[REJECTED] Walking for Credits

I will probably get trolled a lot for this thread, but I think it would be pretty good.

I was thinking that for every block you walk, you would gain 0.1 credits. So if you walk 10 blocks back and forth 500 times (it would take 50 minutes) you would gain 1000 credits.

Pros:
-By doing this, it would encourage players to walk far from spawn to make realms.
-It would allow players to get more credits to buy materials with to build on their realm.
Cons:
-It would give players more credits, therefore allowing them to buy a realm faster and use up more land.
-It would let realms with many players to walk for a few minutes and buy many more realms because they could put all of their credits together.
-This system could be exploited very easily.

Now, the system could be exploited with flyhacks, macros and speedhacks. There are a few ways to fix this:
Flyhacks: Make it so the credits could only be gained if you walk on the X and Z axis.
Speedhacks: Not sure if there is a speedhacker kick thing, but if there isn't, one could be made so it wouldn't be possible to gain credits with speedhacking.
Macros: Make kicking system for people who use macros (non-chat).

With one person, it takes almost 8 1/2 hours to get 10,000 credits and I doubt anyone would use this much of their time on a game, but if there was a large group, I think each of them would be willing to walk for a few minutes for a realm.

This might or might not work because of the large groups of people.

I would like to see how this thread plays out and how many people would like this idea.

Thanks for reading,
Bonejunky

You could just make an macro and auto on the servers for hours, and or the you can add a flying or speed hack and make lots of lots of credits quickly without much effort.

Due to the ease of exploitation, I disagree with this idea.

Or you could try breaking / placing blocks?

I am going to say no. Cheating the system would be way to easy!

1.There could always be a bit of code created to kick people who use macros.
2. Flyhacks and speedhacks are illegal and most people who flyhack and speedhack get kicked and/or banned.

I am only suggesting this to make it easier on the noobs who come on every day begging for credits.

I'm actually thinking about starting a noob catering service. You in? 50/50 profits.

1. To help them.
2. So we don't have to listen to their continuous begging.

There are very human macros out there and they wouldn't be hard to make, imo. Also what method wouldn you use to catch macro-ers?

As for 2. I have seen too many of these for that to be true. They aren't kicked really until they are seen by an admin, and for the automactic flying kick? It doesnt seem that reliable.

1. I was thinking that if people were just walking back and forth (Ex. 321 to 322, 5000 to -5000) for a while they would be kicked.
2. Maybe the walking for credits thing would be made so it only works on the X and Z axis. There would still be a problem with speedhackers, but maybe if you walk to fast, you would be kicked and the credits that you gain will be taken away.
