It's not even an exploit, let alone a massive one, it's just paying out more than maybe it should? I don't know, that's down to FD to decide!
There's no chance of it killing the "in-game economy" as there is no in game economy.
People worried about dying will play in solo anyways, and get as many credits as they like, they may then venture to open. (This is a good thing)
The top rich already have billions, so unless FD bring in station ownership starting at 10bil, it's a moot point.
Muhahahaw
I am astounded, no, dumbfounded, by CODE's brilliance, their genius, their thought provoking, revolutionary game play. I mean seriously, who could have foreseen this?, it would take a mammoth imagination to think, 'people in Sothis, must go Sothis, pew pew' - sheer brilliance. /ironymode off
Robert, in this case I would say that the blockade is for in-game and out of game reasons. Call it a superposition of reality and fiction, a little like three game modes layered on top of each other - in one existence I am visible but I haunt the two in which I am not. I can want FD to patch the mission-refresh exploit in real life - and want other cmdr's to be aware of it, while in the game my cmdr can be a socialist who is worrying that the rich will become so rich as to be untouchable, and care about my friends who have worked hard and diligently to earn their money without exploits. Like in all wars, it's always the young asps who pay the price, while the leathery old asps use their experience to arc around us.
Rise up young asps!!! Show Sothis it can not destroy the economy of the universe!!!
Yes...earning rose from average 5 million an hour for a semi experienced player, to about 25 million an hour. Is it an exploit? - It seems to me (and Kevin Bacon) like a 'no-brainer'.
Driver: if you can't see them flicking between the modes, then fair enough - I wish I couldn't either.

"The voice of open" I bet you have a little home made ribbon around your waste that says that don't you?
Can't kill what's been dead and buried for a year, friend. The economy was going to fail from the beginning by design because Frontier doesn't know how multiplayer economies work.

And yet they don't know we can go to Sothis in solo and do things that way?
Yeah, just like pad loitering was - is that the double standards bus I see coming your way CODE?
You are not going to cry now, aren't you ?
It is pointless to worry about what game mode one will choose in order to enjoy his game or not.
Just do your thing, you'll find plenty of peoples to play with.
Have fun !
That's my point though, if it wasn't for refresh people won't get 25 mil an hour nowhere near it, the spawning of those missions is not common, it is _only_ because people jump between the various online modes, that they can get many missions at high value, to get that goal, if not then they would not get enough missions, maybe once every hour or such, they'd get one single extreme value mission. So it would in essence become 'rare' and valuable missions, which is not a bad thing?

The correct RP for Sothis is thus:
Code are a pirate organization, it lives off pirating players. The other night I hung around the 2 CGs, and guess what? there are practically zero people doing the CGs now, everyone and his dog are at Sothis.
What is so wrong with Sothis from a pirating point of view? you have lots of traffic going in empty and leaving to scattered systems, it is almost impossible to pirate. With that said, Code is helping Elite Dangerous return to normality, we are encouraging people back to the CGs, their rare runs, their trade routes.
What is so wrong with Sothis from an overall ED point of view? when you could have a player who starts in the morning in a sidewider, and 8 hours later is flying a conda, something is very very wrong.
The Code will add balance, yes some will get through the blockade, some will boast how they live in Solo, that is not the point. There is an active blockade and ships are being removed as fast as we can (who disregard the blockade notice), last night it was around 30 ships.

Well said.
FD have great graphics and sound teams, but their understanding of game economy and game balance is unfortunately very poor
Ok, now you are just complaining for the sake of it.
If you think there is a bug or whatever, just fill a ticket and send it to the relevant support team and be done with it, please.
