End Alt-Harvesting

Exploits like this

should be disabled by making the character unable to grab something from a localized resource for a certain time (10 minutes minimum) after logging in, the time getting longer the nearer the HF (or the character login location) is to a resource (and extra penalty in case the character did little except harvesting localized resources).

There should at least be a skill involved, and perhaps a radius around the resource where you're not allowed to log out.
jorb: I don't want *your* money. You are rude and boring. Go away.
Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Everything you said just won't change the fact that people will use alts, they will either log in earlier, or buy the skill on multiple alts... but they will still use alts. If you really want the ressource, just KO the alt logging in and there you go?

Just go there with a sword. Others will back off, at least that works for me.

How about we just make the harvesting instanced to each account and make the resource more rare and un-dropable or tradable.

That will kill those alts/bots.

How about we just make the whole game instanced to each account.

That will kill all alts/bots.

Agreed! Let's all play a completely instanced game on a server very far away for the single player MMO feel! ¦]
