I see some things are not exploit but if you gain 10mils or so coins just like that and nobody else gets nothing thats pretty shady at least.
I mean one guy said if have done that he would be 30mils richer. Thats pretty alarming for the economy in my opinion ofc

In the grand scheme of things, this didnât really do any damage to the game. Yeah, some people made coin faster than they normally, but all in all, if they wanted it, they could have made the amount in a longer period of time.
Weâre talking about people who ALREADY had the spark on hand to mint it. And that still took time.
The Devs made their ruling on this. You need to let it go and move onâŚ

Itâs really not going to affect the economy. Iâve noticed that the people with more money have more stuff for sale. And a lot of them put about half of it back into the economy by buying stuff.
I see it as win win.
I think you have sour grapes because you missed outâŚ

I think this is where the issue is⌠generating enough spark to make 10 mil coin âjust like thatâ is not a fast thing. People had weeks or months worth of spark saved up so even though it seemed like the coin could be generated âjust like thatâ in reality a lot of effort had previously gone into creating enough spark to bring up those big numbers.
In order for someone to have made 10mil coin when the spark item value was 40c per (with fully coiled minter) they would need to have 250,000,000 spark to turn into spark items.
Since peaty soil was used in an early discussion on this, it would take 3,600,000 peaty soil compacted in 20,000 mass crafts into compact peat before putting that into generators to create the 250mil spark. As a rough estimate with 50 compactors running this would be around 73 hours of compacting peat. Not even considering how long it would take to farm 3,600,000 peat to begin with.
If you used 32 gens, it would take over 18 days straight of 24 hours a day to turn that compact peat into the needed 250mil spark to turn into that 10 mil coin, and this does not take into account repairing and feeding the gens.
So while people that had 10mil coin worth of spark around may have âcashed outâ instantly⌠the effort that went into getting that 250mil spark in the first place should not be forgotten.
If I spent the same amount of hours doing pretty much any task in Boundless constantly for that period of time and saved every resource from what i was doing and then sold it âall at onceâ I could likely come up with a similar result.
Anyway, just my unsolicited 2c and the last I will mention any of this.

I think you dont cause you got some coins from it
THE PROBLEM is that EVERYTHING is always GREY AREA or Shady or whatever⌠nothing is ever NO .
Im 100% against botting
. Scripting⌠whatever.
This was just my opinion about it.

hereâs an idea for ââthe futureââ (i had too)
how about if a glitch is found or a bug or anything related to that.
it wont be posted publicly? but instead reported privately to the developers this way we reduce any exploit/glitches abuses dramatically whatever you wanna name it .
because you show it public people will try and abuse it for their own good.
can we just agree on this, yeah alright thanks

I mean, for the stuff that might be exploited like the chrysominter thing, sure, I agree.
But for the âOh noes, I fell under the map into the void!â, the support section is still better.
But even then, whatâs more important, I think, is that as soon as a possible exploit is detected/reported, the devs should say âthatâs an exploit where we will take action against people who abuse itâ ASAP.

correct but thatâs also not what i meant but good point to bring it up ,this should still be reported in the support section , i mean its there to be used.
i agree

So you can lag the exoâs just by regen farming with a group of people no scripts needed or bots. Please donât make the assumption everyone who uses in game mechanics as botting. If your issue is with regen farming come out and say it but quit with the insinuations everyone is cheating because they are not. I bring 4-5 people with me to get gleam on exoâs my wife, my son, and some people from my guild. We switch off throwing bombs. We are not botting we are using the resources given in game to obtain blocks to build with or craft.

I didnât even know about it until I saw it on the forums, and then it was patched. So, no. I didnât get any coin from it. Iâm not sad or upset that I missed out.
Iâm just annoyed by all the people who continue to whine about it.
I was a with a group that did similar when we were farming flowers for the valentines event.
The video you posted clearly shows people working together as a team to harvest a lot of resources in a small area. I was with a similar team and we used this same method to harvest flowers during the valentine event.
With your bomb skill and dexterity maxed, plus bombs forged with lightness, it is quite possible to throw bombs this fast.
Typing while throwing bombs is quite impressive. Especially when you see that the bomb throwing doesnât stop or slow down while the player typeâŚ

you can manually drop bombs so fast that they will continue to run for about a minute after the stop, especially since it is already laggy

Is that possible even WITH botting?
dont think so normaly the chat is the highest layer and should block/overtook all input
Yeap. I thought you would remove it.
