Marketplace trading (buy/sell) should separately in points.

Imagine bot SepEth farmer are completing the Tier list from Tier 1-5 without even playing.

We've been playing 10hrs+ daily to enjoy and capture illuvials and these bot can easily complete the tier by buying it in Marketplace.

Please put atleast 100hrs or 200hrs minimum hour played to counter these bot sepeth farmer.

#

@lethal phoenix what do you think to add here?

radiant chasm
#

Thank you ser this way is better for gathering all feedback on this particular subject....I will redirect people here that have the same concern

sinful pivot

#

totally. only creatures captured must count. nothing bought on the marketplace

#

ive been farming sep eth lol

sinful pivot
#

Also, Since marketplace is really part of the game. We can include separate points for Trading Volume.

mighty topaz
#

Even with multiple adresses i doubt a bot can even complete all T5, did you see how expensive those things go ahah

It would be good if they blocked the deposit from wallet option. And these robots require a minimum of 300 hours.

sinful pivot
jolly rock
#

yup

ripe nacelle
mighty topaz
#

300 is more than full time job thats a stretch

I understand the concern but are we sure bots can mine that much in the faucets? From the numbers i heard and from the current price of T5s and other good illuvials i doubt bots can be efficient tbh

yo guys ( 1. ) imagine people not playing, just buying, and using eth farming bots, without playing games, is that fair?? then how will people who play 15 hours + a day in the game lose to those who use $eth bot farms ( 2. ) then we can get airdrop points by buying without playing the game? , many will use bot farm eth without playing illuvium if it's like that, uknow what i mean sir,thanks ( 3 ) 20 hour ++ 1 day i play then i can lose with peaople farm bot eth without play
only farm eth without play iluvium gg, to be honest i am tired ( 4) my friend can make eth test net arround 200 eth ++ 1 day , if u want know ( 5) So if I buy from the marketplace and qualify for airdrop, why do I play 20 hours a day and feel very tired?? better i farm bot eth ? without play iluvium?? without tired? ( 6 ) I and the people here are complaining about this, to support Illuvium better, and to be able to appreciate more people who are serious about Illuvium, not fud, I hope the team listens to us, because to be honest, playing 20 hours a day even I have to collect shards which are very difficult to get. , I even had to catch random animals to get their tier

I think requiring minimum hours played is not the way to go. Imagine the real humans playing just a couple hours being left out

We are a bunch of tryhards and illuvium maxis here but theres a lot of people who cant play much

How about we simply remove the ability to send sepeth to your wallet? Can a bot be effective with only his 1 wallet/account?

2nd option could be to remove the rule that illuvials can be bought

sinful pivot

#

The guy with his bots will just go play the required amount of time anyway, perhaps with another bot 😄

lethal phoenix
#

see mine,crazy play iluvium hahahaha 258 hour now

sinful pivot
mighty topaz
#

So for now i see 2 potential solutions

1️⃣ Remove ability to send sepEth between wallets (not viable if a single wallet can mine a ton of eth alone)

2️⃣ Remove the eligibility of bought illuvials for the airdrop points

and what about this, u guys agree with this, then how can there be people who use macros and then move and change place every 14 minutes? is that fair?@sinful pivot@mighty topaz

grand pumice
#

can't believe they casually nuked their campaign and nobody cares

gaunt urchin
#

You'd probably want to include transfers, or you're just exporting the problem.

#

It's pretty dramatic to say things like "nuked the campaign". There's like 900 Illuvials for sale for sETH right now. Someone botting sETH super hard would quickly bleed the market dry.

gaunt urchin
#

Total of 417500 Illuvials captured, just for scale.

#

I'm speculating here, but I imagine trade functionality was included because this is a beta test, and it's likely the team wanted to be able to test the marketplace alongside the game. I definitely understand the concern that it could interfere with the fairness of the airdrop though, so we'll raise the issue.

grand pumice
#

I already mentioned that this was the one silver lining, that doesn't mean this isn't the most foolish decision they could have possibly made

mighty topaz
gaunt urchin
#

It would take a ludicrous amount of sETH to get anywhere close to a full set right now. Here's some T5 S3 prices.

