a lot of existing onchain game design seems to favor automated players this seems especially true for games with resource harvesting (e.g. rts/idle style games) i think this often puts non-automated players (e.g. humans) at a disadvantage for people who can write bots, i'm sure the meta-game is fun. and you can provide tools to let most people interact with bots. b ut at that point, i think the game itself has changed--it's not about whatever underlying mechanics are interesting, but it's some optimization game on top ideally games made for human players have the scripting/automation happen somewhere upstream of the actual in-game mechanics (e.g. user generated content/worlds/npcs) rather than having them compete on the same field. excited to see more games explore along these veins

I'm a strong believer that humans and bots can live in harmony in games designed with such a thing in mind - but I absolutely agree it's a careful balance. Empowering humans with similar tools to automate their own efforts if they desire is absolutely a part of it.

The nice thing about bots in a properly designed onchain game is that they can end up being NPCs for players to battle, and with varying difficulties to keep players from beginner to advanced all entertained.

Do we have economies working like this already ? Or is this idealism
