Multi-clienters ruining/abusing events
Comments
Yeah, you're right not to assume that for every case.
Though you should still feel free to report someone playing Mabi with their friends and such with strangely similar or throwaway names, if something about it seems suspicious to you.
It's only a problem if the investigation from reports are faulty.
Sure, Eventchar01 through Eventchar07 could just be friends with a silly in-joke all running the same dungeon with their pal THEMAINMAN, who is decked out in cool equips, while the others wear 0 dura newbie wears and Robes.
I mean, that's not out of the question, as hyperbolic as that sounds.
But ya'know... sometimes.
But it really comes down to Nexon's end, what comes of this whole situation.
Whether it continues (bleh), ends well (offenders punished), or ends badly (innocents banned).
Just more presence would be great.
I don't even know if GMs are in-game outside of events, and insta-banning on sight without investigating would be bad, but... they could act like security guards.
Ya'know like, the presence of them could deter stuff before it happens. In the sense that "you never know if there could be a GM right outside Taill's Altar, as you bring your menagerie of alts out of the mission you're solo-spamming".
I don't know. Perhaps I'm just a little bummed out at the prizes taken, but....
Having limited top tier= Multi-clienters win and others lose\
Having unlimited top tier= Multi-clienters win and others also win
....I think I just prefer one to the other. And it would be one of the easiest solutions without having to get into the nitty gritty of IP addresses (which can hurt families) or level/talent requirements (which I don't think I would mind, so long as it doesn't alienate new players too much. We definitely need new people. Maybe have under level 100K do G1, it would be irritating enough for a multi-clienter to have to navigate lolol. Oh, and you can't make a new char and get up to level 100 during the event; it has to be 100K previous to the event.)
What, like make 'Alby Advanced Hardmode" passes bring up a window similar to using Unrestricted Passes where you can choose "1 Player ~ 4 Player" versions?
I mean, I don't think the majority of alt-carriers do it just to get into specific dungeons.
I mean, I'm sure that it's just a happy coincidence that the version of AAHM that has 8 reward chests per dungeon requires 4 players, to the person who's running AAHM with three alts.
But it's not like you need special party size requirements to enter, say, Phantasm.
But that won't stop alt-runners from bringing their friends anyways.
I mean, changing the way to access dungeons like you suggested would have the side effect of being more convenient for everyone, especially non-alt-carriers, but it doesn't change anything for the alt-runners spamming for many times the endchest/completion rewards.
Heeey, there's a neato idea.
One can dream, eh?
Devs/mods should do something and take measures about this problem in most of this kind of events
Maybe next time just give everything to the NPC "Dero" or something and don't limit the prizes like this.
I agree, but I bet people who use alts would only say that we are 'butthurt' we didn't win anything good.
Too much effort to transfer money to alts
-comment removed-
At this point it's just FUD. Even in alexina almost all the gold rewards are still up. I had ~200 coins myself saved and blew them all as soon as the servers came up. I don't think anyone would bother putting in the effort of making the claimed 100 alts for a set of festia wings.
Also for the dungeon thing, AAHM is pointless to run unless you have 4 people. I do think this should be changed.
The servers went up early before mentioned when they would be up.
Within 5 minutes all the wings were gone on Alexina.
What they should have done was increase the coins needed amount and made it more difficult to farm for them.
Like the Chain slasher event. It was actually possible to get the teir 3 prize in that event yet this one only gives recovery pots...
That would have made it actually rewarding to do this event. i spent like 1000+ coins in a month and got 0 plat hammers, 0 music boxes, 0 wings.
And like 2 HS items... The drop rates for this event were absolute bs the fact that the wings were gone in 5 mins mean theres mean there were far too many people exploiting this event.
All the prizes should be untradable everything else is already untradable in the coin machine its only fair that everything else be locked too.
I could care less about the people want to trade the items to their friends cause the chance of them ever getting one of these items and trading them to friends is just a bs arguement to begin with. No one would ever give away one of kind wings that give the equivalent of "p2w" wings.
As for the Music box there is already like 4 different kinds of these music boxes. All they needed to do would be increase the drop rate for them anyway. Since there were 120 chances for them that is a considerable amount of them and i would say a fair amount of them per server.
Besides if the items were increased in drop rates and untradable it would make more people happy than unhappy.
But i have no doubt in my mind there are gonna be people who dont agree with me simply because they value their opinions over my own.
so its whatever.
This has gotten to a point where any attempts to be fair to the general population will fail to stop the rotten from doing this. Nip it off at the bud like you guys did with Hamlet, Nexon.
It's not FUD when you got people bragging about making 100~200 alts in the discord channel, showing off their 200 something rebirth potions, and showing pics of their army of alts surrounding the festia draw machine, and other npc's like the sweeper event npc.
Hmm no, in alexina there is a few of that person with 100 alts.
I know because they are openly advertising service with them and people bought the service from them.
Oh lord, this is probs why one of my friends avoid people at all costs.
