Instead of grinding for xp, I'm grinding for funds to pay for training. Since I only play a few times a week, the gold squish will kill my chances of saving any money.
The whole idea sounds like a lazy solution to a bot problem. Surely there are other solutions... limit gold trades per hour, squish a top percentage of richest players, look for players with weird gold/level ratio... something!
