BOT FARMING SOLUTION:

Lock points for low requirement, mass farm, easy tasks

Unlock those early points as players progress to more specialised, challenging, higher requirements challenges

This ensures airdrop points are weighted and unlocked more towards dedicated real account players with a diverse abundance of illuvium assets

I have posted the IIP that will be going forward here: https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1267866392057872466

My initial proposal(which would convert airdrop points to multiplier as mentioned in my post above) was discussed in IMC and by various members of the dev team team. Changing to the multiplier would take a LOT of back end work. I also believe there are constraints on those devs time as they are still working on improving the other game modes. This means that all airdrop points from survival mode milestones will be removed.

With the being said, we get exciting news! They should be able to have randomly generated waves unique for each account at the start of the next season. Which would eliminate this issue and rewards can resume for survival.(The reward structure will be discussed later in this season)

I understand some may be frustrated by the time and effort they put to achieve this goal(trust me I spent half a day working on it also).

In the end, the current airdrop structure has led to paying customers deciding not to spend money until this is resolved. We should never have a blocker to for players who want to contribute to the game. This is the best path forward for the longevity of the project.

i think after todays survival team we have seen that the monarch is not the core issue. wave 40 is easy achieable for some, and those few can share their wave screenshots to make it accessable to anyone. which is still fine. if you active in the community you will get a free 1mill airdrop points.

the real problem i see is people making 20 accounts and just playing to wave 40 on all of them.

is there a way to exclude accounts from airdrop points that did nothing except this milestone?

i think making it a multiplier makes sense, directly disabling multi-accounts

So what is the plan?

Monarch was a bug. So we can now change everything without going against IIP (59?)

However, today people got wave 40 without the bugged monarch.

  1. We can delete all points.

  2. We can give a small amount of points for the effort people put into it.

  3. We can ask for the team to make a multiplier that supposedly is difficult from a technological standpoint.

But in the end, future airdrop seasons wont include points for survival.

So, dont delete all points but give a small amount of points? Lets get to a concensus of how much "a small amount" should be?

Just make it a multiplier to eliminate multi accounts or make survival arena only accessible after playing and leveling for a good amount of time for any new account then the jobless degens won't have time to finish it on new accounts.

in milestones have more missions you can do in multi acc and give much more points

#

I would say that there is a very simple solution to avoid this, and that is that only the top x players (for example 5000) receive the airdrop, and that the amount is distributed by position and not by points. so becoming multi-account doesn't make sense, Or at least it's more difficult. Of course all of you who have abused or are F2P are not going to find it funny.

This game's scoring system is as disastrous as its direction. The reality is that, no matter how many points there are, it is a mission that everyone can do, the only thing you need is to copy someone, and if everyone does it on a lederboard where you only get airdrop according to your position on the lederboard without taking into account the number of points, In the end it is as if it did not exist. For these types of things other projects use that system. The Illuvium system is designed so that bots and multi-accounts can take advantage of everything they can and more, since if I'm not mistaken, it averages all the points obtained among all the players and distributes the reward percentage based on your points or something similar. . This, regardless of whether they remove that mission or not, is going to lead to people creating accounts non-stop and using bots non-stop to do the free missions and get a lot of points from the airdrop, Since the only important thing is the points you get, something that will be impossible to control. This mission will also generate an even greater appeal effect, and many people who did not know or were going to play the game will come to take their free money simply by doing that mission with many accounts. And that will cause the airdrop to be worth nothing to anyone, it will be diluted among many accounts and players, and the most affected will be the players who have spent money.

#

The logical and sensible thing here would be to create a lederboard like the one I mentioned, which is what other projects use to help control these things and make the airdrop more consistent, with a system like that you don't even have to investigate so many accounts, you just those at the top. Also considerably reduce the points of that mission so as not to force everyone to do it (I have already done it just in case), and those who have already done it by creating 100 accounts, and are already crying, complaining and saying that this should not be changed because they want to be able to take advantage and abuse, You have to ignore those people. But this is illuvium, we cannot expect them to do anything logical or meaningful, they will make a crazy decision that will lead us to disaster, as they always do.

the big problem is the alt account grabbing the 1 million point and reducing the reward pool for all of us. A fresh noob account should not be able to clear wave 40 by himself the day he create is account.

