Ya on fippy and sleeper we didnt have krono in the beginning, I dont think RMT was nearly as bad but sure people still sold accounts and platinum but it wasn't so easy to do, you had to have them find you on the website, now you just have to obtain the krono and then find a buyer for the krono which is a lot easier.
But damn doing the math, if it's an averaged 1.5hour respawn, and there's 16 spawns a day, with most of them dropping one prod, sometimes none or two prods, but assume 16 prods a day at 3 kr each at current rates you'd make $528/day logging in for I think the window is 10-15 minutes, every other hour?
Of course the bulk of the work is auctioning the prods, making alts to store the prods and then selling the krono so it is more time consuming on that end. But to the people around this thread that say people dont make serious money kronoquesting, this is a good example of it and you dont even need MQ2.
The reality is though that its hard to unload 16 prods a day, and each couple days or maybe week the price is going down, so profit fluctuates, but you also have the days where you get a pick in ill omen and its not hard to dominate two spawns so you could make a lot more some days.
