some dozens of multis banned last couple days - few GvG farming guilds wiped out

 

some confidence restored inre: integrity of game

 

cows: some mention of crackdowns like this here and/or on the home page might discourage others from cheating

 

i've seen comments to the effect multi accounts are tolerated in new mobile game "new earth" - with FS transitioning to mobile some clarification on this might be needed

the problem is some innocent people where also affected by this who use public computers or public wifi. also people who share wifi/computers are being hit by it. I think a new way of doing this needs to be implemented, simply running an IP scan isn't enough.


May the odds be ever in your favor

Sorry, that dog don't hunt.  I played from a library for a couple of years without question and I know of at least 3 that do so now.  Additionally, innocent parties merely need to submit proof via a ticket to be reinstated as has always been done.  Had I been an innocent party caught in any crackdown I would be understanding.  I'd much rather HCS err on the side of caution to keep cheaters off my favorite game.

What makes you assume this was done through IPs? I spend several hours hunting 83 clone accounts and terminating them.

I like what I see in global chat. Many more are suspecting multis. Someone mentioned in GC today. That they suspect a guild because the majority of it's members had all logged off within a few minutes of each other. I have noticed this also. Though I am sure it's difficult for Grim to do such as he did the other day. Not to mention. He has other things on his plate.

I would suggest that if you suspect a guild or Players if being a clone. Please, put in a ticket. :)

I always have made sure BG was aware if I had any suspicions, as cheaters ruin the game for all of us.  

 

 

There have always been things in place for those who, like me, use a shared internet (I live in a retirement community and 112 residents share a connection), and as I stated earlier I played daily from a public library for well over a year.   There are legitimate families where more than one member plays.   It's relatively simple to provide proof of your individuality.   

 

Much harder is identifying the cheater. On many other games I play they are allowed to run rampant and multiply like roaches...  Not here :)

 

Kudos BG for your constant diligence in keeping these under control.

Ok, genius. What about those of us who are innocent in this witch hunt? Tell you what. TRIP is going to come back from this and we'll show you just how much "cheating" was done to get us on the top of the GvG list. I'm kinda taking all of this personal, so challenge accepted!
