Guide to Ethical Alt Account Usage

I suppose so, but it's kind of like the courtesy lock on a bedroom door--it keeps the honest people honest, nothing more. I'd rather see a more aggressive plan from GA to address the cheats.

Thanks guys, I really like this, it puts into words everything I've been doing and thinking all along. (I follow all but the first bullet since I do occasionally sign in to my original acct)

Folant, thanks for being consistent. Nice to know my opinion of you doesn't have to change.

I have multiple accounts, on both sides.
Do I use them in for anything in particular? No. If I did, what business is it of yours?
Stop trying to police the game, let players do what they want and stop sticking your oar in, GD.
If any rules or guidelines need to be set up its GA's job to do so, which they have.
Talking about ethics is a free mini-game on the iPhone, you're a bigger tool than I thought.

I like this guide but it poses a problem for me. I have no Dannan spawns available at my home base (anymore since GA put 3 realms in with the last realm update and blocked me from the Dannan gateway. The update where I had a hissy fit over them blocking me from my Silver Gateways. Khamos is awesome). Also, I'm sure my fellow greens appreciate access to Dannan spawns for Ghostly Lights, for as long as they are available. By befriending my main on my alt, I have access to Dannan that I wouldn't have had in order to complete Dannan specific missions. If this makes me a cheater, well, defriend me I guess. I'll miss my fellow Animators I've met over the past few months, but I can't disregard that ease of access especially when other people's beacons are subject to their whims and needs as opposed to my own.

Spread out your doms. My realm always spawned inriks, but stretching my doms just a bit allowed me to make it a four-houses realm now. Raelyne and GD recently posted an explanation of how/where different spirits spawn in relation to each other.
Also, how does having an alt give you access to dannans that your normal can't have?

Geat guidelines, very well reasoned.
But they only work if everyone keep pointing at them when players abuse them.
I hope to join in that.

It seems an excellent guide for those that might be wondering what constitutes cheating with an alt. However, even though I'm often more verbose than I need to be, I think it could be stated more succinctly: If you're using an Alternate account to alter advantage in any form, you're cheating.
I don't think anybody who's cheating doesn't know they are. We also can't possibly draft enough rules to cover every circumstance.

Lets not have a Josh2000 who farmed off his multiple accounts of both sides in the past, I think he's stopped though, since I haven't seen any abnormally high energy amounts from him. But still if you are gonna make an alt, please don't farm the alt, since that makes it less fun for other players.

I'm leveling an alt, and not playing my "main", to stave off end-game boredom.
