My personal suggestion to prevent alt farming would be to have all structures of a player be automatically destroyed whenever they log out. That would eliminate all alt farming from 1 device
That would also totally screw whoever is operating communications alts like the NYBG one Mob mentions above. Maybe only do it when they change colors.

How about scanning if there are multiple logins from on Itunes-ID together with huge gains of mana and/or energy? Would that be an option?

In my opinion, those who feel taking advantage by violating the guidelines of TOS, SC, or any laws jave dome serious personal problems that lead them to place selfish short term gain over ethical values.
I also feel the negative dynamics created by the accusations and prejudicial behavior is JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE than the violating acts themselves.
Both immoral and to be ashamed of: how dare you treat people so poorly?
That's just my educated opinion. I'm sure it's a minority.

We, both Gray Area and our player community, shouldn't have to deal with these problems.
Players should act ethically and not start these problems.
Should. Obviously won't.

i'm just saying u should re-open Tommasso's account he plays fair and means no harm. Until you have hard evidence of Tommasso cheating or anyone else u shouldn't close their accounts. i've played this for a long time and i know a couple of things 
and seriously get rid of the Alt. Farmers

The only problem I have is, if GA knows what the in game exploits are, to the point where they can ban accounts of people who use them.. Why don't they just patch the game to fix the exploits like any other game company would? Game has a bug, people take advantage of it, it gets patched so they can't... This is the ONLY company I have seen that will ban people for using in game exploits instead of fixing them.. Really says a lot about GA..

Maybe some of the exploits are impossible to fix? Some of them might have to do with hardware. For example gps or network latency. The only fix for those would be to have a turn based game with out location-awareness.

Your reason or not listing ban-able exploits does not make sense. You have stated that you now have processes and tools in place to detect the use of these exploits, won't you be able to catch any new abuses of these exploits? List the exploits, then everyone will know which actions have consequences and there is full transparency. Then if people decide to use said exploits, ban them. if more people use the exploits because they are listed, more people will then get banned. Problem solved. At least this way there is full transparency.
