When will something be done about intentional trains?

[chtulu]

Obviously there are no harsh repercussions or people wouldn't be making low level alts to harass people in groups.

Allurah, a low level character, was training Lord's group for a few hours. While this person was training she would whisper people telling them to not "fuck with DA".

People like this have no place in any form of society. I hope actions like these are taken seriously.

Even if there were, whats to prevent someone from continueing to create level 1 characters and training people?

I'm open to suggestions.

30 day ban from all accounts that connected from the same IP within a certain timespan - if people would lose their mainchars for a month (or probably after warnings forever) they most likely wont train and that would decimate the amount of trainers alot [You must be logged in to view images.

tho just an idea - since like EVERYTHING is exploitable or fakeable or whatever... there might be lots of ways to get them, but none are bulletproof....

Make it a week, or something like that, and maybe you will escape the ban. Either way, if this method was introduced, and announced before hand, I think there would be a lot less training

Still wondering how banning accounts logged in from an IP that trained will decrease the amount of training that happens, particularly if people can spoof their IP and make new accounts to do so. All this would do is deter people from sharing accounts, not training, and seeing as how account sharing isn't against the rules at all, it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah i guess you are right, I didnt really think about howpeople can easily get new Ips,

How about a custom command such as /trained that relays to the server GM's like a petition, but a "Alert: I've been trained JUST NOW" that GM's can allow to take specific topic priority over regular /petitions.

Players should add names and a description after the command, so "soandso trained me" gets priority over "omg we just got trained help me find who it was."

Obviously, you would need to make clear that the command is to be used for TRAINS ONLY and mis-use is subject to punishment.

Thoughts?

IP bans work, and you can make excuses for why it won't, but it's the way to stop it. Period.

Just tossin a few ideas for chewing on.

Take zones like SolB, LGuk and auto port anyone under level 15 to the entrance of the parent zone?

or

Take zones like SolB, LGuk and tag pvp flag to anyone under level 15 who enters so that the present player base can nip the problem in the bud

or

Adopt a hard stance against disruptive behavior and put everyone on notice.. you have 30-days to change your password etc.. From that point on, any account connected with the disruptive behavior (disruptive behavior to be defined by staff) may given a 7-day suspension with higher time allotments for repeat offenders. This would apply to all accounts linked

and

by default block proxy connections to the game server with the ability to white list specific accounts who could apply for an exception.

Just ideas ...
