Granger' solution would fix the problem.
I would even make a mini region around the local ressources scents free because in a few days/weeks these alts will have rage and won't log out.
The situation at the moment is completely stupid , local ressources are meant to be rare and something you fight for.
sure disabling nidbane for them was a good step but it fix the problem for a few weeks only and you can't compete with an abuser with 10 naked alts at 10 different spot that risk nothing at all but 10 minutes of his time.
auto log out make the problem even worse , you can't even kill them.
I tried multiples times ... and just killed one who was noob enough to just sit afk without auto log out.

Re: End Alt-Harvesting
Don't see how this would fix anything. People usually log on 15 minutes before salt spawns on their alts anyway to scout the area and/or have roads to the nodes. Killing the alts means you have to run home and/or risk getting gang-banged when they track your red-handed ass. God help you if the alt had rage, nidbanes are really, really fun, especially when getting chased.

This is actually a really good and elegant solution imoapoc254 wrote: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.

Also rock crystals, heartwood leaves, etc. can be gilded onto things still.

Re: End Alt-Harvesting
might as well just remove them from the game if you're going to remove them from trade.

Re: End Alt-Harvesting
Just make the game subscription -based with max 3 chars on account.
This would reduce alting to near zero. Or at least make a good cash flow from alt-lovers to make the game better. Which would benefit everyone obviously.
Together with long-term subscription discounts and random bans of bots would deal a heavy blow to botters too.
1) You need a separate account to avoid main being banned +15$/mo
2) You have no idea how long this bot would live
3) For legit char you can get 12 month sub for 90$ which you never can do for bot since it may be banned on 2nd month of sub.

I'm not against that if the alternative is alts and botted alts like we have now.Kirche wrote:might as well just remove them from the game if you're going to remove them from trade.
