I think that the recent giveaway of HB monthly might cause the point shortage for the bots. Maybe you could wait until the giveaway stabilizes. By the way, I also observe that there are more bots in a group giveaway than public giveaway with the same condition.

So you want to create public GAs, but you don't want bots and auto-join scripts to enter? Good. Just post a comment in this thread with a link to an invite-only giveaway. The idea is very simple and is really not different from many (most?) of the other threads in the forum, except that you don't need to invest much time or thought into it. Just post the link in a comment, and you're done :-)
