HOW we could handle Shade Accounts

[deadstikmac]

 

So we all have been trolling the other forum posts about Shade Accounts.

An inside perspective on what can be done by players....

I want to create 3 accounts and I have 3 computers in which too run all of these accounts actively at one time. For the sole purpose of monitoring all three country's text buffer. Now I can see effectively in country chat where missions are being launched from, whom is in the missions, where they are going and what they are taking.

On top of that information I would otherwise not have access too, I now can see where EVERY CV is located at on the map and if my rank is high enough I can take control of CVs' and guide them into traps being set with the information I gathered from having 3 accounts.

I can spread MISSINFORMATION among the country in which I wish to disrupt for the tactical advantage of causing fighting within the country to dismantle any would be uprising in order to more effectively place myself in postion for killing on my main account. (IE causing arguments on a specific country chat just to disrupt that country's effective fighting)

I can Shade Vulch for Perk Farming with out anyone noticing simply by changing the names of TWO accounts on a "KILL BASIS" to mask or conceal the kills on the players names and on the plane types. Also I can record video in which I have two of my irl friends come over and mock dogfight with me but have the intentions of letting me shoot them down. Then use that video to prove I was NOT shade killing.


This only took me a few minutes to post, if there is more I think of, I will add to this post during the day.








 


OVERALL the goal of this post is to start a dialogue for HOW TO HANDLE THIS TYPE OF PLAYER!

I was just trying to think of ways the system can be abused and those were the first thought that came to mind.

Everyone is pointing the finger at Hi-Tech Creations to do something about this..... well lets hear some suggestions of WHAT CAN BE DONE. As we all have been well aware of the shade accounts for perk farming. No one has really made any suggestions for what should or could be done. (outside of separating perks for each arena)

We all pretty much agree that this type of player should be discouraged from the game and made known to others when they do act in this manner.

EW and MW main arenas have been a part of the game for awhile now. I wouldn't be surprised if shade accounts have existed even longer.

Why is it suddenly a crisis? I got no respect for those who feel the need to do this anymore than you. But, geez, I guess I just don't care
as much and it's not hurting my fun one bit.

So far the best I have is that "Hall of Shades" list and seep rate perks for each arena.

And yeah why now the witch hunt is what I'm interested in knowing?


Also a side note.... What does it say that someone would have (let's say) 10Fighter sorties with 30 kills placing them in the top 100 for fighter score and just not up as a Fighter Sortie only to "protect" that rank they would otherwise not have if they did not up 300 Attack Sorties?

The bad side of a witch hunt is when the witch was just a regular ol player, however. I saw this
tried/suggested to stop head ons and vulching. Didn't work out so well.

[deadstikmac]

And me personally... Why would someone care about score or rank..... That has ZERO reflection of skill........ In most cases.

That they're a casual player with family and job responsibilities or that they don't want to sit at the computer a majority of their time? As for me, I haven't hyperventilated about score ... ever ... other's or mine.  

As a side note, just how many characteristics of other players that don't sit well with you are you thinking of persecuting?

Just fly ..... shoot the other guy.

May I have have some of the spare time you are using to worry about this nonsense?

This is a golden opportunity for HTC to realize enhanced revenues: introduce the "Inverse Discount".   

Your first AH account is billed at the usual $15 per month.  Applying the Inverse Discount to the second account, it will only set you back a paltry $30 every month, the third account is $45, the fourth is $60, and so on...

After two kills, make all subsequent kills of the same player worthless; they add no perks, kill points, or kill totals to your record. It would be as if the death of the player never happened.

Not only is the problem solved, but it will diminish spawn camping and vulching as well.

3 kills just in case I get all three of someone's buffs.

Hell, just eliminate points, score, rank altogether and make perks a purchase item.

Hey, don't be like that. You appear to consider this something very important and started this thread under
the apparent premise of discussing ways to end perk-farm dual account cheaters from perk-farming with a
second account. This would do it. Nothing to farm. Second account useless. If you don't like this method,
give reason. Don't pout.