You can make money being F2P with that system, you naturally have a disadvantage but that's it. Of course here the only thing that matters to everyone is their pocket, and what I just said is not going to be of interest to many people who do not benefit from it, it does not matter if it is a better system than the current one, nor that the current one loads the game and generates infinite bots and multi-accounts, the only thing that matters is what benefits me the most.

With a lederboard you may be interested in doing all the missions, and rewarding the people who do the most difficult missions, such as capturing all the tier 5 illuvials. With the current system what is interesting is to create accounts without stopping to do the free missions, cheap and easy to make. It is nonsense, and it is impossible for them to catch so many multi-accounts. Of course the lederboard system does not interest most people, so they will try not to implement something like that and continue with something like the current one, unfair, poorly done and that creates a lot of problems, but which they can take advantage of.

ask yourself, who would invest money and time when you can make 6 accounts and by copying yourself earn 1M free points in a few minutes?

the moderators already told us that multiaccount is allowed . I myself asked when I saw milestones for the first time on beta. So I think if it's not agains the rules, things should be just the way they are now and in the second month they might focus the airdrop more on pvp so the free to play don't have a chance and the guys who spend money can keep it all

We can’t stop multi accounts without KYC. Missions are meant to mitigate that. There will be an IIP for this particular case.

It's true. I asked a lot of times. what they told me was "it's not against the rules but why would you divide your milestones"

What is IPP ?

rich tartan
# potent snow I have posted the IIP that will be going forward here: https://discord.com/chann...

I'm already thinking dynamic survival mode for every account is probably one off the best way to go on.

As i still don't think removing any arena points/millestones is the way to go.

Yesterday (30july), it wasn't any bug/exploit involved to made it to wave 40 if i'm not wrong (copying a youtube video is not an exploit imo), so i'm not sure how you can remove thoses points anyway. And anyway they will probably be more waves 40 done without any bug until this IIP is UP.

Also you completely nullify the interest for player to play arena until the end of season1 (1 september).
So expect very low players pool for 1 months, meaning few report bug as little bug fix. Bad for the arena mode.
They're obv more than 1 bug on arena who need to be fix atm. But that's another topic, right, just saying.

Not sure about that one but we should have 2 distinct IIP (Dynamic mode ≠ removal of arena points) so we can agree on one and disagree on the other.
Or at least can change tille to Dynamic Survival mode + Removing all arena pts/millestones from season 1 to make it more clear.

My humble opinion.

Low requirement, easy tasks should have locked points to prevent mass account farming

Those points get unlocked, as the account achieves more challenging, higher requirement tasks, to ensure real players with diverse abundant illuvium assets

The reality is, if you can do 1m points with 4 hours play and multiaccount, everyone's efforts will be worthless. You will have 100,000 accounts with 1M points, you will get $10 for your time if you're lucky. No one wins

Because they don't just ban accounts that were recently created and have more than 1m points almost without playing overwall, that already gives you an idea of ​​what they did.

with just 24h of time span there is 1k+ account that reach wave 40 with just 1 vid. the rest of season 1 will be not worth to grind

#

Correct, its pointless

#

The entire Illuvidex market will likely collapse, because the value of all activity is reduced. There is no point crafting your suits, weapons etc. for airdrop now

marsh hill
misty summit
#

What should be done is, delete or ban accounts that were created 1 or 2 days ago and only have 1m points, without playing almost overwall, it doesn't make sense and to increase the audience and for the market to move, they should set an arena to pay you according to where you are at the top and to pay you the rewards at the end of the season without vesting, and those rewards would come from the current AirDrop, they could allocate a % to incentivize people to put together a team and fight for the top, making the market move, people come to compete and also going to the land would make sense, because currently it makes no sense to go to a land.

To be honest, why do we give Airdrop points at all for the competitive game mode? It is literally the only game mode where there is absolutely no spend required, and no incentive to spend. At least Ascendant and Gauntlet encourage spending, OW obviously does. People can come into the Illuvium world, just play competitive mode, and never touch anything else, we really don't need to incentivise it at all.

# rich tartan and ofc multiaccounting is a know problem, team choose to tolerate it over fight...

but the team also had a clear rule that multi-accounts have to be declared as such. That means you had to name your accounts Ligyron1, Ligyron2,...
It is 100% clear that these milestones are only meant to be cleared one time per person. Therefore, any account that exists to clear milestones a 2nd, 3rd and so on time is an exploit. That includes f2p tasks and paid task (a whale could start over after clearing the easy tasks). In my opinion this behavior is a clear violation of the existing rules and should cause all accounts of that person to be banned permanently.

