Default Alt clan war exploit fix

Exploit: Clan A(main clan) Clan B(alt clan) Clan C(alt clan)

Clan A goes to war whit clan C, Clan B goes to war whit clan C.. Main in clan A as main clan and clan B as 2nd clan.. alt of clannie in clan C only.. Main kills alt of clannie and no rune power is lost totally. thats a exploit..

Heres my sugjestion:

set up a database linking email and ip of toons up whit each other so you find out who is who's alts, then you link these up again whit all in that clan. then you set it to default that those cant kill each other due to beeing in same clan.

Pros and Cons: Pro: rune power loss exploit fixed.

Con: alt clan wars will be permanently taken out of service.

Interesting. Easy way around is to make sure any player participating in alt clan war does not have toons in both clans. Ergo, Clans can still do alt wars, but players participating must have all their toons in either the alt clan or alt clan and a non-warring clan.

We already have a system in place to help minimize this by checking IP addresses. If you can demonstrate that it is not working (as in you get credit when killing your own characters on same IP's) please let us know.

Glitch, you work hard to try to prevent people from coming up with these exploits but the current system is just too easy to exploit, and people are just too lazy. I hate to say it, but I think you should do away with war as a requirement and add another system. Perhaps people could sacrifice trophies to the clan for "clan exp" or something. Because alt wars are an exploit that aren't going away. After all, you can't kill your own alt, but it's no harder to kill someone else's.

Thanks Hotshot, this is what i mean.. make it imposible to kill alt of a other clan mate.

If this is exploited again by 1 person leaving all his clans to join alt clan it ends up a lot less rewarding for exploiters and would fix it..

Thanks for responce Glitchless, funny i was first one to report this long ago back in 2009 i think and got time cards for this then, yet its still a problem.

someone can very easily kill their own toons in alt war. all they need is two computers.

2 comps, 2 emails, 2 ips. and to never cross the 2 over.

as hard as it sounds, i have seen it done myself.

id welcome something different besides this retarded sham of a war system, but tbh, i cant thing of a better system that would have less bugs and less abuse.
