Game design for balancing

Alright guys, I've decided it. I'm writing up the biggest documentation resource on game design ever (mostly game balancing for now), and you guys can help me.

Game design as in making up rules, mechanics and gameplay, and things about implementation too, not as in level design, character design and things like that.


It has a lot of collisions with computer science problems.

Here is a list of problems I aim to discuss for now:

**PROBLEMS**

+ inflation
+ power balance
+ cheating
+ bot majority (cheating)

**MEASURES**

*inflation*

+ asymptote/controlled drop rate
+ zero resource output

*power balance*

+ full loot
+ permadeath
+ classes/item tweaking (old, will not discuss it)
+ automatic balancing

*cheating*

+ obfuscation (yeah, that's a given; I won't discuss it)
+ zero sharing (could limit your game's beauty a lot)
+ many-player confirmation (but that creates a problem by itself: bot majority)

*bot majority*

+ cryptographic authentication (an open problem in crypto-currencies and CS in general, how to compete with the ever-evolving hardware?)

The novels tell the tale of Eragon, a farmboy who discovers a dragon egg in the mountains and is amazed when it hatches for him. He raises the dragon, Saphira,
and becomes bonded with her as a Dragon Rider. Unfortunately, the evil Galbatorix, the ruler of The Empire who betrayed and destroyed the Dragon Riders long ago,
finds out, and sends his impenetrably cowled Ra'zac servants to capture Eragon and Saphira. They escape, but the Ra'zac burn down Eragon's home and kill his uncle.
Our heroes set out for revenge, joined by the village's old storyteller, Brom, who, as it turns out, is a former Dragon Rider himself. On their quest, Eragon and Saphira meet up
with a Badass Anti-Hero with a Mysterious Past, rescue an elf princess, join the Varden, learn the truth about Eragon's past and his missing father, and face down
foes far more powerful than themselves—eventually culminating in a final battle against Galbatorix himself.

The moviess tell the tale of Luke, a farmboy who discovers a droid in the desert shop and is amazed when it plays a hologram for him. He keep the droid, R2D2,
and becomes bonded with him. Unfortunately, the evil Darth Vador, the left-hand of the ruler of The Empire who betrayed and destroyed the Jedis long ago,
finds out, and sends his stormstroopers to capture Luke and R2D2. They escape, but the stormstroopers burn down Luke's home and kill his uncle and aunt.
Our heroes set out for revenge, joined by the village's old storyteller, Obi-Wan, who, as it turns out, is a former Jedi himself. On their quest, Luke and R2D2 meet up
with a Badass Anti-Hero with a Mysterious Past, rescue an princess, join the Rebels, learn the truth about Luke's past and his missing father, and face down
foes far more powerful than themselves—eventually culminating in a final battle against the Emperor himself.