I'm not saying it's not an issue, but keep in mind that if people are buying for those prices, the prices will rapidly increase.

#

These are the only 7 T5 S3 listed right now as well.

#

Not a lot of value for someone to be selling these for sETH either, considering your options are:

Keep it, get something from the airdrop.
Sell it, get sETH which carries no value.

lethal phoenix
gaunt urchin
#

Yeah I don't want sETH botters getting anything either.

grand pumice
gaunt urchin
#

Why will they do that?

#

What's the motive to do so?

grand pumice
#

Seriously? Not only is this already happening, but people will do it to rejuice their seth for fuel.

gaunt urchin
#

There could be someone unwilling to find a sETH faucet on their own, who wants enough sETH to play more than they are otherwise able to.

# mighty topaz Im glad you guys brought this up. It is for sure a valid concern 💯

Yes, because I'm a player who plays Illuvium 15-20 hours a day in the Illuvium game, farming shards, materials, catching animals, it would be very sad if I lost the point airdrop by someone who bot farms Eth without doing anything, without playing the Illuvium game but can win airdrop points because you get lots of sets from the marketplace

I think to be fair to the whole PB4 or open beta, the same thing applies to trading, not counting the airdrop points, because in fact private beta is not harmed, they get a lot of profits, private beta doesn't reset anything in open beta, and even private beta gets more time to catch animals than open beta, so there is no significant loss for private beta test players if trading is not counted as points, in my opinion it is like that

high gull
#

liquidity will dry up quickly anyways in the marketplace now that all illuvials are included towards airdrop.. nobody will sell then i bet.. because you are selling something you would have gotten airdrop points from, so i dont see this as a major issue.

grand pumice
#

🤦‍♂️

high gull
# grand pumice 🤦‍♂️

but if someone can farm 200+ ETH on sepolia per 24 hours, and people are selling their T5 illuvials still, then yeah not ideal i agree to that

ripe nacelle
#

People will sell because they lack eth. For those who use bots, this market is perfect, it has high liquidity and high supply.

#

Yesterday the number of Tier 5 went from 47 to 122

jolly rock
#

tbh i was expecting the airdrop points would be coming from in-game activities like:

  • catching
  • fusing
  • leveling up stage 3 illuvials
  • winning arena matches
  • IZ upgrading buildings and selling fuel
    but it looks like the team took the easy way to calculate points
ripe nacelle

#

tbh i have almost 200sep eth, and it feels wrong to just buy

#

i agree with this idea, if we want to test illuvidex, just give airdrop points to trading volume

the most important part of ILV is the arena, if we are not testing that then whats the point other than giving out tokens

#

currently our economy depends on demand from arena players

gaunt urchin
#

Just did a little digging around on testnet immutascan - It's always a little janky pulling txns off there so don't take this as law, there could be data missing.

In the last 13 days, it looks like a total of 310 wallets have traded Illuvials specifically. Biggest spender was $547k worth of sETH, over 29 transactions. Average spend was $26k worth of sETH. Average txn count was 6.3 per wallet. Most txns by any wallet was 79, and that wallet spent ~20k of sETH. About 1950 txns total.

Approx. 0.46% of all captured illuvials, assuming none were traded multiple times. Some probably were, I didn't check for that.

#

🤦‍♂️
0.46% is absurdly high btw, without even getting deep into it

#

There needs to be a community vc or something, council members/devs need to do the right thing

#

As if the trading volume doesn't have something to do with traded illuvials being recently updated as counted

jolly rock
#

oh yea i bought some illuvials after the announcement lol

#

thats the thing about airdrop, i will find the easiest way to win some tokens.

grand pumice
#

I personally don't mind preparing to participate in gamifying the market, I just think these behaviors as currently incentivized are generally repulsive and against the purpose of the campaign

#

well ive been asking the team to announce the rules since a long time ago. turns out they still figuring it out

It's beyond me that anyone is looking forward to seeing sepoliawhale.eth at the top of the leaderboard with 1/4 of the playtime of everyone else

jolly rock
# grand pumice But you can influence them, no?

all i can do rn is keep posting and giving my opinion.
ive farmed a few P2A and other airdrops. This one seems to be under prepared.
unless theres an IIP to change something thats all i can do

does it help yes, but not entirely

I just sold a t5 I caught for 125eth to buy all the upgrades, why should I be blacklisted? I have played idk almost 100 hours since private beta. If the wallet with a lot of eth played a lot of hours they shouldnt be black listed for market selling to sep eth bulk miners. Assuming they exist. Then we got to talk about the Illuviual supply which the team did a good job with. Stage 3 tier 5 feel super rare.

