So how's killing Winterfell guys going for you? People can and do use combat alts for leaving scents, and you'll *never* catch those out unless they're going on a raid, in which case there'll be at least a dozen of them together.
There are flaws with making a brickwall and setting counter
rams because i could make a ram far out, roll it in and repair
it/longwall it all the while, then break in and use the enemy's
counter rams to break into their plots.
Silly, they'll just use their counterram to break your longwall and get to your repaired ram before it's done drying. If push does come to shove, though, they can always just move their hearths to one of their other twenty vaults.
Not to mention that it's piss easy to make a vault impervious to this tactic with statues, while making it technically legal. Just find a two tile wide canyon between cliffs and block it with one statue and one brick cp every three tiles. Make 14 of these blocks and your vault can't be broken into in less than two weeks even if you don't log in at all to take defensive measures, so even murder scents will expire before they can get to your hearth.
But it's not like you need to make your vault technically legal, the world is full of illegal vaults that can't be rammed at all and nothing is happening to them.
Random raiders are far too gulible and will attack anything that
looks believably helpless. Use their mindset to kill them.
So there's nothing wrong with the system as long as you can kill stupid people?
(there are numerous variations here that could ensure
a clean sweep of your oppenents, but i'm not gonna tell you
those just because you cant think of them yourself)
Yes, clearly I am the one here that can't push ideas to their logical conclusion.
The abuse of alts is an issue, though i dont honestly know anyone
that uses alts to the point where character development is useless..
I guess you just don't know very many people that would share their strategies with you. Gee, I wonder why that could be...
Also, i'm sorry Avu, but vaults make you anything but anonymous...
in w3 you knew perfectly well that Black Helicopter Base was AD, and
in this world you know perfectly well Victoria is CK, the dual mountain
vaults are AD, RoK has a few island vaults, BHB is again AD, and others
i could easily find out just by askin the people who have tracked to
other vaults.
