It's not a question of getting rid of exploits it's a question of a complete revamp of the in game reward mechanics.

1) Halving event rewards in both R$ and Fame terms (that were already way too low and did not progress in line with the cost to play) 2) upping the cost of using your crew

Without spending a cent/penny/drachma of my own money I still "pay" to play this game - because I get in game ads (not the play ads for gold because that's a clear quid pro quo, I'm talking about the ads that pop up at the end of an event or that appear at the top of the screen) and I provide real information about myself (geo-location, time of day I play, how long I play for, etc - if you think those things are without value you're very wrong).
