Arguably, i don't think animals should be giving lp just because the easyness it is to just bot that. If the world ever does restart, the beginning of the next world is just gonna go by so fast.

I know a person who said that he is getting ~1kk lp daily from botting animals.

Yea, I can buy that, even if you kill 1 bat a minute in a cave, you are gaining another 200k lp a day.

Maybe there should be cap on the amount of lp you can earn from killing animal per day.

and they were warned in the bum fights topic this would happen. i am not sure how they would get 1 million LP a day that's 27 bats a minute for 8 hours. I assuming they are doing cave runs and just going from cavern to cavern.

see and this is what frustrates me so much with jorb/loftar... they don't want to police botting and blah blah blah and its sooooo hard to stop it... You literally just need to have some formula on the backend that does something like this (fake numbers for example purposes):
the average person can gain like 200,000 LP a day, 8000 exp a day, is active for X hours. If someone is vastly out of range of these values put them on a list for that day... maybe they used icicles or troll skull that day who knows... run that for 2 weeks... is someone always poping up on the daily list? spectate them for 30 seconds... are they botting or just doing something better than everyone else?

I may be alone but if they halted features for 1 week and concentrated on some anti botting stuff I would be soooo happy.... theres nothing like playing a game knowing your doing everything correctly and someone is still making 10x the LP you are... has 2x the attributes of you and invests 1/10 of the time.

Im fine with farming bots and some mild stuff, but such hardcore botting should be somehow punished. I'd say, maybe some pranks on the botting chars?

So what now the game is updated every week more or less?
Also these updates aren't some minor bug fixes, but rather major game changes not over exaggerating too much, I guess.
But one thing was on my mind is that these recent updates would require a lot of work and from what I heard that lofter does the major coding and jorb supplies with the art. So in other words they would be working many hours a day and every day for the week. So do they have part-time jobs or they get money from else where? Since I don't see any adverts on this website which is a plus, but still all website and game servers cost money to sustain them and not including rent/mortgage and other supplies like food and medicine.

Unless they hacked servers, live in their moms basement and feed of from players tears. LOL XD. But seriously where do they get the money since I doubt that they live of from the this game's store alone.

actually I am pretty sure they are trying to live off this game. With the amount of effort they are putting in recently I don't think they have enough time for another job.
