I agree, that kind of use of alts is the thing i'm acknowledge at the beginning is illegal/frowned upon. And that group leader is frankly a moron for giving packs to his alts instead of active players.

And well, using alts in the same server is 'illegal', as is selling/buying (especially this).

However, Oasis doesn't really enforce the ban on alts; most high level players have access to at least one alt/account. Also being given an account by somebody else who leaves is a grey area i believe; Oasis won't help u if you lose an account b/c u gave the password out, but they don't really ban you either as far as i know.

Unless you literally go to them and tell them 'I have *t, my account name is *x. Are you gonna ban me?'... :)

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?
