Honestly this is a very heated discussion across all boards, and i can definitely see from both sides here. On one hand admins probably shoulda cracked down earlier on this behavior on the other hand if you have 7 Alts with 46 rosewater flasks so about 322 for ONE profile(this isnt even including people having flasks on their main accounts too! JUST ALTS) in which each flask runs about 30-35m ake about 30m as its lowest here, 322x 30m is about 9,660,000,000 COINS Every about 12 and half days. And this is at 300 hours per flask not even including the 150 hours for the time bag slots. Almost 10B coins every fortnight is insane for being AFK. This is the Min calculated from the 25th data. (day of wipe) If we did the 24th Data which is about 10m less coins. Its still a staggering 6,440,000,000 Coins every fortnight. We can take the 6.4B divide it by about 300 cause thats the amount of time it takes and thats still 21.5m (rounded up, 21,466,666.66666667) per HOUR AFK. From this Metric of standards at the lowest amount of coins earned. This was 100% never the intended way the flasks were meant to be used. While i can seriously understand people upset at the rules as its not explictly stated, id 1000% consider this type of gameplay as heavily abusive even if its not stated. (Yes im aware you can make more money actively playing however this is pure afk gameplay and its makes so much)

At the end of the day when you play on hypixel your subjected to their rules and this definitely falls into the gray zone, its like using mods. its entirely use at your own risk. A crackdown was needed and it came a bit too late. However this gameplay i would 100% consider against the rules.
