I just thought your first post was over the top. comparing it to the games on WPN is ridiculous.
Fair enough and perhaps I did go a bit over the top after a long, unprofitable session. It's been a long two months for me with the game but also a blast, I've made money, and I've learned a ton. I was just trying to prove a point that it does seem as if the games are specifically harder from 10pm-6am on Saturday night than they used to be and there are most definitely botting and collusion issues but no - this isn't anything unique to Ignition right now. Still, I am finding BetOnline to be much softer than this here in late Spring and I can't specifically think of any account that I thought was a bot there. Two Saturday nights in a row here on Ignition I've just noticed a deviation from normalcy.
I apologize if I came across as or was argumentative. That wasn't my intention. Just to underline, too: I don't think the bots are specifically hard to play against or "super accounts", etc. I just know they're much harder to extract value from than people who are fish and when the bots are taking up seats, it isn't good for us as players.
As far as "killing the games": I am by no means part of that tinfoil hat crowd and have been very outspoken about this in my own YouTube channel as well as this poker forum and others. No, I think the games are profitable, live, and fun...just much more advanced and evolved than they used to be. Still, I don't want bots all over the place.
