One possibility is that people are just logging into their own camping chairs cause it occurs to me that if you get a bunch of computers and sit in your own camp chairs, you can recycle the L$ back into the kitty and farm the dwell.

Is there some reason you needed to start a whole new thread just to say that?

Well, I didn't want to insinuate that anyone specifically might be doing this.

Plus I'm not really one for hijacking other people's threads, cause I really wish they wouldn't do it to me.

Why not just sit in your own sim and not pay anyone anything? Would be rather annoying to have to transfer all that cash around.

Well, that might be a tad suspicious.

Why would you need camping chairs to do that, there, sport? I betcha a wood box would work just as well.

Keep on posting these threads, though, I'm sure you'll hit on something meaningful, champ!

I think it would be more fishy that there are 10 people in a sim with a relatively similar IP address....Sitting in camping chairs...

Well, getting IP addresses off different subnets isn't that particularly challenging.

It's also probably the first problem that farmers have to solve when setting up shop, as it's fundamental to all MMOs that have farming possibilities.

Very true but then again the amount of time and money someone would need to put into an operation like that without anyone catching on.... (like yourself Blaze, who I'm sure will be on the look out, beware evil doers!)Compared to there current operation, that is more in a gray area(to be determined?) would it really be worth it? Dunno but I don't think I'll waste that many braincells trying to figure out, it hurts enough as it is.

It's a good question.. a lot of it depends on how much money they make from dweloper incentives.. I'd love to know the answer to that. But you add in the revenue from the shopping and such, plus daily dwell and whatever else, and suddenly it becomes interesting.

Plus people get oddly desperate to show up at the top of the popular places.

One possibility is that they just disable the camping chairs when they're using their own accounts. Or they just "log off". A lot of these chairs only pay you when you stand up.
