Players Sharing Accounts for Seasonal Rewards
 

This is probably none of my concern but since the implementation of the seasonal leaderboards, players have been sharing accounts (some are blatantly obvious) and are still rewarded with gralats and plaques.

Attached to this post is the current #1 pker for the season. As you can see her flag changes from US and the Indonesian flag. I’m sure this has occurred for the other activities such as BK and Spar.

What evidence do you have that suggest this is another player and not a VPN? Or they aren't actually traveling? No idea why you would VPN for PK I guess.

The main question is, why would it matter? Players allow others on their accounts all the time, seasonal things or just simple get on their account to be a troll. Regardless. Not. Much can be done about it. Pretty sure as far as my knowledge goes letting others on your account is your control. But it's just wise to not do so or only let people you trust on it

GP’s are looking into it but this issue needs to be addressed since it’s against the rules to share accounts to gain an advantage over something. This also occurred the first time seasonal prizes were implemented with 2 players boasting about winning it on one account.

I doubt this player is traveling back and forth from Indonesia to the US in a short period of time. As for VPN, why would you do it for pking? I would understand evading a ban but for pking, makes no sense.

Yep. Report em in game for the same and they'll be under surveillance. We caught a few of the BK people doing this... who subsequently got banned after they were reported.

A ****ty connection allows you to survive longer in the crowded mod flag floor. Gives them more time to hunt people at .5. That's if she pks mod.

She pks in mod and she lags like **** , you'd have to spam and predict a bit to hit her

Never forget that in the very first season of the new rewards, the player that finished #1 in PKs (Sky) openly and admittedly shared her account so much that the news post actually cited the guy she shared with (Rewl) as the winner. She then made a status bragging about it on the day she got her trophy and went on to "dump" him a few days later.

But it also stops you from really being able to 0.5 hunt... your reaction is delayed extensively, and often someone with a clean connection (or someone spamming a random direction) will get there first, from my experiences.

Also makes it harder to accurately hit someone lol, Or it can make you DC from the lag.

Ouch. Now that's cold

Considering she's online during all time zones , and her flag is changing mostly during the evenings/mornings, suggests to me that one player gets on after the other one goes to sleep. if she was vpning , why wouldn't she just always pk on VPN instead of spending half the time on her normal wifi and half the time on VPN

For me when i switch devices the amount of spar wins i have on leaderboard changes so idk lol. Like if i get 300 wins on pc and then go on idev they wont show up on idev, or a different pc im p sure. So idk how pks work but wouldnt it be the same thing?

And also, who cares about acc sharing for pk trophy? Pks is even more activity based then sparring and theres 0 skill involved so i dont see why anyone gives a **** tbh, who pks anymore lol

She wouldn't get as much kills if she was always on VPN lol

Not saying you're wrong but
Why is Darkk a wall-sparer? Why are all strong delayers wall sparers? Same idea applies to MoD pkng.

My MoD pk experience is limited to less than a month total. I don't pk with my wifi because I can't run through people or swords. Since my wifi connection is stronger than my LTE it registers more actions being sent to my device.


I don't VPN, but my crappy Srint LTE is probably close to it. I pk mob areas with my LTE because it registers less actions. I just apply the same wall spar concept and go defensive. I will spam the flag area for my .5 noobs and go to the wall to wait for other pkrs running around.

That's my personal experience.

The same idea does apply, I just don’t think it’s quite as advantageous in pk as it is in sparring. Those with a moderate or higher amount of delay survive longer than the normal pker, but it isn’t uncommon for them to kinda just be mindlessly spamming and more praying for kills than actually being able to hunt them down. Though delayers with more skill can get around this by prediction, I find that most don’t have that kind of prediction.

Spamming the flag area works well for everyone, so I’m not sure if it adds any extra kills to have delay or not. I’ve also never personally had that kind of delay (or not for an extended period of time, to where I could practice with it) so I’m not exactly sure how it would change your ability to survive.

I also would imagine it depends how busy MoD is, because if it’s really packed I bet it would be a nice boost, but if it is slow than it probably would be to your detriment.
