So it looks like the official stance is that there is no policy to prohibit one person from having multiple paid accounts...and in my opinion is absolutely the way it should be.
If a player has a suspicion regarding another player's use of a second account (or general in-game behavior), that player should contact HTC directly via email to register a complaint (included screenshots and/or film would be a plus). From what I've seen, HTC takes allegations of less-than-honest behavior very seriously, and they have no obligation to publicly post anything regarding their investigations.
I guess I'm just having trouble understanding why this is such an issue.
I could not agree more, with the exception of the prior silence and unexplained policy on the issue in question. If we are expected to abide by the rules, then it is only fair & honest to have those who are current paying subscribers fully understand what is and what isn't tolerated in a public way so that players can be properly informed and bide by those rules.
From what I understand from Skuzzy, screenshots are no longer accepted as evidence of foul play or game violations, only in-game reports and films. I wish that HTC would post an official policy on what they do and dont accept as far is evidence of in-game rules violations publicly, although that has yet to happen----it is definitely needed.
The issue is that I have never seen, previous to this public question and answer from HTC addressed publicly (excluding those posts from those who think they personally represent HTC's official policies) so that myself and others, many others asking the same question in-game know what the rules are. Since I have never seen the issue presented publically prior to my question for official policy dictation from HTC it seems to me an important issue to be made public, in the light of day now, as I see numerous players using numerous accounts in-game to their own in-game advantage---and as a subscription paying current player had a valid question on a valid issue.
It's Dale's sandbox and I only wish to make sure what his official policy on the issue was, and to abide by his rules and nothing more.
