Hi,
I was wondering what ways are there to deter people for making multiple accounts in an online game?
To be clear, I am not against people having multiple accounts per say, its when they try to cheat with it is the problem.
The game I had in mind basically begs people to cheat… and I have no idea how to deter it.
I mean how do I stop people farming their alts to gain advantage?
or giving resources to their mains via lopsided trades?
I think the problem in my idea lies in that it takes 0 effort to accumulate stuff on a 2nd+ account.
The system just “stores” turns / time. then you can spend it all almost immediately and give the advantage to your main. circumventing the entire time system.
I know there is no 100% preventive measure but would like to deter it…
note I don't even have the game idea fleshed out yet, but already found this an issue in the design.
