Pretty Much it i agree with the idea but no the method, 20 minutes is really, really long. Were talking a 1000% increase in time to stop a handful of Scripters.
Meanwhile i have basically stopped paying any attention to the game at all because there are 6-7 hour windows where i don’t need to do anything. It went from an Idle game i was comfortable with letting run all day and checking in on every 60-90 minutes, to a game that is just eating up resources(Because Adobe Flash is horrible), while i am trying to play other games.
Maybe bring the timer down to 5-8 minutes, otherwise there isn’t enough to keep me interested in letting it run all day taking up 1/4 of my memory with the terrible Adobe player.
That or allow some kind of Offline Exp gain like most other Idle games so i don’t need it open in my background causing system lag while i am playing ranked games in LoL.
This doesn't make sense. So you had no problem letting it run all day, eating up your resources while you played other games, but now that you don't have to interrupt those other games quite as frequently, all of a sudden letting the game run all day and eating up the exact same resources is an issue? If it's using 1/4 of your processing power, it's time to upgrade. There is already a bonus in place as well, so feel free to have this game closed completely while you play LoL, then hop back on afterwards and use up that +50% bonus.
This also wasn't to stop scripters, but to even the playing field. Now those people that don't have time to check every 4-5 hours or w/e it was at, can just let it sit for a long time and not worry about their energy capping out for hours at a time. Scripters are able to have this done for them automatically every time their energy is full. They miss out on nothing. This system is far better for everyone that doesn't script. It's not like you have to do much anyway. You select a tree, hold enter. You go into your mine, you hold enter. You're done both within 30 seconds (maybe 2 min on your rig).
