> What happens if you can detect who is a bot and not allow them to use cards higher than level 2?

I'm afraid I don't get what you mean with this. Could you maybe try to explain?

I keep wondering if those bots that keep you from reaching gold  ate put there by SM itself, or people related to SM, to make sure they can reduce the number of reward cards they need to send out, or maybe because there are just not enough players to kee the game going.
Or if they are placed there by people not related to SM, but then I can't think of a reason why...

I fear that you are all right.
And also I am in CL and have a pretty strong team I can understand your frustration being more or less hopelessly stuck on lower levels.. when they startet season 3 and everybody had to start at 0 all over again to get back to gold level was not a game.. it was hard work...
having said this and being frustrated about the bot situation I also have to say that I am still very very grateful towards the developers and this is still an amazing thing they built. 
And I feel also that the balance changes are spot on...

And in regards to bots: I hate them nearly as much as I do with this disease called voting bots on the steem blockchain... 
on the other hand there are reasons for a kind of automation for the battle system that could make sense... but as the developers have done first steps to stop bots I am sure they will solve the problem .. finally.. maybe with this google" I am not a robot" captcha or something similar... popping up randomly every 5 to 30 minutes... 
I mean this would be the worst option but it would work.. I am sure they can access data where they can statistically see which account uses bots and which not...
but anyways.. I am confident they will value our feedback and think about changes..
actually looking at the traction this simple card game already has I am looking so much forward to the announced strategy game and other ideas.. and at the end this will all be financed by the selling the packs.. so seeing all the negatives and reasons for complains I am still very optimistic about steemmonsters in general. 
And I also believe that our feedback will be a crucial part of the future steemmonsters success.. in hindsight...

@simplymike It would be too much work for SM to place custom bots for us hahahaha, in any case, it is better to reduce the amount of reward. 
And, Yes, I'm gold, but it was just hard to get it.

I think they are people who want to have more cards to benefit later.

I was saying that, for example, suppose you are a robot, and SM detects it and, in the rules, you can not use cards that exceed level 2(only bots). Do you understand me? In this way, there will be bots to occupy the number of people missing in SM, but it will not affect you because your cards can win.

I think the idea of ​​@solarwarrior is great, from time to time a catcha: I'm not a robot hahaha!

I love this game, it has given me different possibilities, I just want it to be very successful, even on my website I talk about them hahaha.

But let's be honest, we know that bots are necessary to have enough players, but it's not good to lose with false accounts, that is, bots with level +5,4,3 cards. It's very sad.

the moment they introduce google captcha I will quit instantly. Do you understand, that bots can quess it better than most players do? And I am not playing games to solve stupid captchas. There are other ways that can detect bots without hurting normal players.
