They put an end to it and it isn’t smart to share exploits like this, but it involved a circle of alts all sending work orders in a loop.
It’s been stopped but it is still possible to set up the loop and speed up your KP gains. It’s a lot of work and time, but the strategy was worked out on the beta.
I didn’t participate but when they returned my lost old world mats along with several 1000 severity ores I was able to start scrapping easily. Engineers can even get the chaos orb part to drop just by shuffling scrap.
I don’t think you know what you are talking about.
What did happen was that during early access some people were getting Patron Orders when they weren’t supposed to be getting them. So they could have a slight KP advantage.
Yeah that’s how it happened. I know nothing, /in my best army voice
If you think you can’t make Gold with professions now, then I would agree that you know nothing.

Time is money friend. It was a pay to win situation. Still is. You’ll put in far more time than if you refuse to buy stuff in the ah. Pay to win.
It’s just good end-stage capitalism: you have to have money to make money, but once you make enough money it’s impossible to stop, and it’s impossible for anyone to come up to compete meaningfully with you.
I’m glad I don’t do professions for gold. That would be incredibly frustrating.
This really needs to be looked into already.
I have 4 Everforged recipes that provide knowledge points, but require 25-40k of materials to complete.
If I compare this to my alchemist I can get 2-5 new patron orders a day that only cost <2000 gold of materials.
It has been looked at, the tinderboxes economy has crashed and the alloys have gone down in price similar to obsidian alloys in DF. They are still costy mind you for the patrons WOs but a lot less punishing. Will have to wait for the miners to get there KPs and increase the null stone influx to decrease it further.
Null Stone drop rate was significantly buffed last week, that’s what lead to the collapse in its value.
