Thread: Is this against ToS?

  1. #1

    Default Is this against ToS?

    Something that came up to today in WC. I am hoping for an MOD response but would like to hear others opinions.


    Is it legal to draft your allaince mates?


    I am not talking about drafting alts or multis, but ppl in your alliance would put a bunch of ballistae in a city and say ok draft me.

    * yes i know they would need to leave the alliance for this to be done

    I don't see why that would be against the ToS.

    That is not against the rules. But it is immoral, unless the person is letting you do it.

    Sounds to me a LOT like abusing an ingame function for unintended purposes? which IS against the ToS

    And I think you'd find most of these " Alliance drafts " Are alts

    Webby. I know for a fact Hundreds of alts being used to make troops to be drafted. I was offered $100 when I quit just for my Account... no cities just account so troops could be made in it

    TC... I thought any abuse of any in game function is against ToS?
    Doesn't sharing / Selling / Giving troops warrant as ingame abuse? I mean The free troop upkeep " Bug " for reo'd troops in ageII was abused....... As have been many functions


    What Webby is talking about is 400 ACCOUNTS ( Not Players ) Mass making troops so 1 or 2 Individuals can draft upwards of 500k Bally a day...... And Many of these accounts are run by one or two people.....

    Simply put say maybe 20 REAL People use 200+ Accounts to set Bally on each day...... 2-5k per city times 10 cities per account..... That's 20-50k per account.... Times that by up to 200.... Then have the Troops massed into 1 city for the local HC owner to draft... This repeats till All " feeder " Accounts have been drafted
    Then the drafters repeat for the local area HC ( HC 14 )

    Then it gets repeated for the State cap.... BUT Here is the kicker

    The Final stage of drafters have a city suz'd by the Person troops are being delivered to so they can double draft the troops


    This isn't simply many Many players each donating troops ( Cause these same players My Alliance is suz'ing ) This is many many alts

    So is abusing an ingame function or tactic against the rules and ToS?

    After All " Abusing 999 hour trans Attacks " was abusing in game functions was is not? BUT it was never intended to be used like that


    Are you saying TC that drafting from Alts and Ally mates non stop 24/7/365 is intended as game play?

    Drafting another player is not abusing a game feature unless the account being drafted is an alternate account of the player doing the drafting. So the situation described by the OP is not against the rules. But obviously using alternate accounts to draft from is.

    People with 400 alt accounts? I hope there is at least some type of investigation.

    I think the difference here is HC drafting a colony drafting. HC drafts are limited and therefore 400 accounts won't help someone from HC drafting. I don't think webby is talking about what you're presenting GE.

    And I also don't think it's immoral....I once adv port in to help save a fubared 12 that an alliance mate was struggling with and told him to draft some warriors off me so he'd have some defense. Not saying that there isn't a chance for 'immoral' behavior to occur, merely suggesting not to jump the gun and point fingers if that makes some sense.

    GE please stop your unfounded and false accusations of cheating. That is not what this thread is about.

    I am talking about players, real players, saying we want to help take our state capital, but we dont have good heros or wont be around ect. So they build ballistae and let a larger players draft them who will use them on the state capital.

    I know people in my alliance have started doing this so i was looking for clarifaction on the rules for it.

    GE if you want to accuse ppl of multiaccounting please use the proper channels, this is not the place.

    Drafting from an alliance mate is not against ToS.
    Drafting from an alliance mate that is an alt multi-account IS against ToS, because the player is multi-accounting.

    In short, the draft is not illegal, but the multi-accounting is.

    That was my exact feeling on the situation, thanks Rota.

    I have been hearing a lot of whining about this in WC lately and wanted something to send people too.

    Thanks all who responded even you GE.
