The moment the potential outcome of that source was known, I contacted Jeff_L. He did not see it as a bug, and actually said it was going to stay that way. I even questioned this, and asked other administrators for their input, and they said the same. If it is intentional, but rare, then it isn't actively taking advantage of an obvious issue that needs to be fixed. I have still to see any similar administrator statement come around for any of these issues.

But then again, it seems to me that the typical skilled high-end players have a better grasp on how extreme some things are, compared to an administrator.

I did tell him how much I was estimating it to be worth in terms of income. The same I told the other administrators. The reaction, was the same as I explained earlier. I guess I can add, I was extremely surprised myself. But then again, it seems to me that the typical skilled high-end players have a better grasp on how extreme some things are, compared to an administrator.

It was me, goett, and a few other people I no longer remember.

Are you sure it wasn't pulling 500b+ a uni off your colos that did it?

Pretty rich seeing Thermal getting hot and bothered about "exploiting" when he had something like 120k SUSTAINED prom from a bugged ferm roid source, a few unis back.

Obviously this is much more a problem of enforcement policies than of player behavior. For example, in the case of the Fermium source I don't know whether Jeff was simply unaware of how aberrant 120k sustained Prom is, or if he simply doesn't have anyone on staff who has time to fix obvious issues like that. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit of both, and if you had said to him "I found a Fermium source that will earn me 3-4 Trillion this uni" I think he would have reacted differently. Again in the case of Ares warriors, the mechanic was clearly documented two unis ago and yet never addressed until now.

That second one is questionable to be honest..... Why should anyone be allowed to make 3-4 tril in one uni while it would take someone with the same amount of accounts about 10 unis to pull that off

It is without a doubt questionable - I have questioned it every day since! It seems like one of those galaxy generation bugs where you either get super-compressed asteroid fields (of which very few include fermium), or even those super-compressed clusterfuck solar systems. Those without moons. Both of them strike me as bugs, and I find it hard to believe that they were intended.

At the risk of sounding like an after-school special, I think we all know who really camped ares for trills then wiped SP. Their relative population stop you exploiting the Anatolia bug?

everything is intended

Were you intended?!??!

I hope for your sake this is sarcasm
