This artifact was named "Dimensional Alloy" and sold for 500 (?) Credits at Mega Base. One would drop in every Kneall Punisher wreck, and five for each Decimator, accounting for its incredible spawn rate and ease in defeating and farming them.[[File:TGCW2_Ticket-1072.jpeg|thumb|Slimyorca greenlighting the abuse]]They were promptly "replaced" with Plasma Batteries, a similar artifact. However, these old Dimensional Alloys were warehouse transferable. The player could then travel to Frion I on a public server and interact with the unfinished "Enigma Cache" Quest. | ||
'''For''' '''each''' '''Dimensional Alloy,''' '''$500,000 credits were paid to the player.''' | |||
Sometime before the incident began, a ticket in the Official Galaxy Discord was opened by a mannered player, inquiring about if it was okay to use the obtained Dimensional Alloys to complete the quest. A Galaxy Admin (SlimyOrca) replied with what was essentially permission to do the quest, as seen in the image below: | |||
Afterwards, more players presumably completed the quest under the assumption that it wasn't punishable to do so; as a Galaxy Admin gave permission in response to the inquiry. The incident went public on April 28th, 2021. However, the fire truly started about a day or two before, within the staff chats. | |||

She asked if everyone agreed. Two admins, Logan_Bowers (Loggue) and SuperChip15 (ChipsOmen) disagreed with the matter... They were threatened with '''demotion'''. This ignited the staff team's discontent towards purple's habits and ways, especially Loggue. | ||
On April 28th, 2021, four admins - asd1232468, ChipsOmen, Loggue, and CaptainLosticJR were demoted for the abuse of the formerly-mentioned Enigma Cache quest. An old shipmaster/dev had left the quest lying there after he was demoted. The current Dev, PataNautic (Pata) unknowingly added the material needed to complete the repeatable quest. The rewards yielded 500K credits, and the materials were far too easy to obtain with a single dreadnought or carrier. | |||
Players and Galaxy Staff alike used the Enigma Cache quest to gain massive amounts of credits, and therefore ships. The administrators who abused the quest were demoted and blacklisted from ever obtaining a staff position again, players were logged on sight in public servers, and many accounts were either manually flooded with [[Artifacts|Debt Coins]] or simply wiped altogether | |||
This is most likely what inspired the {PS} label for private server quest logging. | |||
