If alt dragging isin't possible anymore, why are people using different accounts to bypass this?

Wait... what are you saying?

Wait... what are you saying? Alt dragging is still highly possible, but due to it requiring more effort, people gave up. You can still make alts and drag 'em around albeit more difficult...

/e is still confused...

Explaining further

Scenario: you have 3 computers that you use. You decide one day that you will create 3 different accounts. You then log on to the 3 accounts on each computer. You then ask friends to play with your other accounts making sure to log in them first before they get to the 2 remaining comps. You tell your friends to not log off when they are done. After your friends leave, you go over and mail to your original account so you would get extra stuff.

Should this be taken into account by Game masters? If yes, why. If no, why not.

So much work for alternate

So much work for alternate dragging; the whole point of doing that was because little effort was needed. Who the heck would want to go through all of that process? It's not even considered leeching anymore with all of the effort that you're putting into it just to leech lol

I fail to see any point to alt dragging when you still have to do all the work yourself. Even if you have one character run to the end, you still have to pick up every last crown and mat, and it doesn't really save much time or work. Plus it costs a spark every time there's a party button (considering your alt can't go back through the gates to get every single thing that dropped once you pass the point of no return)

That's not alts, that's leeching from your friends.

.

Some people create alts because you can't log into the Spiral Knights Wiki with you're steam account. You need a Spiral knights account to edit. Note I don't have any pages in wiki but that's what most people do. I only have my alt because well....it was a second account I had a long time ago but overtime I just used it less and less. Sometimes I just sell stuff on it though. (My alt- Levenza)

But my friend in real life has 3 accounts and has been mailing to his original acc. For a year now . Should this go on? Personally I think it's bad because:

  • your not playing the game thw way it's supposed to be played (grind for stuff you want).
  • ruins learing curve????
  • from what I see on the thread you all say "leeching" is wrong.

From person exp. I can say my friend does this frequently. (Guess you could say this thread should be a "beware a leecher" thread)

Should this be considered a serious issue or personal opinion to create alts and mail to you original acc.?

You have to collect your own loot now, wich means you have to PLAY. You can't leave alts dead on the floor anymore.
The only thing I've been able to farm are minerals.

Best option is lichenous lairs. They lack party buttons, alts are safe at the beggining. It still too time consuming tho.

Your friend is actually loosing potential money by doing this.

I'll wait to grave this.

Thank you for all the input. I'll keep this up a few more days if anyone wants to add more.

Could be because Three Rings might start doing the "log in to recieve a reward" thing, now that mist is gone. Take the Companion Cu... (ahem) I mean Companion Box for example.
