Last week I held my Monday practice until just before midnight in hopes of joining a league where people were not churning XP a lot faster than I wanted to. When I posted my first 14 XP that night, many players already had several hundred XP. If we had all joined around the same time, that would not have been possible. Usually when I join, no one in my league has already earned more than 50 XP.
During the week, I repeatedly saw many players suddenly jump up hundreds of XP. When I clicked on their user profiles, the graphs showed they had no XP earned within the last day, inconsistent with their XP totals changes.
As the league deadline approached on Sunday night, there was a cluster of players with around the same point value above and below the cut off line. In a normal week, there would’ve been some shuffling there as people sought to keep their heads above water. But the bots had apparently gone quiet and the usual last minute scramble did not happen.
I can’t confirm that these were bots, but I can confirm that I’ve never had a week like that before and lots of things made me suspicious.
If that happens again, I hope I’ll have the fortitude to ignore the leagues. I found myself choosing activities for points efficiency instead of what made the most sense for my goals.
