Summary

I’m not sure if Epic is aware of this yet or not, but some creators’ whole lobbys (including mine) are being lagged out to a completely unplayable extent by a duplicating resources exploit and then using a auto-click software to spam drop at one place… Mostly happens in Roleplay/Open World islands where drop item is enabled setting is Enabled.
I have multiple video proof sent to me from people in my community that are literally forced to leave lobbys because of the lag caused by the auto-clicker software which apparently cannot be detected by Epic’s anti-hack system. Those are known griefers that are known for ruining communities and it really sucks that we cannot do anything as Creators to stop them other than removing Item Drop feature from island settings for all players…

Easy solution: Item Drop Cooldown feature. We desperately need a feature that enables a drop cooldown in between item drops that cannot be bypassed by a auto-click software. That, or a functional Trade System.

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1: Duplicate Game Resources by using various bug exploits like timing the drop right before you die to any explosive and then backing out to lobby. Or another way I’ve been told is bypassing spawn immunity by using a teleport and then having someone kill you right before you drop the resources/item and then exiting the lobby. List goes on.

Step 2: Use a auto-clicker software to drop hundreds and thousands of resources in a insane speed that causes everyone in the lobby to lag to an extent they cannot move at all or even crash their game.

Expected Result

Easy solution: Item Drop Cooldown feature. We desperately need a feature that enables a drop cooldown in between item drops that cannot be bypassed by a auto-click software. That, or a functional Trade System.

Observed Result

Easy solution: Item Drop Cooldown feature. We desperately need a feature that enables a drop cooldown in between item drops that cannot be bypassed by a auto-click software. That, or a functional Trade System.
