So I understand that alts are a completly normal and needed part of the game. I work a full time job and my alts have helped out alot in events ect. I hope one day to have a scion or eidolon priest to help out my main with buffs because I feel bad about asking healers all the time for them for things like Arvenal, gotor, or the new dungeons. As is my alt priest is only 69. Yet I am confused and concerened about what I think is an unjustice to not just myself, but other players on my server.
Although I play rarely on my main site account(heavenly isle) I am from the kongregate servers. On kongregate it is rather easy to share or give out your direct link to the game so that you don't need to share your password or anything for the account. To this extent several players on my server give out their links to others to log them in for dailys. Others have even just given their accounts to people because they have quit the game. Some people have even reported them for doing such.
My concerns with this are as such:
First off I thought doing this was against the terms of service with R2. But on kongregate the website themself doesn't care much about alts for any game as long as it doesn't destroy the game. Yet R2 has it plainly stated in their Terms of Service that you can't do this. Although the servers are on kongregate they are maintained by R2 games. So is this not still under their ToS?
Secondly, the people who have taken over accounts from others on my server tend to not just be rude about it but complete donkey butts if you know what I mean. To the point they take some of the fun out of the game. One such person has taken it upon themself to single handly ruin seng just because he can with an account that was heavily cashed and than given to him. I understand that alts using some weekly events aren't abuse but that is in my mind.
Now to resolve this I know that some moderators are going to say report the suspected people, but some of my in game friends have already done such about some of these people. They have provided some evidence as well and all they were told is that r2 would monitor them. My questions are as follows:
When I report people suspected of doing this what kind of evidence is needed?
Is this or isn't this cheating?
Is it against ToS?
Is it worth reporting these users with only screenshots of them mentioning it?
In the end I'm not trying to whine about players doing such as I got flammed in world chat on game for already complaining. I am just curious to ask the community and see if people do this as prevelantly on main site since I am not sure if it is as easy to do it. Also I'm just curious as to what peoples views on this are. I'm not trying to single anyone out or name them in this thread so please don't ask. Nor am I trying to get my whole server banned since from my understanding now that we have also merged like many servers on the mainsite it seems that 5-10% of the server does this. It is even my understanding that people on my servers reported a user for hacking into anothers kong account and using it yet nothing happened to that user. Ironically enough one of these people also tried to edit and cheat their way into the sieryu contest we had on our servers like was had for first to 100 here. So the fact they would do something like this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
