Credit farming

[Grogggy]

I know I am slow, but I was thinking the other night as I tossed restlesslessly (might have something to do with carrying a lot of danger, but thats another post). I asked:

Why is it double accounts etc are so rampant in this game?

I had thought the loopholes were basically closed; cant swap voodoo, mows are restricted, etc. I mean you can do it but it would seem a bit of hassle for not that much gain.

Then I got thinking, could it be the credits?

I mean theoretically, you could collect and auction cards only with an account and simply transfer credits. Too easy, right?

I think you should either police credit transfers (sounds tedious) or how about closing the last great loophole CJ and ending credit transfers?

Maybe this thread could be about general cheating, spy accounts, etc. I'm sure players would help you enforce a little sanity around here:)

I guess gold transferring is also going to come to the game. I'm not sure, but I remember it reading somewhere thou... Then, that will also become a problem similarly like credit transfer. And I agree with Cappy that stopping this transfer thing can end players from profiting with double accounts to a great extent.

i think it's likely that metrics are already being collected on this Cap, but then, a friendly reminder to eyeball the metrics couldn't hurt either.

restricting credit transfer would devalue the in game currency.. seems like a bad idea to me.

Credit transfer is not the reason. It is already policed.

They mostly open new accounts to keep busy with the game with one account while they cannot with the other. This is the main reason they do it.
Some attempt to cheat a bit but they are stopped prematurely.
Also, there is no such thing as rampant growth of multi accounts. We always have had incidents and they are always a few per month. Single-digit number.

Credit transfer helps with game funding and helps people give gifts to friends they have made.

fair enough:) it is nice to be able to quickly give someone something of value.
