Your paranoia is only partly justified. I'm sure there are other honest players like yourself.
Then stop playing in arenas. Tbh, it matches you with a similar rating, if it can. Otherwise, a similar score. So say a 1500 played 4 matches and had a 2/4 score, and you did as well, you might match up.

2) It's full of bots. If they have low ELO ratings in their modes and puzzles, it's a cheating player. I want to play with people.

it's a fair argument, but the solution is to either ignore, continue to try your hand or work on getting better unfortunately
how did you manage to play a game with a player from every country
Lately, my son and I have been serving the community more than ever, reporting bots. Bot hunting is another chess.com pastime. After the games, we play to see who can find the most, haha. Mornings, afternoons, and nights, there are schools not of fish or whales, but of bots. "Play chess with your friends, family... and bots."Seriously, if everyone collaborates at the end of an Arena, check out at least two or three questionable players to discourage botting and allow you to play with people. Those who want to play with bots can do so in "Play Against Bots." Thanks for your comments.

The perception of cheating levels is orders of magnitude more than the actual amount. The vast majority of games and players are clean.
