Firmament Botting Out Of Control

Proving they are bots is as hard as proving they really expend 18 to 20 hours straight crafting, don't they have a life!?.


It's too fishy that some players can add + 300,000 points in a single day without cheating, they'd need to craft like 14 hours at 1 craft/3 minutes maximizing the collectability in order to make that much, definitely not achievable by a human player.


There are bots most likely and SE does nothing about it.

After crunching the numbers, you'd actually only need to have been pulling 9K points per hour since the rankings started to have over 2 million points, and considering that you can get over 20K points per hour ideally, the number is not nearly as unreasonable as I had initially thought.

That said, identifying who is/isn't cheating is a much dicier proposition then I had initially thought.

2,000,000 points at 9,000/hour would mean crafting around 22 hours per day for a total of ~222 hours in 10 days.
2,000,000 points at 20,000/hour would mean crafting about 10 hours per day for a total of ~100 hours in 10 days.


What you're not taking into account is the RNG factor and that not every craft will yield a perfect collectability, that definitely adds many hours of unsuccessful attempts with failed crafts, I'm pretty sure only bots are able to think that fast and not get tired.
