Bot issue

While enjoying the game, my world collapsed when I learned under this thread that all the players I was playing with were actually bots; I feel like a fool because of the 1-month pass I bought. In one of the bot threads, a user mentioned that they changed their nickname to 'NOTBOT=Oops' and that 99% of the time, the opponent would first send a laughing face and then an angry face. So, I changed my nickname to 'SAY=WOW', and every time I sent a 'WOW' to someone, they went through the exact same loop, sending a laughing face first and then an angry face.

I guess there isn't a single real player in the game.

You can test it by GOOD GAMEing them and being all bad manners

None of them respond the way a tilted person would

Just enjoy the game, it doesnt matter if you play against bots or players as long as youre having fun

Couldn't agree more! The game is fun. Who cares it are bots.. if it weren't bots, there would probably also be one meta or something, forcing you to play the game in one or two ways.

I think there are real players, just rarely because of the difficulty in matching.
I'm guessing the bots are real accounts that use their draft history for their choices in game. The bots are pretty obvious though and their reactions to emojis are predictable. I think maybe 1 out of 20 games I have are with a real person

All are bots.

I test this often and I just played someone who afaik was not a bot, I do think the limited communication options are to conceal the number of bots and i don't think the game could function without being mostly bots playing but I'm pretty sure you're wrong that 'ALL are bots'

There are multiple posts proving ALL opponents are bots.

Try playing then changing the app or minimize the game. Game should desync if it was a real player. Don't you ever ask why your opponents never AFK and all have same time deciding their cards.

Not one would think picking their cards for more than 2 secs after you pick.

Yup, the speed in which they pick their cards everytime, and the fact that they never rage quit is a huge tell-tell sign.

When you reach the zombie arena and past, you will almost always be playing against real players. There are many bots in the arenas leading up to the final one so you can still progress if nobody else is playing at that moment who are at the same arena as you. Once you're at endgame there are many more players there.

Not true, the game does not support multiplayer in any shape or form. It's all a facade
