Challenges & Goals
In-game Economy Disruptions by Frequent “Gold-Farming”
Gold farming studios – specialized studios repeatedly exploited in-game systems to mass-produce resources and in-game currency, leading an abnormal supply inflation and price volatility in the in-game economy, posing long-term risk to player retention and ecosystem health.
Cheating Behavior Undermining PVP Fairness
The continuous emergence of cheating tools such as game accelerators, memory modifiers, and virtual-machine–based exploits significantly increased detection complexity and compromised fairness in PVP combat.
