As the topic says i have a suspicion that MA might be screwing over their player-base intentionally.
It seems that they may change how the system works in regards to how much knowledge you have
on how the system works.
As an example i can take my mining.
Usually when i come back from a break i can follow the veins (ie i don't run in a straight line, but i turn and twist and follow the vein and mine both ore and enmatter)
and basically stand on top of each claim i hit mining the way i do, i would say roughly 80% of the time the claim pop up within 10m from my drop point. And i get a hit
rate between 28-35% which should be considered good, i also most often know in what area to mine to be in the right spot for bigger claims (don't ask me how
)
But after one or two of these runs (150 - 200 ped runs)where i most often make a small profit even without a global the system all of a sudden changes and claims are no
longer following the same logic and it get's a LOT harder to follow the vein. Usually the vein is pretty straight and i can follow it as it turns but when the system changes claims
end up doing much bigger turns and can be zig zag, turning backwards etc instead of a more "straight" line.
If this is indeed true it's highly unethical of MA as they punish the users who know the system and makes it harder for them. King (the maker of candy crush) was for instance under suspicion
of doing this type of thing that if you where good at the game they made it harder to make you more likely to buy in-app purchase powerup's. But they quickly came out saying that such a behaviour
they would never do as it would be highly unethical.
But knowing MA and their former CEO from the time i was an intern there, this in my eyes would be exactly something MA might do.
Of course there could be another reason for this but it seems to be to much of a coincidence that it always seems to happen after a few good runs.
I don't have any evidence but it's my gut feeling that the system changes depending on how well you do by how much you know of the system.
Has anyone else noticed a similar pattern? And i also don't know if this also happens with hunting etc, but it's more visible when mining i think as mobs are already shown on the map while doing that activity.

Putting tinfoil hat on is the only thing that can help.
