there has always been. However, trying to pull Amaterasu with 0.001 percent of success has apparently run out of fashion: the newest fad in bot-running is(was?) doing automated engardes.

The most popular bot farm I've seen got Rajomon on the latest Engarde, so now it's approximately over 60000 Rajomons below level 10 as their conveniently incremetal indices in the naming pattern seem to indicate.

I could not care less about so called 'power creep' - I believe that doing engardes is not enough to get a good deck, and I'm all for these creative coders getting their small buck from selling powered-up accounts.

However, Zynga knows of this (I mean, they are not blind, right? It's their database, and since I know this, so do they). Is soulgem an attempt to cull the efficiency of bot operators? So far the best I've seen an automated bot do in soulgem is ChainMail, and the reciever has already bailed, however, I think they'll manage to automate it next time.

I wonder if we'll lose Engarde's for good because low-levels are so easily exploited?