In terms of declaring videos/guides an exploit, I have to say, that sounds wrong because guides, coaches, friends who find something out, should be fair game.
Obv. the real unfairness (aside from multi-accounts) lies just in between valuation of milestones for paying costumers vs milestones for f2p. I see this unfairness, but I am not sure if this is correctable retrospectively because of IIP-58 since I don't see any sort of exploit for yesterdays survival leaderboard (again, aside of multi-accounting).

rich tartan
# real tusk why should spend more when its just x3 from the f2p point?

Also, we are only reacting to problem for now instead of trying to anticipe them, that's a big mistake. Just trying to anticipe 'arena survvial without points don't incentive ppl to play it', make it bad for the mod itsef to evolve in a good way as long as the icentive are in (6 months).

Clear rule mean, for me, to have them write on T&C'(they are any?) or at least on the annonucements channel by team member.Too much mess on other chan and community mod say thing that counter team thinking sometimes (no offence).

So let's say we can allow multi for Beyond and Zero, and ban them if used for OW or Arena. Looks good imo but who's gonna do the job 🙂 ? Team is crawling already.

If we can't fight multi, try to mitigate them at max. But don't kill f2p by doing it. that's it imo.

WHAT IS THE BEST IDEAS AND SUGGESTION HERE?

ionic flare
north timber
#

But yeah. Its unfair for those who only play overworld

#

So arena/ survival is supposedly for free to play players. But now since f2p earns more points faster than overworld players. They decide to remove it. But if it's a multiplier that's fine for me.

shadow sky
# ionic flare You meant, everyone wins. A small amount

Well not really, because it is bringing in players who wouldn't otherwise play, to take money from the pool of actual regular players. So if you're a regular player, it is possible that the 1m reward existing is making you win less money than you otherwise would, even if you actually also got the 1m yourself.

#

Meaning you yourself, are better off if the 1m reward never existed (if you are a genuine regular player)

mystic arch
# worn cairn WHAT IS THE BEST IDEAS AND SUGGESTION HERE?

Maybe court with previous days if that player competed in arena and usually reaches wave 29 30 or more, they realize that if they play often trying the mission and understands the game mode. Now if you see that he never played arena or never went above 9 or 10 and yesterday he happened to pass 40, reset points.

  1. the placement can affect the passage of the wave and make it impassable.

  2. if we as a guild try to close the 40th wave together, this is not considered unfair receipt, because guilds are created to help each other.

  3. why did you not raise this issue in the testnet, this is not clear.

  4. if there are no free points for players who do not invest anything, then there will be no influx of new players.

  5. you may think that it is not necessary to remove the reward for the 40th wave of survival, but you can just increase the number of points for planned milestones.

I need to invest a lot of money and more time than I have been playing to even catch up with one of these copycats, I better leave it and look for a game that rewards effort and not those who look for shortcuts.

It's just that I'm tired, I see it as very unfair, because I have been playing every day for 8 hours, writing down the illuvials on a sheet of paper one by one to get 15k points and they give them points like this

its pretty stupid to have people grinding objectives for 50, 200, 250 points. and then theres a milestone sitting there thats a MILLION POINTS which can be done no time flat.. really stretching my mind wondering why no one noticed the ridiculousness of that.

[IMC] IIP-63 Dynamic Survival Mode

I decline this proposal.

There are 2 main reasons for my vote to decline.

  1. Labs is already building dynamic survival mode, as part of a fix for the multi-accounting exploit. I think it's bad practice to frontrun a fix that is already in development with a proposal, or to require proposals to fix exploits. If anything, this portion of the proposal could be a GFP, and those proposals should be used for features NOT already being built by Labs. Using the GFP system would also result in this solution taking longer to implement, and this is time sensitive.

  2. I believe a complete removal of the points for completing survival waves is heavy handed. Multi-account exploiters can be removed entirely, but I do think there will be more collateral damage from a complete removal than from an adjustment to the point values for survival wave completions.

My preference is a solution like ICCP-XX Airdrop Points Revision. This isn't a problem we can afford to ignore, but I am inclined to choose a more equitable solution, and leave fixes for exploits to Labs.

