Preventing Shade Accounts

[Pand]

I don't have the answer; however, I am looking for some suggestions from the community to HiTech on how to prevent them.

HTC doesn't care as long as you aren't vulching your shade.  Shade accounts = extra revenue for the company.

Remove the side switch timer.

Is that your opinion or HTC's opinion?  (As that may have an impact on regular subscribers who have had enough)

Remove the side switch timer.

Not sure how that will fix it ?

I'm just assuming your issue is with people having two accounts so they can find CV's and such.  Turn off the timer and voila, no more need for a shade account!

What IS a shade account in your opinion, and what's the problem with it?

In my opinion, a shade account is (someone correct me if I'm wrong):

1.  An additional account that is logged in simultaneously with a person's main account, but logged into another country, to find out locations and positions of missions/goons/people on the enemy side.

2.  An additional account that is logged in simultaneously with a person's main account, but logged into another country, and is killed repeatedly by the main account to increase score / acquire perks.

My problem with it is inherently obvious.

There's hardly anything you can to prevent it before that happens. There are a lot of legitimate reasons to have two different account son same IP and/or registered to same person, even flying on different countries.

a "shade" is a vet in a new name.....

I have taken a few shades....... it is fun to fly around,  people thinking you are a noob then handily smacking them around 

Ive Never had 2 accounts at the same time......

Would it be possible for people to share a LOT of legitimate reasons?  

The only legitimate reason I can think of is 2+ people (roommates or family) in the same house playing the game and on the same country.  

A non-standard situation would be those same people; however, they are not on the same country, and are not interested in flying together.  Showing basic consideration for the other players of aces high, they would not share their country information with the other player.

oh dont keep him for our sakes, we shall unite as a community and have a big group hug and get over his loss.......rather quickly........depressingly quickly actually......maybe so quickly the group hug will look more like a victory hug than a shared sorrow hug..........


just saying.......
