I am actually about to release something to help people perform automated actions in Drug Wars. Scripting in itself is not bad, I don't agree that people should be scripting attacks, but many of the online games I've played like this have a community with scripting.

A game I've played for years called Kings of Chaos has many scripts for macroifying game play. I think for DW scripting to automatically invest and buy units is fine (imo) scripting to auto attack or create multiple accounts and harvesting Steem is obviously bad.

Good analysis.

Any scripting gives an advantage to small pool of players, so it is a form of cheating!

When you do some scripting in a normal game I can accept that because other players are only loosing their time. The difference between normal game and drugwars is that here you are awarded with real money (steem is just like money), so it is not a cheating but obviously it can be called form of steeling from others.

Imagine what would happen if come to casino (where you can also win real money) and cheat there or just use some tools to win more?

Precisely. =) And when laws become very conformable dealing with these techs, it will be crime! Write that down! 🤣 - I am joking with it, but its not that far away to happen... and its pretty easy to do/implement.

You have a valid point here. However, I think such automation merely will force the Drug Wars team hand to make the game less two-dimensional and introduce other ways to make money and grow, invalidating the need for automating heist invests or unit creation.

It's a flawed game right now.
