I'm not having any fun with Plarium games either. I'm going to buy Minecraft from the playstore rn instead of spending (wasting) money and time on plariums unfair cheating games. I was going to spend some money upgrading my mechs and weapons but I now realize that this game is a casino scam with a facade of a Player Vs Player skill based game. This is a Player Vs Cheating A.I. Bot controlled outcomes. Skill is meaningless in mech arena, just give us an auto-battle option since the match outcomes are predetermined before the match starts. Just let us click a button and watch the game play or a quick battle option that just runs a few seconds and gives us our predetermined outcome. Stop wasting our time!

I think if we play against only bots we should automatically get the 50 points, otherwise it's plarium cheating.

And if playing against other humans with bots we should either get the highest points of a non-bot if we win or at least zero if we lose. Otherwise it's just plarium deciding to remove points from us. 

And why do bots get points anyway? 

I'm finding myself playing less and less. The proliferation of mechs and weapons with bots either winning or taking first place in the majority of battles makes it meh. When you first start, the battles were lively in you face battles, then it becomes homing misses, one shots from the other side of the map, bots appearing behind you,  and it becomes work rather than fun. 

And upgrading only makes it worse. You have this idea that by upgrading it might be as fun as when you first started with the minimal mechs and weapons you had, but it becomes more laborious and you win less and bots take all the first places, so it's like they are mocking you.

Say you mod your star mech to survive a targeted missle barrage, they'll just make the missles do more damage so you are running in place to get third place amongst bots if you don't lose. You could pay heaps of money to get the mechs and weapons that are meta but what if you don't want to be forced to play a certain mech or weapon in order to scrape by?

If you lose points to an all bot battlefield basically it Plarium just taking the points off you since they control the outcome of the game.

Honestly, that sounds like a solid move. If a game stops being fun, it’s not worth forcing it. Minecraft modpacks through the Crystal Launcher  alone can keep you entertained for hours with way more freedom and creativity. It’s good you found something that actually feels rewarding again. Games should be enjoyable, not frustrating. Maybe Mech Arena improves someday, but until then, enjoy what makes you happy.

sounds stupid but i actually like the autoplay button idea :) with 8-9 bots in every battles its often less fun and more just complete the tasks to tick them.. with no entertainment against real people and NO OPTION to play ONLY against real people its safe to say that (1) Autoplay button makes sense, i would use it, lets say even at least if i have to go away for 1 minute to look after kids when the battle already started at maybe when im just bored to do repeated missions that i dont like (2) plarium indeed easily controls the outcome as truth is we cant see the code to know if they get random weapons or weapons that favor one side on purpose. if there are all bots it might be all rigged. there is no argument to that, we dont have transparency to defend the developers on this. 

Instead of 1 game with 6 real people plarium prefers 6 games full of bots. Why is that? Conspiracy theories may not be so much conspiracy after all.
