The difference is that he is running away from the mobs instead of fighting them. There is no strong evidence of scripting based on the timing and the play patterns we analyzed so far but they will continue to be monitored.
However, we do plan to address the issue that the game allows infinite free energy refill (plus free gem pileup) when players farm guardian + possessed + chests on mainland town 1-5. The best solution we plan to implement, which does not affect the game play for 99.999% of players, is to limit one set of white crystal trade-in per day.
We all know running away from mobs won't increase your mob kills count however,as stated above he is running away from mobs instead of fighting them but his mob kill rate was still going up by a steady and continuous rate of 16 mobs per minute for long periods of time in excess of 8,10,12+ hours at a time and stats were increasing during this time.Logical explanation anyone as to how mob kills were going up without actually killing any mobs ??
As a result of the complaints received about Alfred and Eightbitpwny allegedly cheating the vast majority of players who play Dream World are instead handed a punishment of only being able to trade in white crystal sets once per day.
This is unfair and unjust towards the majority of Dream World players,to echo what Toulin says this limits peoples abilities to grow like others have done and now makes it EVEN harder for people to play especially with a mist cap of 3k mist per day already in place.It is very easy for people to go through more than 5k energy per day,i have done it or been close to it myself.
Personally if truth be told i can live without having another expansion due out in late March,the reason being i would prefer it if the expansion was postponed and the developers investigated anyone with excessively high stats and this is NOT an accusation to all or anyone with high stats that they have cheated to get them but merely a way to clarify the stats are genuine.
Many times peoples stats have come into question as to how they grew so much so why not do something about and let the developers do a full investigation of your character/toon.
If people have nothing to hide then they wouldn't mind doing the same,if the developers take on this idea which i doubt they will then they can start with me.
My stats are nearly mid 400's (nothing special compared to many others in Dream World) but at least i know mine are genuine and if the developers want to clarify that fact feel free to do so i have nothing to hide as do many many others in Dream World.
No doubt there will be people who will argue against this idea so let the moaning and whining begin now....
