Hello, nice to meet you. I've also been loosely thinking about my exit strategy. The thing I don't get is why the big players want to blow us out of space. Are they trying to get people to quit? Surely that can't be good for the game long term. Maybe they haven't thought that far ahead, and are just chasing stats?

I also agree that bots are not healthy for the game long term, but I'm not sure how much could be done about them and still maintain the openness of the game.
