Recruitment Conflict(s)

[Mishba]

Glitchless,

First things first, the recruitment process is flawed. The link provided in game upon request needs to be click copy/paste enable on both ends of the transaction in game mode. Requiring outside media interaction (email or the like) to do an in game function is unacceptable. This should be an easy fix.

Now the main issue.

Is the recruitment skill for any new account or only for new players. This should not be an area for personal opinion. This needs to be a straight yes or no, I can accept it being either but I cannot accept guessing. If the answer is its only for new players, what is the fix to rebalance the playing field. When I asked if it was an exploit in /civ yesterday several established players stated yes and that it was encouraged. Not one person said it was an exploit. In the other thread, the response's went from and account sharing issue to being basically being called scum for exploiting a loop hole.

You didn't address it other than explain that a connection wasn't made between account and to recreate and try again. This is wrong on several levels, if it was a flaw in the system and you just say try again, not fixing it with a credit or the skill being adjusted to reflect the purchase that's wrong. If you know this is a loop hole and an exploit and want to turn a blind eye to make the extra it and just tell us how to do it right, that's wrong.

My assumption that this was another pay to play option / add-on could very well been wrong but it seems like everything is, standard account, premium account, grinder, acc 2x acc, virtues, storage, and even extra rrt is paid with by tcs that have to be mainly purchased.
Either way, I need answer on this before I kill one more boss in my stupid Pilg, 10 to 20% bonus is huge.

PS Btw, my programmer gave me some real insight to the issue of account sharing and bots. I feel for you on this issue, I can post a thread on their assessment or email it to you, your call.

We agree. The recruitment system as it stands is not ideal, and a revamp is coming down the pipe when we install the new storefront. Right now, it _is_ acceptable for two different people to make special characters with each other's referral links in order to make purchases that will give recruitment bonuses to each other. You just can't do it for your own characters. If you are trying to do this, don't make a purchase unless the recruiter got the confirmation upon the new account's creation. Players are encouraged to do this. It's not considered an exploit.

We are likely to change it so that at the time of purchase you can simply assign another character to get the recruitment bonus so everyone can benefit from it. The idea would be that you are rewarding the person who you find most valuable to you in the game, regardless of any linkage at the time of creation.
