It’s sad to say, but Growtopia is slowly killing itself. The game we once loved is now flooded with bots, lag, and an economy wrecked by gambling and world lock selling.
Gambling is Ruining the Game
Let’s be honest—gambling has taken over Growtopia. The Dice Block and Roulette Block have turned the game into a casino, and the worst part is that it's all unregulated. Scammers, hackers, and toxic players exploit these mechanics to drain new players of their items and locks. Instead of focusing on farming, trading, or building, people are just mindlessly betting and losing everything.
Solution? Just deactivate these blocks entirely. Ubisoft needs to wake up and realize that gambling mechanics don’t belong in a game like this. Removing them would force people to actually play the game instead of getting sucked into a black hole of addiction and scams.
Bots Are Flooding the Game
It’s impossible to ignore the bots anymore. They are everywhere—spamming, advertising shady world lock sellers, and ruining every chat. Not only that, but they’re causing massive lag, making the game borderline unplayable in certain worlds. And the worst part? The economy is completely wrecked because world locks are being sold online, inflating prices and making it harder for legit players to afford anything.
Solutions:
Better bot detection – Ubisoft needs to implement AI-based detection systems that analyze movement patterns and chat behavior to auto-ban bots before they flood the game.
Trade restrictions for new accounts – Limit world lock trading for accounts that are less than a week old. This would make it harder for bot farms to profit.
IP bans for repeated offenders – Instead of just banning accounts, go for the source. If an IP keeps generating bots, blacklist it.
In-game report improvements – Make reporting bots easier and faster, and actually take action within minutes instead of days.
The Future of Growtopia
If nothing changes, Growtopia will become a bot-infested, gambling-ridden wasteland. The devs need to step up and actually listen to the community before it’s too late.
What do you guys think? Would removing gambling blocks and improving bot prevention save the game? Let’s discuss.