Trades are different than buys you can actually send an illuviul to someone on imx and have them agree to send back, hand shake thing so v risky lol. Did you mean to say market buys? I get you think it is the best way but I disagree, so i am asking for a reason why I, in the above scenario, wouldnt deserve some airdrop. Like markets are part of web3 games and I love that, so much better than the control in web2 imho. So if I grind and sell something I earned without cheating, it doesnt make sense to punish me for just playing another aspect of the game.

I don't think it's fair to make this change after having already changed it once, I lost 2 T5 stage 3 because I needed shards and they made a change that left me losing 2 T5 stage 3 for nothing. Now I sold 2 to buy one I didn't have, and now you want to cancel all my transactions? btw the 2 I sold I upgraded to 57k xp. If you want a way to discourage some players to help others, you are on the right path XDD

I hear ya man, and thanks for the content and that google points tracking sheet, I appreciate it. I love the market aspect of web3 games though and if it is that central to the game and neccisitates rigourous testing. Then it shouldnt miss out on incentives. Also, we aren't really testing a market if you get rid of incentives. Like comparing poker games where one is for bottle caps and the other for 1000s of dollars, same ppl are going to behave differently in the 2 scenarios.

some of my friends farmed eth testnet bots, and afk used macros for 14 minutes to move places so that AFK wouldn't get caught but they haven't bought up illuvial on the market because they're afraid, maybe they will buy up illuvial tier 5 at the last moment the open beta test ends hahahahahahahahaha 👀

#

There is a lot of cheating that can be done in this open beta test rule, therefore it needs to be fixed

stoic rivet
#

Maybe a better condition would be to capture 2-3 Tier 5 Illuvials to be permitted

lethal phoenix
#

that's why I say airdrop point trading can be cheated

#

trading point good for mainet, not good for testnet because can farm bot eth

@stoic rivetfor now I am ready to prepare hundreds of eth testnet for the final day of the open beta test hahaha if this trading can still be used as a point

haughty scarab
#

So, I'll just say from my POV. This is a non-issue. It simulates a "real" trading environment where your Illuvials are actually "worth something" in this case Airdrop points. So there is some value in simulating this real world economy. People might be able to sell their extra Illuvials to get more sepETH in order to play more to gather Illuvials they need. But there were several other factors discussed the <@&814435151307866142> could weigh in on their thoughts as well.

lethal phoenix
#

you can choose

  1. Humans who play Illuvium seriously and work hard

2.makes it easier to bot without playing illuvium

  1. illuvium is a good game, it's very disgusting if a lot of cheating occurs, that's why it's necessary to close leaks in the rules that can be cheated 🫂
haughty scarab
#

and like Scoriox said this is also dependent on people selling these Illuvials. People would be actively selling their airdrop points essentially for sepETH.

stoic rivet
lethal phoenix
#

@haughty scarab@stoic rivetimagine, it took me several days to increase my illuvial xp so that it could be fused to stage 3, not to mention that I had to look for shards which took several days

then it appears, people who don't play but have a lot of eth testnet can buy easily and get the set they want haha ​​gg

#

Do you feel the pain and fatigue?

stoic rivet
#

Don't forget I built several scripts to check what I did and didnt buy off the illuvidex since the ingame UI didnt have it.

lethal phoenix
#

@haughty scarabthen if the team continues to maintain trading in airdrop points, for now it is better for players to sit back without getting tired, farm eth, use macro 14 minutes to move places, and wait for a lot of eth then buy it on the market to get the set they want hahahaha

lethal phoenix
#

rules that can be cheated, need to be closed, that's why this discussion exists, because honestly illuvium is a difficult and tiring game

haughty scarab
#

A lot of stuff is listed from PB4

#

before we made this change

#

A lot of them sold Illuvials not knowing this change was coming.

lethal phoenix

They are actively selling their airdrop points though or their mega hunt tickets

in a sense, it gives us and the team some insight on players behaviour

Maybe there could be a quick manual check of the top 10 or so and see if there is someone with very little game time but just baught T5S3s and decide if to exclude them

Selling and buying on the market is a big aspect of Illuvium.

