After long time I decided to do something good for this game again. We made several reports to staff team, but nothing had changed in last 2 months.
TO ALL STAFF TEAM...THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOUR WORK...
Everything started for me 2 months ago, when I wanted to transfer weps from stock company at 0.01 local market price and the second I placed the offer, I got logout from the e-sim.

ok, I said...lucky man. But then I got multiple information from a lot of different players that this had happened to them too. So I did a little digging. Because everything was pretty suspicious, I decided to do a quick test if there is an automated software behind this. I placed on 2 different market 500 q1 weps at local price 0.01. Both test were successful and the weps were buyed around 10 seconds after I place them on market. (no Dule123 wasn't in Slovenia at that time...10 seconds after he buyed my weps). Luck? Maybe, but as I wasn't the first I decided to take everything to SGO, who told me, that he was already reported and GA (kMeel) will take a look into this. I sent personal message ingame to kMeel with all proofs I made.

(this weps I lost during the tests)
well same things is happening these days:[img=624x323]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Cwgz1eaX56xzWMbVPBVijmAoIvIK2aZ_zQa5Ngq3qrBZ-Cy430OUPmLC8egIlFJQixcdU6Ol6WAlr3-nbIP9TITOaJANRSEVB4003S_4ePUwPVr6r698popImg[/img]
(thank you for these screenshots Madgremlin)
So we went to support channel again, and GO told me that he will take a look. But 2 minutes later, he says that he can't check logs and he will forward everything to SGO. I told that SGO forwarded everything to GA 2 motnhs ago. Then SGO comes online so I ask what is about this and again...SGO can't check logs so everything will be forward to GOA. 2 days after...still nothing (GO and SGO if you can't check logs, what the hell can you do? How much time per day some player spent in toilets taking a shit?)
well this last screenshot from Madgremlin is great under 7 second to buy goods from local market! LUCK? MAYBE
but let me do some test around this:
system where I will do this tests:

internet test: [img=624x480]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/lBgwciXGpSwAFZk-DS9FoS0fQZWf0t3KkiZ_APg47AhOrDPEMb0ZUDcErQ3O94KXAnLlxCdIA5Iw96O0xKHUP3IFyRrQs3X0jSPE1ks80dQqN2y_TakEndnx0A[/img]
so on next screenshot we can see that he needed to buy gifts in max 6.99s since the offer was placed. [img=624x323]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/cVXnAcIvfdw_Gd3DSvv1DsflkwIU_wTY0hVIg6bh334B0gOHWKrF4zIASqdK_rDfKBAkn_zKtFK6oux9nY6rESMg1OaHkMA-dqQoZ8fgL7zXSFeEFcnRejp12Q[/img]
Can we buy goods in this time? Lets take a look:
first lets check how much time we spent for communication with server (I used traceroute to trace the package):

in average server needs to respond around 170ms (0,17 second)
to buy good from market you need:
- page refresh
- send information to server to buy
in total we spend only for server comunication 2 x 0,17s if we have everything ready so 0.34 seconds is gone.
6,99s-0.34s= 6.65s LEFT.
YES WE CAN BUY GOODS IN 0.34 SECONDS. However your page needs to be loaded at least once in this time (you can't see goods if page isn't loaded right?). For this test I used Opera with opera turbo on and no images to be loaded.[img=376x159]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nDXhHSTvE-76tmSTNhVPxoFDe7orlPB8Z8nZBMPGmyvsL5lRvy2bkKX2n3MmfGrDZ42Cw4mG_a9oHWR3uB-GMnY9F-7mc5QZgEb9OGETikSxOnAv7iPYpWqn0A[/img]
[img=624x236]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/DEHPoQ83GxNiiXorjkN0d4IIF0b69wHIURK4oGJITqH9j7pScDJQkDt6DfiohFKMp_HUoZgbyBlKHZf5mcW_vxvJTuVz8tKp8TnlfubfsD0MS0g-WapvySpNRA[/img]
I was able to refreshhttp://secura.e-sim.org/index.html manualy with F5 10 times in 14 seconds, human response time-if we are ready is 0,4 second, so lets take 5 seconds for 10 responses, which leaves us with 9 seconds for 10 loads. (no pictures, site compression ON). 0.9 second per site!
6.65s-0.9s= 5.75 seconds LEFT. So with good browser we can buy in 1,24 seconds. Pretty impressive. Really? no...usually sites loads under 0,5 sec with all pictures and no compresions, esim needs for this 1,4 seconds +. but lets stay under 1 second to load the page.
So you have exactly 5.75 seconds to see goods on market, to enter the amount you want to buy and to press buy now. Is this possible? Maybe with a lot of luck.
However we are tracking dule123 for a quite some time now, so we are 100% sure that he is not in our country when we are transferring goods over local market, so in this 5.75 second he need to travel. So lets see if he can do this.
Remember we have only 5.75 seconds to travel and get back on the market place.
So we need:
- 1 click for travel page: 0.17 second for server response
- loading page: 0.9sec
- country change: 0.17sec for server response
- travel: 0.17 sec for server response
- you go to other tab and click refresh for market: 0.17 sec for server response 0.9 sec for page to load
and we are back at market place, in total system spend: 2,48 seconds out of 5.75 seconds.
We still have 3.27 seconds too much time! Can anyone make everything to travel and buy goods from local market in this time? Yes? Are you sure? Remember the part when I said: “average human response time, when he is ready is 0,4 sec?
So before you see the good on market you spent 0.4 sec, when the pages for travel loads you spent 0.4 second to detect this, when server change the country destination you spent 0.4 sec,, to change to other tab you need 0.4sec just for detecting, when you refresh other tab with local market you spent 0.4 seconds again so in total just for your responses to server you need: 2 seconds.
Well we are still left with 1.27 seconds.
So how many mouse clicks do we need to do the whole thing?
1 for entering local market,
1 for entering travel site
1 for open coutry list,
1 for choose a country
1 for move to next tab
1 for refresh local market
1 for enter the field to enter numbers which we want to buy
1 for click buy now
8 mouse clicks, well lets take a look at this:
[img=493x558]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/tH77H2fUWO8Mreb9Z8wYgOia-tM7SWNtNZRK6zPkCIMqReTXA7ybXGJe2DJTS3ORwIJ1QyIfsXyJvZ08S0pJ_YvymuFACkcd7fAcXkxjad6SDnUZuL_qx5WYPA[/img]
72 clicks in 10 second on the same place! Which leaves us with 0.14 second per click, so for 8 clicks we need around 1,10 seconds.
1.67 -1,10= 0.17 seconds.
So in theory yes you can do everything in 6,99 seconds and you still have 0,17 seconds to drink your coffee. But can you move your mouse 8 times on right location in 0,17 seconds and writing the amount you want to buy?
So no human can buy goods from local market in less then 7 seconds if he is not ready for this...even a robot can't do this!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
