    thats the whole point, multi client. alot of people dont play sota. they see it as an "investment"

    thats why everyone is foaming at the mouth every telethon for "rares". not of ingame enjoyment, but future profit

    I understand what @Cream2 is doing, and they are right, it will work...

    Problem is though @Cream2, you just played the biggest card in your favor... You talked...

    If you would have ran that operation and just been quiet, you might have went un-noticed under the radar for awhile, but now...

    Here ya go, @Chris... All yours brother...

    I commend you, finally someone who understands satire.

    When truth is banned and locked, satire still finds room to get the message across

    Yes, it's amazing how much more effective communication is, when it's not hyperbolic.

    Weight doesn't apply, only item amount.

    Edit: And like items stack so do not take up item space beyond 1

    Perhaps Cream is not planning on actually DOING this. Perhaps it is just a thread to point out potential flaws? I think so.

    nice way to say it - - when I posted how bad the idea was in simple terms it gets whacked

    this is just ONE way this can and WILL be abused

    Well then there is one simple solution, put a cap on pooled experience for visitor accounts at one million, yea you could get all skills to 50 but how much experience is that really?

    They have the technology, they just turned it off. They could bring back bank weight limits just for the trial accounts.

    And yes, a pool XP cap should be trivial to implement as well.

    If accounts with producer exp make massive profits, not sure why having to invest an initial $40 would change how you operate or cuts into your profits in any way. Someone could be doing this right now, and surely if there are massive profits to be made they are already doing it.

    The new system does, however, encourage essentially risk free botting if exp and items are allowed to transfer uncapped. A cap on experience would be reasonable as the intent is to get people to try the game, not hoard xp and resources.
