Alts in the same bracket. :( | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Like seriously, this is a major problem. I just ran down my alt list either gambling for a scoop or running one visit and . . .
I have 4 alts in there. 4! Another player has 2.
I have 2 alts in there. Another player has 3.
Isn’t this just a little insane? Pickled male reproductive organbum hasn’t even run his yet. If he hits these averages he’ll have 2 or 3 per bracket.
Top bracket also has 2 from the same player (that happened last week as well.)
Isn’t there any way to prevent this? Couldn’t there be like 15 – 20 start up brackets, so alts get spread out? I like getting into my brackets early, so I can see how people enter, if they are running pistachio, whatever, but it’s just a silly advantage to have so many in one bracket. It’s not likely to matter for me this week, since I don’t think I can actually be here for our raids and possibly won’t make end of Dom next Wednesday, but if I can make even one raid the power is multiplied hugely.

I pointed this out to ET last week when I saw it in a particular pod, and he said he’d need to look into it, especially seeing as it was “fixed” long ago. I think he’s either working on Ep.2 full time this week or else on vacation, so it’s unlikely to be addressed soon. But hopefully by next week. |

Having an alt in my bracket is the only way I got these medals. |

Honestly between PD, Scully and myself we can make the upper brackets pretty miserable. I have 4 in one bracket and 2 in a couple of more brackets including the top bracket. I generally make only one possibly 2 raids in a given week and in many cases that means that multiple alts can work together to dominate a bracket.
Yeah it needs to get fixed but the only real solution is to either limit the number of alts that can participate in domination (they can still help on raids but they don’t actually get placed in brackets) to a smaller manageable number or you need to place only one medaled alt into each bracket. The problem with the first solution is that it limits the fun bumociated with making alts and the problem with the second solution is that people like PD, Scully and I would have alts in each of the medal brackets plus maybe extend into nonmedalled brackets. |

i’ve got two alts in a pod this week. which sucks because they have no medals so there’s nobody to go offensive on. |

Arktor Posted: I agree. If you donate money to the game, you obviously should have some sort of advantage. |

I agree they should have some advantage. But I don’t agree that “money players” should have such a powerful gameplay advantage over those who aren’t. That’s not good game design, and has been, from what I understand, a serious complaint about other online games. |

Well there has to be some kind of advantage, and right now Dom’s about it. |

Really? I see being able to change other people’s avatars and titles, where they don’t have a recourse against that, as advantages. Or the ability to play the game through as multiple clbumes when anyone playing by the rules but unable to pay can’t. And there may be more with Ep. 2.
But paying money to have an advantage over someone in a competitive aspect does in no way strike me as fair or right. |

Dominate without using your alts. Thats the point.
If using BP was supposed to give you advantage over other players then there wouldn’t be an illegal enhancements section. |

the point is to dominate, by any means necessary
that is why you get scoops for being able to gamble |
