    Or just no infamy change for bots positive or negative. Essentially infamy is a measure of a players skill (debatable) so having a bot take your place should have no effect. This could be exploited by players triggering the bot mode when it looks like they will lose but my above post should limit this abuse.

    Good point. Plus, who's going to have their noob bot "carry" them a couple battles and call it an exploit lol. I think the bots should purposely be pretty noobish for this reason. Emphasis on last resort :confused:

    Turn on bot button and no rewards no infamy given,this won’t encourage ppl to abuse this feature and also solves the problem of network connection error/floating

    If infamy couldn't be lost or gained, people would activate bot mode as soon as they started losing to avoid dropping infamy.
    If infamy still could go down then you would get tankers loving this mode, with chance to only drop infamy and never gain, with no chance of being reported.
    Its a nice idea but in practicality would cause more problems than fixes.

    So far it seems like not affecting infamy gain/loss is the best way to go. Just cut out the rewards so it wastes your time to use it intentionally.

    There is a BB Subreddit. My in-game tag: #GDHYNGJQ
    When I mentioned the game detecting you taking advantage of the button, I just figured it would look to see how often you press the Bot button at the beginning of a battle. If you started off a bunch of subsequent battles by pressing it, it would assume something was up and give a penalty. A cooldown could work as well though.
    I have no idea how hard it is to program a Bot. If the developers didn't want to spend much time programming one, they could always use the existing one we encounter at low Infamy levels (the ones who are all named "AdjectiveAnimal###").

    That's a really good idea. That could totally work.
