Im with you op, it's annoying when you are sieging someone, and instead of him coming out to fight he sends millions of alts to destroy building posts, block building and generally grief while his character is completely safe..

I agree with you that the resource system needs some tweaking, but that's just one cause of spamming characters. I only became aware of it by reading Potjeh's post in the other thread. Surely we can do both, no? It's not entirely logical for a single account to be able to have 400 different characters on it, regardless of WHY.

Can you explain to me how spamming chars is a BAD thing that constitutes abuse? You know abuse usually comes with the term "advantage" and we aren't gaining some sort of advantage over others. You have just a good of chance as finding a HQ resource as we do. It's all fucking luck.

Enough of the bitching about us. You look for every fucking reason to slander, etc. You say Burgi abuses mod powers, is abusive to game tactics, blah blah blah. Just more diarrhea of the mouth.

Dumb thread, addresses symptoms instead of problems by adding arbitrary restrictions

Fools, the solution to the problem is to make resources not finable with simple hand collection of resources. Just as metals can not be found so trivially easily.

This... Much as I would be a huge supporter of the 'one account, one character' system, there's no way to enforce it. So better to find ways to make it impractical to the point of pointlessness.

Yeah this is a better solution.. basically alts should be helpless to analyze their locations. It should require some character development first.

Say.. that reminds me of that other guy's idea to hide quality ratings from unskilled characters :twisted:

You can just do that with a single hearthfireless character, and spawn in the wilderness repeatedly to your heart's delight.
