Not mine, just reposted from some forum:

> [@](#):
>
> I have evidence that a character named MichaelPhelps has been farming gold. I also have proof that he is doing this in China. He’s been doing it for about a week and clearly intends to keep doing it. Can anything be done to stop him?
> 
> Update After relay 1:  
> It seems some folks have reported seeing him with 3 other characters, farming gold as a team. It is suspected that they’re botting, as they all move back and forth along the same path.
> 
> Update After number 7:  
> As indicated earlier, the character MichaelPhelps has now been witnessed Ninja-Looting gold, getting to it 0.01 seconds faster than the intended recipient. Just one more crime to add to his list of heinous offenses.
> 
> Final Update 8/8 full TierPhelps set:  
> Your inaction has allowed MichaelPhelps to have more gold than anyone. After all that gold he farmed from China… he’ll probably wind up with a MIllion dollars… I have it on good authority he’ll be dealing with another character named Speedo to get paid.
