Wow. Thanks for the informed and clear article. I was shocked how obvious the bots were the day CL came out. It’s harder for me to recognize now, so I appreciate the devastating numbers. I like the idea of an opt-in bot mode, but how would that be regulated? Would there be some incentive either way - to be transparent about bottling or not?

Also, the scale of CL makes much more sense to me now. I was wondering f how they could have devastated the market. On the one hand, people will be able to enter the game for a long time to come. I’m grateful I have been able to buy my way up to silver 2 abs I may get to silver 1, which would have been impossible without the available affordable cards. But will prices rise again? Or will the market be flooded for way too long?

I’m grateful for your information and reflections. And thanks for the giveaway. @squishna
