Our future will be giant cubicle farms of vat-grown murder alts.

I understand your concern, sir. However, I must point out that it has already been addressed.

The higher-end Marvels (i.e., the ones that could feasibly give you more than 300 LP if you use them) should be prohibitively expensive to mass-produce, and thus nonviable for alt-farming. Moreover, the less expensive lower-end Marvels wouldn't give nearly enough LP per use to make using them in alt-farming make a large difference.

You already have the means to create your alt farms; just mass-produce curios and feed 'em to your alts. Voila. The future has already come. And it's free-range, too!

It could never be prohibitive enough until it would be prohibitive in general, in which case it just wouldn't get made.

Again, though; even if you had the patience, resources and space to build a lot of them for alts, it still wouldn't net you any more LP than a few cone cows. After all is said and done, curios are still the most efficient LP resource; Marvels would just supplement it.

Keep in mind, with the initial proposed 8-hour intervals, you'd be "locked out" of that alt for a while (if you wanted the LP from the Marvel) and unable to swap out curiosities.

With TeckXKnight's proposal, your alt would be removed from the Marvel after a period of time; thus, you'd continually have to log in to put him back in. You couldn't leave it in there, and gain meager LP, indefinitely.

Of course, you might cite botting problems but, hey: Botters gonna bot.

I appreciate your scrutiny, though.
