Some of the exploit problems we already had were significant, and led to some challenges (on-going) around community management.

You can see that "Latos Economy Expansion" is on the Current Direction Goals sticky.

But, there's also a lot of un-sexy stuff around player administration, abuse mitigation and exploit management that are on that list as well.

Basically, I can't afford to spend weeks doing forensic-accounting of exploits and related player "money/item and multi-account laundering" every time there's a problem. The blowback from past exploits has, in some cases, sucked up months of time.

So, we're trying to build enough infrastructure that managing future issues is less complex and developer-intensive. But, the tradeoff is that building the infrastructure and tools are complex projects themselves.

I get that this Suggestion is really intended to just be a minimalist expansion, and I'll take it under consideration. But, the issue is more the amount of damage that some people can and are-willing to do in a short period of time, and how that can end up unwinding or stalling months (or years) of effort for us.
