Possible GIM exploits

Recommended Posts

Only making this list so that possible exploits are fixed or addressed before the release of GIM to keep the spirit of the game mode alive.

1. Achievement rewards/runex point farming.
Early game achievements are really easy to do and will award a lot of supplies, skilling gear and runex points. If a group has 1 spot open, they can constantly make a new GIM, add it to their drop, grind out the early achievements, claim the rewards and bank everything [Spend RX points on stuff as well] and then de-iron the account. Resulting in the 5th slot being open again and this step can be repeated.

2. Donor upgrade box farming.
When attaining a new donor rank, you also get rewarded with a box of supplies and some random gear. Much like the above exploit, new accounts could be added to the group, use a $100 bond, get all the extra boxes, transfer the donor rank to an active account in the group, bank the rewards and de-iron. 

3. Scamming.
Not an exploit, but one player can ruin the accounts of the other 4 if they get angry or just have enough of the game by dropping/stealing the entire groups bank. 
Not much can be done about this, just pick group members you can trust. 
Perhaps we can make sure that GIM dropped items do not appear to anyone, allowing dropped items to be refunded to the team given certain circumstances.

Great topic!

1. I think this could be partially beeing solved just by removing the option to let others join your group after it has been made. Maybe a popup at the start of the GIM what teamsize you're choosing and who you want in it. Once selected, it's locked.

2. I'm in favour of a non-donator playstyle for all GIM players, Fair for everybody, no pay to win. (Sorry for all you out there with mom's creditcard).

3. No solution for this so far besides a lending system instead of a trade system. Yet this would give problems with items taken to wildy,
