They appear to be talking about a currency that can be earned in game or purchased, with the in game rate coming out to 50¢/hour when played suboptimally and $2 an hour played more optimally.
Sounds like Warframe to me. Fun game. By far the most gameplay I've gotten out of any individual game. The monetization (as of a few years ago when I stopped playing) was very reasonable. Stuff that mattered which cost the premium currency was cheap, making it very accessible to players earning the currency in game.
Warframe or Runescape bonds would be my guess (side note that Runescape3 is one of the very few games I've seen remove their predatory microtransactions, and it's been wonderful)
I was able to earn the minimum wage in Warframe premium currency when I really put my mind to it.
Stopped playing with thousands of hours logged after a run in with Redpoint, and support/the devs backed him up even though he's just straight up abusing power/bullying players.
Yeah I never ran into him but ffs he's responsible for so many people I know leaving the game.
I literally spent hundreds of hours just sitting in q&a chat helping players and answering questions with my autistic knowledge of the wiki. Then Redpoint got bored in region chat one day and decided to start deleting my (correct) answers. Happened again the next day, and then the next to the point where I just couldn't use chat because he had it out for me for no reason at all.
He never said a word to me but I said in chat "feels like Redpoint has it out for me" and got handed a two week full chat ban. Couldn't even talk to my friends in game. And this is right before they introduced group content that isn't matchmade so I wouldn't be able to play it. Made me afraid to use the chat.
I reached out to support and they just said "don't say his name in chat and you'll be fine". Ignored the fact that he picked on me for days despite logs proving I never said anything worth being removed, and they refused to lift the chat ban.
Any mention of him anywhere but Lemmy gets you nuked. Got banned from the subreddit for making a post about it, banned from the discord for asking about him in there, forum posts and comments get deleted, I was muted on twitch for mentioning him during a stream. I even mentioned him in a different game's subreddit when someone mentioned Warframe and the comment got removed even though I didn't say anything other than I don't play anymore because of him.
It's wild the lengths they go to protect him while he sits there bullying players for literally a decade - there are threads about him that date back to 2016.
I'm a chatty guy, I play MMOs for the friends. If I'm afraid to use the chat because one of their mods is a bully and can remove my ability to play content and earn the currency then it's not worth my time. I don't feel comfortable playing their games now. Even refunded my soulframe founders pack. And this was all with an LR6 account with a boat load of plat.
/end rant
That's really unfortunate. Are there any theories as to who they are? Why do they wield so much influence?
They're just a random chat mod, not even a paid employee. No one knows who they actually are but the common theories are nepotism or they have some kind of dirt. His name is so protected it must be someone high up in the studio that's involved. It's genuinely crazy the lengths they go to keep his name from being mentioned, but they do nothing about him in the meantime.
He was an Xbox mod so it was pretty contained back in the day but after they introduced crossplay he was able to terrorize everyone.
People will say "just don't use region chat" but he's in all of them. Just mostly in region. I didn't even have region chat enabled even he went for me.