[ICC] IIP-63 Dynamic Survival Mode

I approve this proposal.

Community sentiment:
For
98 upvotes.
Clearing Wave 40 should not give 1 million points as it can be copied.
Multi accounts may dilute the airdrop.
Disincentivize spending.

Against
42 downvotes.
Dynamic system might not be fair.
Completely removing points is unfair to genuine players.
Should reduce the points not remove.
Multiplier is more ideal.
Watching a video is not an exploit.

Personal notes:
This issue has been raised during the testnet.
I personally stopped spending too because of this.
I personally watched a video to clear Wave 40.
The Team need to decide if this is a mistake or an exploit in relation to IIP-58-R.
A mistake requires the points to be tallied and a sub-period to be created.
An exploit does not require a sub-period and allow the points to be annulled.

I can be in favour of changing the 1M points for survival wave 40, but also against the specific solution that was being voted on in IIP-63.

This isn't a binary issue. The problem needs to be fixed, there is a wide spectrum of solutions for fixing it. You've reposted my rationale, so presumably you've read it. I think legitimate players should be receiving some points for completion (not 1M), I think Labs is best equipped to determine what amount of points that is, and I think hearing from Labs that they are developing dynamic survival waves to fix an exploit, and then passing it via proposal is the entirely wrong approach to implement gameplay changes, ESPECIALLY when those features are in response to an exploit.

I do want it to be fair for spender bro, I want it to be fair for everyone.

I’m currently holding off on spending further this season due to the uncertainty of this… I wasn’t able to complete wave 40, and as such the money I’ve put into illuvium doesn’t really matter since I’m under a million points… do you know when there will be a resolution to this so I can figure out if the airdrop reward will be given out to pretty much only people who finished wave 40 or not?

I'm one member of the IMC, so I'm not gonna pretend like I speak for the group. But from all the talks we've had about this, no one wants to give the entirety of the airdrop out to abusers or exploiters.

There's a proposal that recently passed the 25 upvote threshold, and is able to go to a vote anytime the sponsor gives it the green light. #1268323065167872183

If passed, this will allow Labs to retroactively revise the points values for Survival Wave 20, 30 and 40 to something more appropriate for the difficulty and time spent to complete the task.

Using multiple accounts to complete F2P tasks repeatedly is an exploit, and Labs has authority to remove points from those accounts entirely. This isn't something we need to say Labs can do by proposal every time, it's already written into IIP-58-R.

I understand your concern, but I see no possibility of survival waves staying at 1M points. It's drastically too rewarding compared to other tasks.

Showing someone a video so they can mimic the exact steps to complete a milestone is considered an exploit. Again, it's not the video uploaders fault, or the guilds sharing it around, it is our fault (labs) for allowing this exploit to exist. But that doesn't change the fact that it is a way to exploit our airdrop system and it needs to be fixed and points invalidated. by kieran

#

We can't figure that out so unfortunately we need to invalidate all points for survival mode. It's not the best solution but it's the only way to keep it fair. I want to stress, this is no ones fault. You can't get angry at people for exploiting it. We need to be better in the future to ensure these avenues aren't available for people to game the system by kieran

Multiple accounts are actually beneficial for a project. If 1,000 people invest $1,000 each, it's the same as 1,000 people creating 5 accounts each and investing $5,000 in total (don't be mad at me, i can give example: Pirate, why pirate? so much players bought founder pirate NFT and The price of a Founder Pirate NFT is currently 1.1 Ethereum and has been as high as 1.5 Ethereum. People are creating 5 accounts and buying 5 Founder Pirate NFTs, which equals 5.5 Ethereum. This money goes to the project, which makes it a logical decision. However, now they're trying to prevent multi-accounts because their system is insufficient, causing network congestion and making people wait 6-7 hours to play the game. There's no such issue with Illuvium. We don't experience network (about Ethereum) problems. I'm ready to spend $2-3k per account for my 3 accounts, but is the team ready to lose this money?). That's the logic. Those who can do it, will. I could do it too. Many projects secretly love multiple accounts because they provide more publicity (PR). For example, they can claim they have 15,000 players already. Or in simple telegram "tap to earn" projects, there are many multiple and bot accounts, but they advertise that 100 million+ users have joined their project. That's marketing.

