When DRUGWARs was launched and it runs off the STEEM blockchain, there was so much hype that everyone wanted to try it out and play it.
Indeed it was fun and addictive and yes I really enjoyed it , however it started becoming annoying seeing that there were so many people botting and abusing the game to the point that finding battles became a chore.
This was all because the economics of this game allowed people to earn STEEM on a daily basis and bots will always find its way into the game.
I remember the earlier days in World Of Warcraft where almost everyone was botting .... this was because people can sell gold for some good ole $$$
Even in games like Clash Of Clans people was using attack bots to farm for gold just to get the upper edge on the game.
So whatever that DRUGWARs is facing is nothing new, however how these problems are resolved will either make or break the game and keep the community interested in playing it.
Today DRUGWARs announced that they would be rolling out new updates which highlights were
- There would no longer be STEEM as daily heist payouts
- Introduction of FUTURE tokens to be paid instead of STEEM - without much information on FUTURE tokens.
I think its a bold move and one that is required. People who plays DRUGWARS purely for "investment" purposes is not wrong however it does really takes the fun out of the entire experience. Its suppose to be a GAME !!
So I do hope that DRUGWARS will be able to enhance the gameplay and make it fun for all types of players. I'm looking forward in more information of this FUTURE tokens and its functions.
Here is the link to the announcement beware it may take time to load as there are tons of comments.
