I just don't see anything positive coming out of the continuation of this thread
Nothing positive can come out of not addressing unfair advantage and victimisation either. Where would you like it to be discussed if not in the game-related forum? There's nothing sacred about threads mate. Just talk.

"It is impossible as I state it, and therefore I must in some respect have stated it wrong". <- fictional logician.
There's only two conclusions:-
1 - HiTech is unwilling to enforce fair and equal game play. This* isn't covered in the EULA, have been unable to get a straight answer about it for over a decade of asking, including PMs and the evidence is cumulative. Perhaps he tolerates multiple accounts regardless of their use because of the extra revenue, perhaps he's observed that drama brings more revenue, perhaps he straight up doesn't give a plop what goes on in the arenas at all or how 'honest' player's gameplay must suffer, nor cares that people announce they're leaving over continuous incidents, or maybe there is an element of pay-to-win in AH we just aren't facing. He boss, we not.
2 - HiTech is unable to enforce bans and fair gameplay, he cannot enforce bans even if he wanted to when people move to different IP addresses & change their MAC numbers and payment methods & cannot control what the game is being used for by some. Some games can do it, but it's got away from him. Cannot monitor external comms, does not track who is regularly dot wingmanning who and is technically unable to code any countermeasures nor do something as simple as placing a report banned player option on the clipboard. Said it before ACM is like a fingerprint, good players always know.
People that like this sort of activity will be loving this because they think it represents some kind of power. Power over the playerbase, power over anyone that's ever said anything critical about them, power over the owner of the game... Gangsta
