This is indeed interesting. Anyone know what the threshold for contributors for recording globals is in EL? Also how wider is the scope? Planet wide? It makes sense that it isn't too low, but if a planet is unpopulated especially by people running trackers this is major bump in the road.
I think it just goes to show that MA could seriously do with some sort of public API for game data or at the least expand reporting capabilities to Land owners.
I was pondering could EL owners offer a financial incentive to players running the tracker but I guess this might be open to abuse... maybe they could say the avatar has to be a year old or min skill level to prevent multi account abuse. Dunno. Maybe they could offer dynamic incentives based on time of day and location so if say Ark gets low on contributors at any one time they could up the financial incentive for that time period to get players to help out.
Dunno... certainly an interesting problem though. Maybe EL could fund the financial incentive by asking for contributions from the Land Owners who are actively running events. and scale the required contribution based on the activity level on the LA...
