Hey @crokkon,

Thank you for your interest in DrugWars and for this analysis. We are also sad to see so many automated actions ingame and are working hard to counter them and/or to make them useless. With a total of 11k players we can't let some people ruin the fair and the fun of the majority of the DrugLords.

Best regards,

This is good to hear, what do you plan on doing? Captcha?

I wonder if there is a way to prove an awesome, genuine, player like myself is actually who I say I am?
What if there were "Proof of brain" airdrops or something?
I am not sure how it would work. Maybe create whitelist or something?

Make us turk something potentially useful! Use our army of capcha warriors to do real work that puts something back into the heist pool!

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback and the resteem! :)

Hey @drugwars, before all congratulations for the great experience and game growth you acquired. I think it safe to say this project was a success since day 1.

But with all the success it would be obvious it would have people that always try to be more clever than the system and it's a good time to double down on the security. Otherwise, real players will not have a fair sensation while playing or spending time on the game.

If I may advise, you could start to implement reCaptcha v3.0, since now it's a really seamless experience and always analyze all the players vs bots movements in a quick and clean way without any confirmation or pop-ups needed to be a field or check. That way real players can keep have fun while the number of bots is reduced​ or even banned. This is just a short term patch I really recommend you as well to implement your own security measures like a blacklist of recurring bots and false players and other methods that make the game a safe place for all and promote a fair and fun place to be a part off.

@drugwars you made an amazing job (for yourself)

the game is actually quite nice in the beginning ... but the rewards are way to low ... and the degradation of earned value goes downward way to fast.

I am a human player, with no bots or gazillions of steem sitting somewhere, and i was in the game quite early, and spended over a 100steem, just to realize that after you have build something of a little empire, these prices and the recourse needed get’s way out of hand. It is really way to crazy and expensive. We are not all whales with gazillions of steem to spend like it is nothing!!!

Also i have noticed that you change things on the fly. And after the battles were back, you raised the price for troops significant.

So, it is safe to say that ... The only winner with drugwars are the drugwars devs and with that conclusion, i take my hat of for you
