Yeah I kind of jumped to extremes by calling it a “mistake”, but I absolutely think limits need to be placed on it so an account can only generate x amount of coins per day.

maybe yeah, “artificial caps” on gains is kinda a double edged sword though. say in other MMOs caps on types of progression currencies has caused a “meta” to play optimally, without caps it is just time = gain… would that happen here? probably not, but it has ruined my enjoyment of other games with whole swaths of their community telling more “casual” players that if they aren’t min/maxing their currencies they are playing “wrong”.
to me, if someone wants to spend 100hrs of clicking a rock to get something they want that is fine, I hope they enjoy it. but I don’t want mechanics to push spending 2hrs a day clicking a rock in order to hit coin cap just to make sure you don’t “fall behind”

I used to think someone taking advantage of an exploit or game mechanic was a little unfair, but really mostly for other players in the community.
Can you really “fall behind” in Boundless? If anything, all of the newer players are at a disadvantage as most of them including myself couldn’t have taken advantage of say free coins due to some exploit/bug be it with the minter or any other dupe bug etc.
If anything, the plots are the only way I feel someone might get behind and for any new player it’s such a grind to get enough plots to actually make something very large or spending a good chunk of change to get a lot of plots and even then, they get less due to not being a founder …etc.
Either way, I never felt behind.

You do know there are people who have multiple accounts?
One of the other game I play (Neverwinter MMO) has caps on campaign currency, with a weekly limit on how much you can earn. It drives me bonkers because I have to log on every week and maximize my earnings to get anywhere.
I started play June 5th, 2019. By December 20th, 2019, I had put about 1400 hours in (avg 56 hours a week).
Now? Maybe 6 hours a week.

Absolutely. Comparison is the thief of joy.

It’s a bit weird how in Boundless it’s easier and faster to grind exp (=cubits=plots) at late game than early game. Usually the rate of gaining premium currency ingame goes down the longer one plays.
I’m not complaining, though.

Agreed. A store for skins would be a fun sink for coins, one that the players stock via a new crafting station perhaps.

Oh boy would that be my department… Designing patterns like skins for tools or body paint… And then the game developers can check your work before you can print it off in game and sell in shop… Sorry went nerd for a min 
I can’t draw to save my life… but love in game designing for stuff.
