Skybuilder Botting Issue

It would be nice if the gathering portion was actually monitored. Not sure how feasible it actually is to legitimately get that many points in a day like some of the others are.

I got just 15,720 points as BTN in the 3 hours I spent in there yesterday, using my Aetheric Auger on the plant monsters only...and some people got between 80k and 120k...in one day worth of ranking. In fact, the most points earned yesterday that I see is 122,919. All I'm gathering is the Artisinal stuff, and getting the weather nodes when they pop. I do not see that being able to be done legitimately.

Your first mistake is going after the weather nodes. Those are traps most of the time since they involve stopping what you're doing and flying all the way across the map for stuff that is basically worth the same as regular node mats. You're gonna lose tons of points if you keep doing that. Same thing in fishing. If you just plop yourself down wherever and reel in everything, then go flying all around chasing weather fish, your not going to make anywhere near the points people that know what they're doing make. Big points is not some botting scheme, it's just knowing the most efficient way to make points and then doing that for the maximum amount of time you're willing to do it.

Me personally, I had to work last two rankings, but the points I made showed me I could rank world first in fisher if I just had the time off to do it. I took the time off and now I am doing it, fully legit, while also catching up on a mountain of movies that have been on my backlog for years. I'm actually accomplishing MORE of my personal minor life goals here while I grind than I do regularly as odd as it seems.

When this short 10 day event is over I will go back to my job working in a hospital lab with covid patients and samples all day long, none the worse for wear, but hopefully with a better understanding of my own capabilities and limits and what I can do when I put my mind to a task. Hopefully that meets our social warrior's standards of how I should be spending my own personal time. If not, well...get over it. I'm having fun.

Yeah, I realised my mistake of doing that and actually now only hit it when I am right there, not flying across the area just to do so. I highly doubt(actually can guarantee I won't) I will make it into the top 12, but maybe I can keep hold of a top 100 spot...if I do 6 hours a day for the remainder, which I'm going to hopefully do.
