    This was also the quote I was referring to. I need to find it, it is not deleted though and its from the recent letter from the producer live.

    I bolded the part you are referring to and highlighted in red some interesting info.
    Q: In Regards to Cheating

    A:
    We are currently working very hard to eliminate all of the cheaters in A Realm Reborn.
    In the current age where monthly subscription-based games are decreasing rapidly, the RMT are rapidly flocking to the game because of its popularity and how difficult it is for them to make money from the free-to-play MMOs.

    Currently, the biggest problems are bots and warpers.

    As for the warpers, every time we implement a countermeasure, the RMT will find a to work around it. Since this is a neverending cat-and-mouse game, we are looking into ways to completely eliminate warpers.

    As for the bots, we are working as fast as we can to take action based on the reports that we received, but please note that we have to be careful when investigating the reports to avoid taking action on innocent players.

    While we do have a tool that automatically detects cheats, the RMT have been implementing workarounds such as adding random factors to appear less robotic. Please note that we can’t go into this much because the RMT may use it to implement additional workarounds. We are carefully investigating the logs and then taking action on those who are identified as cheaters (about a few hundred accounts per day).

    We will continue to address the cheaters by increasing the number of employees in the STF department.

    Since we are on the topic of cheating, there is another thing I wanted to mention. Recently, a player uploaded a video of them using a third party program. While this cheat was already addressed by us, they made it seem like the cheat was still an ongoing issue. Honestly, this is an interference of our business because it has a huge negative impact on the community. Please note that we will not be taking these actions lightly and plan to take action if it gets out of hand.

    While it is okay for players to upload in-game videos of ARR, we never approved the videos of players using third party programs. We appreciate your cooperation regarding this matter.

    More bannings went out against RMT (and possibly players). Gil prices just shot up from $15/million to $30/million over night.

    Wonder what the shard market will be doing as more actual rmt are banned.

    Some shards have reached the 50g per range.

    I'm farming my own atm toward the miner luminary achievement, in sort of preparation for the coming future, especially as more and more crafters are popping up, and more shards are being used.

    Makes me wish shard farming wasn't so fucking boring. Unfortunate side is I don't think too many people consider shard costs when they go to sell their crap, either.

    Wait, how do you sell shards? <_< I thought they were unsellable.

    Or am I missing something big here. (I don't do crafting, obviously.)

    I'm wondering what shard prices are like on new servers compared to legacy, considering the lack of sources for them.

    Where is says "unsellable" is the place the NPC price goes, you can't NPC them.

    I wonder what would happen to the economy if SE capped gil on characters to 5M total, including retainers? The only thing selling for millions is HQ ilvl70 stuff. Everything else sells for next to nothing, comparatively.

    Mid is a new server?

    Most shards seem to hover around ~30g on legacy, it's surprising that they're actually worth more than a significant chunk of non-niche items DoH/DoL can gather.

    It was only recently that I actually took the use of shards/crystals/clusters into consideration at all, in 1.0 I'd regularly dump shards on retainers to avoid going over the cap (I've got more than 20,000 of a few kinds of shards) now they're actually worth a significant chunk of a lot of synths, especially given the low cost of materials in general.

    Yea, midgardsomr is not a legacy. it's not one of the 1-2 servers they added after launch though.
