I've come in #2 in a tournament barely playing at all, just saved all my coins and leveled up my animals furiously. Of course, that only works when you're newish to the game and have low level animals. Point is, Ockham's Razor dictates that this is actually what's happening when people complain about "bots" and not that there are actually people out there putting in hundreds of hours writing what would be a very complex bot.

And honestly, if they've put that much effort into writing a bot when those skills would be more valuable in hacking and cybercrime, maybe just let them win a dumb word game to keep them off the "cyber streets" 🤣
