Which is the illegal part of your suggestion. Alt themselves are not illegal, but using them to gain an unfair advantage is. It might not be strongly enforced but that doesn't make it a better move. The point on plunder is to force you to wait and pick wisely who you think you can beat, do they have support, can you beat them as well? That's why you get the better reward. You are gaining an unfair advantage of players that don't have the time to play multiple accounts.

I run multiple alts all in the same group, because at the time I started doing it, we didn't have enough activity for war or enough people to even have a decent battle. This is an acceptable usage for alt accounts. Purposely farming for plunder or sage is not cool.

How would it be an unfair advantage? Someone has to play the accounts to make them count for activity. How is that any different if it's me or you? If I have an account in your group, and you have one in mine, how is that any different if we had our own in our own group?

The accounts aren't being boosted. Which is what is illegal in pretty much any game. They have earned their activity rate. So how is there an advantage? Not to mention anyone can- always join another group, if they are truly a dead group that doesn't qualify. I kept a dying group alive to prevent the server from going down to a single active group because they couldn't get into the group that always won, and it kept getting poached of all it's higher level players. So lower level players could earn packs and the server would stay more active. Do you think that's an unfair advantage? You think it's fair that only 1 group always gets the packs and no one else does because they are lower level?

So helping an entire group of people, and accepting anyone from other groups that wanted to join in war but couldn't in their own group is bad. (After it got ripped apart by other groups for it's strong members.) Just as bad as boosting only yourself. Got it.

The problem with that was the main group on the server was full. So where do all the level 60-80 guys go? To another dead group? Don't they deserve to at least get some packs even if only Elite? It made more sense to just get the group to qualify and then attract any other people that couldn't get into that other group, making the alts irrelevant. But it was a necessary step to prevent the 1 server, 1 group, no GNW, problem that plagues so many other servers. But whatever, apparently I'm wrong for helping out other players. It's just as bad as people that farm their alts, only to help themselves. Next time I'll make sure to not carry a group for months at my own expense. Forget all the other players, if they don't make it, oh well. "They can just join another group."
