Let me suggest the obvious.
MA creates a Game Integrity Team. I know, I know... Mindblowing idea!!
Given the small playerbase, 3 guys could do a schedule all around the week and investigate data from avatars who are way above the averages, be it number of hours played, ROI. They have all data, it is not that hard to follow some metrics, create some triggers of possible cheating and have someone policing the playerbase.
It´s not like other real cash skill based games have a team like that because they want to. But because they NEED to in order to have their brand be respected and trusted!!

I don´t want to hurt any feelings, but these ideas are all absurd from the perspective of what this game is and needs.
The Game Integrity and Security is of the sole responsability of the developers and MA. And they need to step up their game if they want to take the next step.
In fact I read the 2014 fuckup and subsequent changes to loot 2.0 and capped returns as an admission of MA of not being able to keep the game safe from exploits and cheaters.
If we add to this the refusal of MA since then to any change that could re-activate the economy, it further proves the point they are not ready to take the next step and make Entropia a skill based RCE gaming platform. They cowerded in 2014 and didn´t get out of the hole again, confortable as they are milking the cows...
After almost 20 years of Entropia. Still no communication with playerbase and the playerbase has not a single player or group of players that acts as representative of the playerbase to MA.
There are reasons why I keep my investments as low as they are in Entropia. Having thousands of dollars stuck in game that clearly does not have a Game Integrity Team, who does not communicate with the playerbase and makes arbitrary changes that are hurtfull to the players and profitable to the company is not what I have as a good investment.
I do it for a bit of fun, chatting and challenge only at this point. When/if conditions change I might turn into an investor and a recruiter.
