Running essence is something that's been in the game for a long time. Law and nature running used to be a thing, so how is ZMI running any different from that and why is it only a big problem now?
Mainly because we wish to address the discrepancy between the blog and the current rates.
Though running has always existed, we can't dispute that perhaps when we polled it it may have been disingenuous to give XP rates that weren't theoretically the highest with things like running - by quite a substantial amount.
We intend to leave running with existing methods that existed prior to the ZMI as we do agree it's a method which has always existed in the game.
Looking back on our archive we also took into consideration that during much of the original time of ZMI’s existence when running was prevalent, free trade was restricted.