My recommendation is to completely remove FREE POINTS. This is the real abuse. We are here for the mainnet. We tested the game and now we want to play and have fun for money. Clearing wave 40 and getting 1 million points is neither ethical nor correct. This season is over. IMC rejected it. I hope season 2 will be better. Instead of free points, there should be incentive moves. For example, competitive tasks for everyone with rewards like FREE ACCESS to STAGE 2 - STAGE 3 fuel are better than free points. Frankly, I've allocated my budget to this project but currently have no desire to play. I'm waiting for more updates. For instance, the team hasn't clarified vesting yet. For testnet seasons, vesting was 6 months but has now been reduced to 3 months. We don't know if this will apply to the mainnet or if there will be a different vesting situation. Anyway, I hope everything will be better in season 2.

My final decision: in the next season, removing tasks that give free points like T0 - Wave 30-40 or offering them with multipliers like 1.05 would be better. Thank you.

# willow musk I'm one member of the IMC, so I'm not gonna pretend like I speak for the group. ...

F2P should be completely removed from the mainnet then. I have a budget, and if I want to play with 3 different accounts within a month, what's my fault? What can I do after progressing on one account? With the PvP mode not yet released, why should I only play in the arena, and after crafting all the suits and weapons, why should I wander around stage 3 pointlessly? I'm just asking. I don't trade on Illuvidex, and I don't intend to. The team should make a clear statement about multi-accounts. I have over 500 hours on my main account, and I would be very upset if my account got banned for no reason! I would also be upset if my other accounts got banned without an explanation after spending money on them. If multi-accounts are going to be banned, the team should announce this. If all my accounts get banned after spending a total of $10,000 on 3 accounts, it would be fraud. The real exploitation would be against the user, not the project!

Recently, a project called Pirate announced it would block multi-accounts, and people stopped logging into their other accounts. But those people had bought 1 Ethereum worth of NFTs for each account. Now, they don't log in and need to use a VPN to do so.

In conclusion, banning multi-accounts without informing users would be exploitation. I am not a free-to-play player, I don't use bots, I don't cheat, and I don't exploit the system. It would be bad to learn that my 3 accounts were banned after spending money on them.

#

Instead of adding pointless tasks like "clear Wave 40 and earn 1 million points," it would be much better to add tasks that encourage players and help new players get used to the game more easily. If you are going to send a message to the team, let it be this!! Tasks like "hunt xxx illuvial in the overworld and earn 10 crypton" would be simple yet effective. Offering free fuel through such simple or difficult tasks would encourage players to keep playing. Currently, just entering a map costs $10.5, down from $12.5 recently. If it goes up to $15 tomorrow, they won't find anyone willing to play the game. What do you want? Make a decision. Do you want an incentive program? Or do you want airdrop points erased so your earnings increase? lol.

brother, I'm not a free-to-play player. They can remove those points. T0-Wave 30-40 points can be adjusted, but I'm talking about multi-accounts. If they remove T0 and clear wave tasks, it automatically eliminates bots from the game. People who want to create and play on 2 accounts will spend twice as much money, which is good for the sustainability of the project, as it is for almost every project. Because there is no F2P.

#

I still haven't done the T0 tasks, and I don't plan to. They seem pointless to me. I want to collect Selenvium and Celestvium. I'm ready to spend money and, if necessary, lose money. The T0 tasks and clear wave tasks seem ridiculous to me. anyway, I hope someone will consider what I've written.

I'm glad we can communicate without hurting each other. The team should clearly state their actions directly. If they announce that they will ban multi-accounts after I've spent a total of 5-10k$ on three accounts, I won't log into the other two accounts from the same IP and won't risk it. However, if they say we've banned all accounts that were accessed from the same IP in the past, THAT WOULD BE VERY BAD. This would be user abuse, and I'm against it!

You speak a lot about bans here. "I have over 500 hours on my main account, and I would be very upset if my account got banned for no reason! "

I'm not talking about bans, nor do I ever mention banning anyone. I'm talking about removal of airdrop points from exploitative accounts. Just as an example, if an account has no spend history, no past play history, was created on the day a replicable Wave 40 was available, and never played again since, is that a legitimate account, or someone trying to abuse airdrop points?

Later, you're talking about Fuel prices, which are clearly high right now. They will come down as landowners continue to develop their plots. Yes, tasks could be better.

