Abusing alts

Post by Dziqn » 09 Dec 2017, 14:08

So some guilds are abusing white clanless alts as spy/ meat shilds.
And its hard to do pvp and not lost alignment in chaos of fight.

Open world pvp is already half dead, everyone sit behind walls.

And now even if you need to go outside, its better to send white alt ...

Game designer dev have answer for this ? Or we need to w8 for instanced battles/jw to do pvp ?

Using alts as spies and meatshield is part of politics and pvp. You need to check new recruits thoroughly if you want to avoid having spies in your ranks.

You literally called them spies in your initial post. That means they are among your people and settlement gathering recon. You called them meat shields. That means they are coming to your settlement at the front line of an assault. Both of which have the same solution: Flag them as trespassers and slaughter them without penalty.

If that's not what they are doing, then don't get angry when a developer offers you advice on how to rectifiy the situation becauase you don't know how to words.

Make PvP alts and kill them. The bulk of players in organized guilds have 2-3 alt slots they are not using, and most players in general will have PvP-only alts. Fight fire with fire. A freshly rolled Khoor character is more than capable of slaughtering an unarmed gathering alt and in a few hours of training can 2-shot one.

Other than that, declare war on their guild and raze their primary encampment and 0-skill their mains. Wall-in the resources their unguilded gatherers are taking from you. Put down claims to protect the area and to flag people as KOS. There are quite a few things you can do to eliminate the problem.

Alts are unstoppable , what you think that people are gonna put rules in place to stop people from using their hard earned cash on something they want to buy ? Dropping tags can be stopped in certain ways like guild join / leave timers or cool downs , which should be looked at , but beyond that you can’t stop people from making endless alts to fuck with your guild ... it’s just the way of Open world MMOs (and the beauty of it).

Make an alt character with 30 in 2h weapons and just claymore their alts into oblivion. You only need 1 perma murderer to take care of the pesky alts.