People should be able to grind sEth with ingame assets on the market, to buy the last missing piece(es) for their collection.

#

But yeah totally agree ppl that aren't even spending time ingame, shouldn't be able to claim big chunks of the airdrop.

We need to exlude those 100%, so why not this?

50% of each tier must be captured/fused to claim the full set point bonus.
If more than that are bought they'll only get the Illuviums all stages points.

Additionally have all airdrop claimers have at least 20h onchain proofable playtime.

That will reduce exploits drastically already and it's still fair conditions for the casuals and grinders

ripe nacelle
#

That's a good idea, but 20 hours seems too few to me. Minimum 100 hours.

sinful pivot
#

Take note that the Campaign is "Play to Airdrop" not mine to buy for Airdrop.

That's why Marketplace Trading volume should be separated from point system.

Missing piece on our illuvial list? What's the essence of "FUSING" if we don't play and level our illuvials and fuse it to get that missing piece of ours. We all knew that stage 1 illuvials are abundant.

Someone will need to submit this idea in the governance idea section. We need 25 upvotes there to bring to a council vote.

Since this message I have learned more of the reasoning and gathering data from the Illuvidex and to sort out any bugs in important for the testnet and without trading included that data may lack.

With that being said if the community wants to push this to council we can certainly do that. Get the 25 👍 in governance ideas first though.

# lethal phoenix <@115282490033176581>already 34 👍 now

Really the first 10 addresses that have less than 100h, and are in the top 10, should be disqualified because their purchase on Illuviumdex can be checked very easily.

The others who traded sold 2-3 times in order to buy what they don't have or sell what they have a duplicate of, and in addition they have over 100h, that's called fair playing and grinding.

I have over 300h and I only managed to buy T5 S3 once for 120ETH. I collected that for a very long time.

You didn't really understand our proposal very well. This is not about someone who has collected 500sep ETH but has played 200+ hours, e.g.

This is about people who don't play the game but mine sepETH and just send it to their wallet and thus buy everything there is on the market. That's what it's about.

The one who plays and collects ETH and has 500 coins, we do not say that he is a problem, nor are such players.

For those people, 100 hours seems very little to me, if they have the ability to mine eth sepolia with many wallets they can easily hire someone to play for them. Here in Argentina or the Philippines you can play 12 hours quietly for 5 USD a day.

The best way to handle this is to exclude those wallets right now before they start adding up hours.

Building on from the townhall and the team saying they want trading to occur to simulate an economy

If we just make tier 5 stage 3 illuvials bought on the dex not count. Everybody wins. Its completing the tier 5 lines that takes the most points away from people actually playing. Leaving all the other illuvials eligible so people are still actively trading and simulating an economy to complete their collection

What a great discussion everyone. So many valid points.
I wonder if it could be simplified, to leave to the teams discretion how they reward players who have paid high (unrealistic) amounts of Seth to reach air drop rewards?
I do believe it's important the game has the market place tested and I do see people, only spending and playing the market, without playing the game in the future.
I do assume they will be a minority though.
Every aspect of hard core player, trader, grinder, casual, collectors, players who play to sell all items or specific items, they will all be part of the economy.
Every aspect of testing is important.
I think the team should be able to identify those who are abusing the system, and act accordingly.

I'm just going to leave this here in order to hopefully move the conversation forward and avoid half-baked solutions. Here is a formulation I have discussed with a few people:

The focus ought to be on purchased T5 Stage 3s. To the highest extent, these circumvent necessary gameplay and allow sepETH whales to come in at any time and extract an unjustified amount of value from the campaign.

The proposed change:
-Purchased Tier 5 Stage 3s will forfeit the entire line bonus as well as the respective proportion (1/6) of the tier completion bonus.