But this thread is about airdrop points, and that's what I'm talking about here. You're asking what I want - I want systems set up in a way where one bad actor can't create 10 or 50 or 100 accounts and dilute all the legitimate players out of their rewards. I want incentives implemented in a way where players think about gameplay, and gameplay optimizations, instead of thinking about how they can complain or cheat or exploit their way into more money.

# willow musk You speak a lot about bans here. "I have over 500 hours on my main account, and ...

you're right. I've already written the responses I can give to your message. My other accounts have been around since Testnet Season 1 and were not newly created. However, newly created accounts are 100% likely to be bot accounts, which means they will exploit the system.

Our common topic: We want a PAY-TO-PLAY game, not a F2P one. T0 Weapons and suits should be removed from the tasks, and additionally, the tasks of reaching x wave and earning 100k or 1m points should be changed. These tasks were already prone to exploitation. We noticed this in Testnet Season 2. Anyway, I hope our shared views align and they find a solution. Thank you. Atlas_Yeah 🫡

I mean, I do want our game to have F2P accessibility, it's just that I don't believe that accessibility can or should look like us doling gobs of ILV out to F2P players. If there are any rewards for F2P players, they could be for skill-based accomplishments. F2P tournaments once a week or once every 3 days, where the top 3 or 5 players receive some ILV. Systems like that don't dilute anyone, and they provide opportunity for players to earn without access to capital, and the incentive created there is gameplay related. Instead of advocating for "more free money for me", players can talk about how to win tournaments.

My recommendation would be to have incentive programs in place. For example, "Clear wave 40 and get a 10% bonus on all future crypton purchases from us." 🙂 It's up to the team to come up with these incentive programs, not us players. Honestly, if the team came to me and said, "Hey Emre, catch all Holo T5 S1 Illuvials and get a 10% bonus on all future crypton purchases," I'd definitely do it with pleasure. This would be a very good incentive program. Maybe for new players, it could even be 25%.

#

to trigger all players, "incentivize" is key. If you incentivize me, I might spend more time and money on this game. If you can't incentivize me, I won’t invest time and money into the game. If you incentivize bot accounts, you’ll end up losing players who genuinely want to play the game.

Don't set a precedent of retroactively applying rules to this game. Make the changes for Season 2, or you will destroy the trust in the game. There's a reason why laws don't act retroactively. I'm saying this based on the fact that multi-accounting is not forbidden, and moderators have confirmed this multiple times in the past when I asked them. Additionally, completing wave 40 is not against the rules. There is no rule stating that people have to complete it without help. Don't do this to the game. Don't set this precedent. Find another way to reward those who were harmed. Thank you! Maybe extra ILV for those who spent money on fuel based on how much they spent. something like another 10/30k ILV for those people(of course, just for season 1). It would be really, really good for the project if you guys find a solution that don't punish retroactively those who didn't break the rules.

  1. The DAO has always been able to make changes to systems. If that means not letting cheaters dilute legitimate players, that's a good thing. It's absolutely audacious to suggest that not allowing cheaters to extract all the value of the airdrop away from legitimate players is "unfair" or "destroying trust". The only trust that would remain is the trust of cheaters, in that they can extract as much as they want without fear of being punished. They can keep that trust, and put it in an appropriate place.

  2. You should read the terms and conditions. I'm not sure who told you that multi-accounting to exploit economic systems is alright, but it's not. https://illuvium.io/terms-and-conditions
    Everyone who played multi-accounts in a single day (i.e. everyone who exploited Wave 40 survival rewards) breached the T&C. Moderators do our best to explain the rules, but sometimes it's possible to be wrong. It's always best to ask for a source and/or check for yourself.

if this is on the rules, it changes everything. I'm saying assuming multiaccount is allowed because that is what was told to me by moderators. I was assuming that what was done was legal by the rules of the game. Reading that rule, I believe something like make accounts created on the 40 wave day not allowed to receive the airdrop should be the right move. but changing the points for season 1 I still think is a very problematic move

Nonsense man, armor only gives 97,500 points. And weapons take an extremely long time to gather resources. Free players are also the basis of any game. I've been playing WEB3 games for 3 years and I can clearly say that any game that despises its free players will quickly become empty.

I'm currently in the top 20. Before anyone comes to say anything.

wave 40, I agree that really is too much, it should be a multiplier. 1 million points for something so simple is harmful.
