Multiple Accounts

[Dirt]

i have a second account. i will go to church on sunday and repent. i also have 2 cars, 3 kids and 1 job. should i have only one plate in my cupboard because theres only one of me? twats. the only reason i can think of why someone would be buthurt cuz i have a second player is that they cant grief-kill my crafter without me trying to log my tank in and defend him. i also log my wifes account sometimes and craft a basket. suck eggs. sometimes, as you got on with life, you find yourself able to afford more things than you could when you were a whiny, know it all kid who expects things to be given to them. still only 3 in my homestead so please, how do i have some sort of advantage?
Esudar said " you have to live with what you got." i do, i live with the 2 accounts i got.

maybe ill try the anglican church. i'll ask for forgiveness but im keeping the accounts. i will also ask for forgiveness for previous wall of crap.

Multiple accounts is standard practice in MMOs and has been for years. To those acting like this is some sort of shock, you may wish to broaden your horizons. To MMO vets who are nevertheless complaining about this as if it's cheating, I can't say I understand where you're coming from (unless you take RP really really seriously, which I suppose I can understand).

Ok, let me get this straight. Having several people run (several) different accounts to gain different skill sets and all having access to those characters when needed is just fine and not someone elses bloody business - but one person using automated keyclicking to establish more or less the same thing is an abomination and a display of the worst humanity has to offer?

Big problem with your argument. Macroing is against the TOS,however, having multiple accounts is not. That is their rule.

Also, have you ever heard of families? Or have you ever heard of roomates living in the same apartment, playing the same game on different computers.

Very weak attempt at raising up macroing as something justifiable. Next...

Big problem with your argument; Was not talking about what was in the rules or not.

I was talking about the hypocrisy in peoples opinions. Regardless of whether it is against the rules, I fail to see that those two scenarios are not quite similar for many intents and purposes. So if you justify one, why is the opinion on the other vehemently opposite? Whats the difference between someone macroing basketry in his off hours and Dirt using his wifes parallel trained account to achieve the same effect?

And yes, I have heard about families. Wonderful concept. And I am living your second scenario even. Do I win a prize?
Fail to see what it has do with my question though?

I suspect you read something in my question that was not there. I have no issue with multiaccounting.

Dirts admitted use of his wifes account is a violation of the ToS, I might add. Want me to go all "LAME ASS CHEATER! ACCOUNT SHOULD BE DELETED" on you, Dirt?

This is not Dirt, though after reading his posts, I repsect the guy. Plus I highly doubt (seeing his good attitude), that he would try the lameness of posting from his alt acct. to support his argument, because I know that is what you are suggesting here.

I understand you are doing a hypothetical here, but is still does not change what is.

Playing on an alt account is not like macroing. In one instance (playing alt acct.), you are still playing, thus, pressing the keys, etc.. In the other instance (macroing), you are not playing, thus the problem with your comparison. It's like comparing stealing (for more money), to having an extra job( for more money). Understand?

First; I was not implying anything. In that instance I was talking to Dirt, not you. Never even thought that you might be the same guy. Stop acting on assumptions.

And you are completely off the ball on the other one. You keep bringing up the basis of the arguments as an argument in itself. "Why is an apple not blue? Because its green."

What is the difference in the advantage Dirt gains, whether the account was played by a macro or his wife? Or do you mean that the advantage is not a problem, as long as you pay for it?
I am losing track of the criteria that macros are judged on.

And you comparison between stealing and jobs is faulty as well. First of all; in both cases it is against the rules. Using someone elses account is against the ToS. So is macroing.
Second of all, its more like someone owning two factories and another guy owning one factory. And the first one wants to keep it illegal for the second to install conveyor belts because he does not want to or can't figure out how to use them. While completely ignoring that owning two factories is illegal too.