This accomplishes the following:
-It avoids too heavily penalizing those who have 'swapped for completion', for example, by selling an Adorius and buying a Phosphorus, as they still retain the vast majority of their tier completion bonus and organically captured line bonuses.
-Thoroughly restrains every single potential sepETH whale that may slowly accumulate and fill their collections with a large quantity of purchased S3T5s throughout the campaign, evading the hundreds of hours of gameplay these activities require
-Ensures that authentic players are rewarded (especially those whose sets are 100% captured solo) in accordance with the spirit of the campaign, which is to playtest the game, not to rapidly accumulate testnet ethereum

I agree that something should be done against bots. Trading in the marketplace to complete what is left after you have played +100 hours is ok.. but not playing the game and just buying everything With infinite money in multiaccounts is a disrespect to those who are testing and hard working in the game.

I believe that as long as others follow the rules, they should be granted the same rights during the announcement, whether it's trading, capturing, or purchasing. Now you think you are a common player on the test network and want to deprive others of the right to receive airdrops. This is very ridiculous. I have reason to suspect that after the mainnet launch, you will want to ban purchases for participating in PVP (the reason might be that you can't afford it yourself, isn't this very funny?). Since others can go mining, why don't you? Everyone is making their own contributions to this market.

lethal phoenix

#

I made the above statement not because I purchased some in the market; on the contrary, I have hardly bought any T5s in the market. I just find this kind of discussion sad. It's astonishing that some people think it is justified to cancel others' rights to receive airdrops.

#

Community voting governance is meant to ensure that things follow the correct process, not to protect the rights of certain individuals (such as those without testnet ETH). I believe that the right to vote should not be abused.

#

I have been following this project for three years. I truly hope that no one abuses certain community rules for selfish reasons. I wish for this to be a great game.

how about people who genuinely farmed illuvials or ores, sold them and bought T5 S3?

#

what you want is to limit or stop the bridging of sep eth
and increase the daily claim

#

i just saw someone in OW chat who is using 100 emails to claim from faucet and buying lower tiers S3

#

the idea is good, but it could punish real players and moving the issue to lower tiers

grand pumice
# jolly rock how about people who genuinely farmed illuvials or ores, sold them and bought T5...

None of those players would be capable of acquiring more than a small handful of t5s throughout the whole campaign, and even if they wanted to, this solution still leaves an incentive for their purchase.

Those who spam lower stage t5s still have to put in a massive amount of time to level them. It's not nearly as big of an issue. The purchase of stage 3 illuvials directly evades the gameplay portion.

#

I was against enabling the market in general. I agree that there are more abuses than what is being mentioned here. I'm just trying to reach some kind of amicable decision

jolly rock
#

we need to identify the root cause and fix that, not the result

#

the root cause is allowing people to bridge sep eth

grand pumice
#

The root cause is enabling a sepolia testnet market with a significant amount of implied USD value. I don't see anyone advocating for its total shutdown. The discussion needs to be more productive than this.

yea because people still need to bridge due to high hyperiod cost

grand pumice
#

An individual with 2000 sepeth can't instaclaim 50k points through buying hyperion

#

But under these conditons 'abuse-faucet-to-airdrop' is in full effect, so maybe we should move toward coherent solutions

some people might want to speculate on airdrop like these top buyers, some people might want to sell illuvials for sep eth

I completely agree with your view. We shouldn't restrict others' trading just because they have money. Testnet ETH also has value.

#

When others ask you why you are buying a large amount of testnet ETH, you can say, "I'm playing Illuvium." This is a form of indirect promotion and contributes to the ecosystem's value.

Compared to market trading, I am more worried about AFK (away-from-keyboard) points. I fear that many studios are exploiting AFK points to win a large number of airdrops. The 15-minute AFK detection is ineffective against studios.

Changing and restricting airdrop points to only capturing and fusing right now is not a good idea imo.
It's not fair to other people who already sold some of their illuvials to use that sETH to purchase other one to complete a line/set.
What I think should be done (if possible) is to restrict sETH deposit and increasing the daily claim to 1 sETH so that there is a level playing field for everyone without killing the marketplace. It's good to have a functional marketplace for testnet before going mainnet.

For the Catch Them All event it should be valid since it was established before the event, but due to the abuse of the faucet and multiwallet the additional points for catching more than 1 line of a certain Tier this should only apply to those caught.
