I noticed that a few players have been playing the robot over and over and boosting their stats. Is this the purpose of the robot? If it is then here's the strategy that I'd suggest everyone start to use. When you get close to a position like, maybe you're in 30th place and want to get to the top twenty. The stop playing live players and play the robot. Currently 20th place is 1763 and 30th place is 1737. You only need to play the robot 27 times and you'll displace 20th and increase your prestige.

-or-

BGA could eliminate all of the Robot stats and turn off it's elo, then we'd be getting back to earning what you get the old fashioned way, through hard work... and luck ;-).

Agree, some people play a lot with the robot just for grow up their rank.

Now the robot has 1100 ELO, so you can't get more than 5 ELO per game (and after 1600, you will got 1).

What about the issue where the robot has displaced players in games played? I suppose this wouldn't be an issue except that you implemented prestige. If there was a robot for every single game then in no time the robots would own first place for games played in every single game and 10's of thousands of prestige points would be lost to real players.

The robot is now in first place in games played. Sorry Thundar, you didn't need those 1000 prestige points anyway (first place 2000, second place 1000).
