Keep dreaming, J.

Despite the deathly silence on this in the ToS, I found it interesting someone from GA described alt farming as 'undesirable behavior'...and said it was a priority to find a way to prevent it.

lol

When I see things like this I wonder what the problem is. They can't find fixes for technical reasons or they don't prioritise it?

The suggestion for a 10-pot cost to use the logout button seemed like the best idea to me.

Justine,

I have designed a way for them to fix it (Though I leave coding to them)

Ultimate Guide For GA: Problem Solutions

Justine, what about the manahackers though?

Mana-hackers? First I've heard of this o_O?

Pot stealing is now impossible to get away with, according to the people I've spoken to who admit to their accounts being banned for it....Do you know any better, Yeroc?

Also, alt farming has no technical barrier, whereas pot stealing does. If pot stealing were still rampant, at least we would be limiting the problem to people who wanted to cheat and were willing and able to do the necessary to their iDevice.

Agreed, Justine. I think it should be 10 pots AND account erasure upon logout, frankly.

PLAYING multiple accounts in the same side for a round, so your side gets more points, and wins, is kinda crappy, don't you think?

Bigtail (arch team, California) admitted his "farming account" was his 2nd account, and it was well over 2K and at one point in the top 5 (he took first place this last round) giving the animators a win in an otherwise close round. Another arch in the same chat laughingly said he had 9 accounts. Wow, that's fun.

Pretty nefarious.

2nd account on enemy team for spying... 2nd account to double the number of doms in your area... these are, IMHO, really not in the spirit of fair play.

2nd account to figure out how energy works, or to change your user name, or to switch sides, or just to have the fun of leveling up all over again... fine. As long as you don't run both at the same time (which people are doing, and flat out admitting to) shouldn't be wrong.

It's wrong in every MMO game I have ever played to "multi" in an active game/round/live game. It should be wrong here, and if it's not that's cool - but I won't play.

I want to play against other people. Not against other people with multiple active accounts.
