I am not sure I understand the premise of this thread...

If whole groups are creating 2ndary toons, and dropping against their own faction to purposely lose then that's a problem.

It this is just a stats thing, then who cares?

No stats tracking in CW currently.

This is just for planetary control: Unit tags and faction territory.

Well, the other option is that you are overly paranoid, but you jumped right on te cheater thing, which isn't even what I said.

You already said that it would easy to spot from the dev side, so why sweat it? All this thread is, is "alt account abuse tactics 101" for the disgruntled n00bs that want to troll in CW.

If you want more of something, talk about it a lot. All those threads crying about the 9S sold a lot of mechs.

To call this overly paranoid is like saying wearing a seatbelt is being paranoid. You can drive your car a thousand times without getting in an accident, but the day you do you'll be glad to have a seatbelt on right?

This is easy for devs to spot if they are looking for it. If they aren't even looking then they would have no idea. Also, I didn't make this thread.

Come on PWN...the thread title isn't even about the topic you keep championing. It's about just having a 2nd account, which is not a problem. It's no surprise people keep coming in here going..."seriously?". Sure, the ability to break the COC and to reap rewards by generating alt accounts and farming them may be something for PGI to keep an eye on.

You have certainly brought up far more concerns than I had considered about the issue...and I realize that the CW system is certainly rife now for cbill farming, where as the other private queue was not viable for that...so thank you for the information and ideas. But don't be surprised when folks pop in and say..."geez..yet another thread about something that doesn't seem like much of a problem". I am surprised every time you seem surprised!

[HARDKOR]

Ya, read the thread title, then jump on the STFU chicken little bandwagon.

If you want your perfectly reasonable concerns handled, email the devs instead of spelling out in detail how to game the system most effectively.

The difference is tens if not hundreds of thousands have died in car accidents. How many planets have flipped because of this? 1? 10? 100?

Who knows? We don't have a reliable way to determine the statistics on this. Maybe none, maybe 1 or 2 a night?

Sure maybe hundreds of thousands have died in car accidents but there are millions of cars on the street every day.

Comparatively, 1 or 2 planets is probably more statistically significant when there are only about 40ish or so planets available for attack/defend during any given ceasefire.

Obviously the risk of loss of life in a car accident is infinitely more important than essentially meaningless planets at this point, but the way you frame your response in terms of statistics is flawed.

My point exactly.

One could argue that risk of loss of life is more important than anything pertaining to MWO. This doesn't mean we should all stop discussing MWO to design better seatbelts.

[HARDKOR]

At the least, I would suggest that you make a thread in suggestion, with good, low manpower solutions that don't cut into their bottom line.

There has to be a set of DB queries that could be easily leveraged to pull out accounts that need review.

This tread is flame bait.

Ah! But I operate from the principle that each life saved is significant. As for MWO planets? Not so much.

To answer a question of 1977 ibm clone. Computer family< Uncle 1 of three who ran BOEING computer center largest computer place in the world starting after korean war. Engineers in family, electrical, mechanical etc.. Uncles in college built the 1977 IBM CLONE themselves and many other systems. Voice recognition has been around since i was 9 or before, As the computer would ask me what music i would like to listen to while my uncle was located and given the phone call.. And as mentioned before all that jumped to defend 2nd accounts and yelled tinfoil hats just like the media and US Government throw trash into the topic, scream about whatever, muddy the water but the problems are still there and any other game online. All that say BS on cheating I am 90% sure they are the ones who did and still doing it in every game they play.
