splinterland bots or quit

Hello, I started playing splinterlands at the beginning of august and I started to like it immediately since i am having fun and also earning some. I played with 2 accounts switching from one to another as the energy capture rate for DEC drops down.

Before I reached Gold III, I purchased the quest potion by 750 credit points amounting 0.75usd that time, and now which is not available thru credit but only for 750 DEC as of now.

I was surprised to have 2700 DEC inside the chest reward including the rare card and was not expecting for that lavish reward, maybe just lucky.

As time passed by, ranking up to higher tier is hard and expensive. I find that renting cards is not that worth it ONLY IF you are not ready to lose thousands of DEC. Staying on lower league means only staying on one digit DEC earnings per battle won.

I love playing splinterlands but still I have my own work that needs to attend at sea.

As I see here my other option is to pay for bot so my account will work for some time.

Any suggestions?

Bots are legal, but I am not sure if it is worthy, some other players have like 1000 accounts made of Bots.

So now I am confused if I should quit or continue using bots.

Thanks for reading
