Permanent sitting is just a loophole around having more than two accounts.

That is true Binky, not using farming accounts puts you at a disadvantage. The only thing 'normal' about it is that most people doesn't use farm accounts.
I am not sure if not holding sitter accounts (or not having alt accounts) qualifies someone as stupid though. That is the way many people like to play. It is only a personal preference to not use it. Letting players create as many accounts as they wish can also be called fair (as the rules are same for everyone). Despite that most online games restrict players to one account per server. Again it is only a personal opinion that permasitting/multi-accounts should be disabled in the game. |

Sorry, Ander, but I don't see your point. You call players without sitting accounts "normal" but imo they are just plain stupid for not using the rules to their advanage. Like I said, everybody can do it, so everybody is able to sustain same troop numbers.

The problem with permasat accounts is leeching gold. One could have 4 permasat accounts in some training alliance, only to produce large amounts of gold and resources. The player need not even play the farm accounts - he just has to log in once a month to ship the gold and resources. That main account could then hold troop numbers that are not possible to sustain by a normal player. If you remember, there was some outrage during the start of this war when some 'inactive' accounts outside of any alliances were targeted and destroyed. Sat accounts being leeched for years and years is not good for the game imo. |

Is anyone assuming that passing of accounts and dualling isn't happening now? I've seen the sitter function being abused with intimidation in other games so not very keen on that as a security blanket. I'd like to see all accounts deleted around the 1000-1200 day mark - limited life in a permanent world. |

I don't see any problems in perma sitting. There's still a limit on the number of accounts (6 instead of 2) and it is available for everyone. It's not unfair, because everybody can use it and sat accounts are nowhere as good as the standard accounts a player can have. I don't even think it's possible to play 6 accounts unless one would stop sleeping and working.
I really don't understand the problems people have with permasitters. Is it because you don't have them you feel others shouldn't? Turn that around and just start sitting a quitter to make things equal again. It's part of the rules one can sit 4 accounts, and those rules are the same for everyone so please stop saying it's bad for ballance in the game. The fact that you don't know what players has which accounts is still there when you delete all permasat accounts. It just gets a bit easier to determine where the accounts belong. Simplifying the game doesn't improve it imo. Au contraire |

I dont understand the continued thread after thread about sitting. The devs had said they will deal with perceived issues when they get to it, not because we keep banging on about it. In any case, the community can sort sitting issues out just as quickly as the devs can. No-one is being forced to sit an account, so if you don't agree with sitting, then simply stop. There's no unfair advantages from one group of player(s) to the next, its not an exploit its a game rule.

As I have said in many other permasitter threads:
If you remove or cripple the sitter function, it will only encourage players to give their login and password to other players. That's a security problem. The security risk outweighs the in-game problems caused by permasitters. |
