So I had read that the steal rate in effect (aug 4th?) I believe was 0.08% around that time we tested and it was roughly in that ballpark I just checked. Want y'all to see the math original total : 83,785,654 gold taken = 1,909,880 total = 81,875,674 meaning the rate was back too 0.022% roughly. So I thought well that can't be right, that'd be going back on the admins side so I did the math again. Second total: 81,875,674 gold taken = 1,846,314 you do the math... The steal rate is 0.022(5-7) % So much for that badarse 0.08% eh mates?
We actually haven't adjusted the steal rate since that time. It is possible that the person moved their gold out into items or another non-open source. You can verify this again (you are correct that the rate is around 0.08% depending on a few factors).
It was a mate of mine who was not touching the gold, letting me test I have tested twice more since and come to the same results roughly. (third decimal varying a tad) I will keep testing some factors, I'm not sure how I can come off that much but we'll see
Its something like 1% for atk and 0.08% for spy, but it only is that rate if you have over a certain ammount, say 1 billion. Thats why you hear osfs saying "wow you take a lot" because if only a little gold is out the loss rate is based on strength
