My friends list is shrinking because you continue to ban players who play the mini games and use "something" to play it at a higher level.

However I can't get my banned friends back so I have no one to sell premium certificates to and you aren't making money from me unless I'm buying codes to sell to them.  Be careful what you fix and try not to break things.

Just saying :-)

Not trying to flame you, but that post caused me to lose some of my brain cells. First of all, call it for what it is, a bot/abuse of game mechanics and using it does not mean you're playing at a higher level (lol wut). All I hear is that YOU don't want devs banning botters because YOU want to sell premiums to botters for their botted money and since YOU didn't actually bot, you're just making use of the botters' existence to fill your own pocket in a safe manner.

No, no, no, it is precisely because of premium code sellers like you that people are now complaining about an economy problem. You sellers set the price based on the fact that you know that botters can pay higher prices; as a result, regular players got a false assumption that there is an economy problem because premiums are no longer priced within reasonable ranges that they can comprehend unless they consider the fact that botting was involved. Code sellers like you are the reason that an "economy" exists and why devs had to step in to address the very botters that you call your "friends". So if you think about it, YOU banned your "friends" because of your greed.

Just saiyan. ;P


My view, as mentioned before is that there actually isn't an economy problem, or even an economy for that matter; it's just an artificial construct that was born as the result of code selling and its sellers pricing them due to botting. As a result, I will repeat this as many times as I need to, but code selling has to be removed as it has left the scope of what it was originally meant for. No code selling=no economy=nobody complaining that they can't afford a code= botting isn't an issue.
