at the start there was a hand full of exploits that bad apples in the community exploited to gain billions of quanta creating mega factories within the first day or 2 of the game launching. NQ tried to cover their [filtered]up by trying to sweep it under the rug as there was a non disclosure agreement for alpha play. why would anyone play a game that operates in this manner?
only way forward is to do a wipe and publicly state if you exploit all your accounts linked to you will be perma banned all assets wiped and if its a alliance doing it as a whole then all alliance members get banned and all assets wiped. it must be in the rules
