RE: Drug Wars introduces a new kind of bot farm
Their reward structure favours the new players, which is not that bad. All they have to do is to stop bots and it will be fine I think

How do you say that it favours new players?

It's cheaper and more profitable at the lower levels

But rewards are decreasing day by day right? And also the quantity of drugs produced in a day is way too much for a starter to get just 0.10 Steem as their daily reward. I maybe wring with the exact value of Steem. But it is definitely low compared to how much people used to get when they joined initially right?

I'll give you an example. If you invest 10 STEEM you'll get it back in 3-4 weeks. If you invested 100 STEEM, it would take much more time to return your investment

So its favours small players, not new players ;)
Correct. I've made the wrong assumptions that all new players are small.

Yes that's true. But I still don't get why you say that it favours the new players. In my opinion I would say that it favours only the clever players. Even if they are new players and if they plan to invest 500 STEEM, it is going to take forever to get the ROI right?

It doesn't benefit new players, the "game" is already at the stage that new players won't break even most of the time.
Is it easy to work out? If you invest more, you can upgrade quicker and keep producing more drugs. You might get to break even quicker if you invest but is it easy to work out how much all the upgrades improve earnings in the long term?
If you invest too much you won't get a decent roi. And you can't upgrade as most ppl did at the beginning because now there are a lot of bot users who will attack you if you don't have enough defense. You can't just wait to get enough res to upgrade everything, you will have to invest in your defense and that will slow down your growth. And the rewards are going down each day if you don't upgrade, for example, I get ~5% less Steem per day.
There will be no real new players because the whole game mechanic is shit, battles are shit and I don't think the devs will/can do anything to make it a good game
I don't think it is that simple to work out. Yes if we invest more we can progress quick but it is purely dependent on how clever we are in choosing which one to upgrade. Math is not that simple.

That seems a bit like a strategy game?
Check this out: pharma upgrade from level 2 to level 3 cost approx. 19 STEEM.
Upgrade from level 1 to 2 would cost less than 9 STEEM.
both will increase your production with 24K/day
