I know a lot of you will not agree with me, mostly the ones who benefit from this exploitation, but I will be putting in support tickets anytime I see this sort of thing going down. Whether or not OTM will take action is another story - however I do know this. Looking up IP's is not a tough thing to do when it comes to people connecting to servers - OTM will easily know if people are sharing accounts plain and simple.

You could report then However I'd suggest you're wasting you time, OTM simply can not go around banning people because a person says they are sharing account's. Hek I will log in now and report 10 random people and say hey are account sharing and see if I can get them banned (wont do it just example) you simply need more proof then just word or mouth

No one has been banned for it andi doubt they ever will be OTM simply don't have the resources and man power for something so small

Perhaps they can check ip addresses on the server logs to determine if an account has been shared.

If you are connecting to their server, they know your IP. If they see you have connected from multiple IP's around the country (or world), its obvious you are sharing accounts. This is easy stuff that you dont even have to do any extra setup to track. I know from experience - I have a server in my home used for hosting websites.

And what about people who don't have a Static IP address? And it changes daily according to there Internet provider?

Or what about people that use 3G? Orange? O2? T-Mobile? there mobile network provider? ITs a lot more complex than your making out

IP address are always traceable to a certain area man. Its easy to compare and find out if someone connects from florida, then again from canada.

It would also be in OTM's favor to track these things. If a few people are screwing things up for a lot more people, and those people get discouraged and stop buying plat, OTM loses.

Your missing my point again let me define it again for you,

(Information from yahoo.answeres and 3G blog spot for mobile non-wifi users)


"Mobile data works the same way as Native Address Translation (NAT), but the mobile network doesn't use IP internally. Mobile phones don't have an IP address. Mobile phone uses the operator mobile communication network to reach GGSN, which is the gateway to IP networks and Internet in general. The IP address you see is the address of an operator (provider)
GGSN (Gateway GPRS Support Node)
Hence, currently you can only create mobile originated data connections between an IP server and mobile phone. The MSISDN (or more commonly, phone number) of the SIM apple is the identifying number for a mobile phone."

"When you connect to the Internet through a modem or Wi-Fi hotspot, the IP address through which you connect to the Web doesn't change. Connectivity over 3G network, however, is another matter. The nature of mobile broadband access means that your 3G device changes IP addresses frequently" ( notice the bit highlited in BOLD) (using 3G as a example)

Right

So answer this IP changes frequently for Mobile networks I'm in no doubt that lots of CH player use Mobile network for Internet connection.. So we have the statement above stats mobile network Ip changes FREQUENTLY, but wait you said they can be narrowed down to a certain location obv yes... But what happens when you are TRAVELING (for work or whatever other reasons) every carries there phone on them all times ( one day I'm working in New Jersy 3 days later I'm working in Florida 2 different IP addresses in 2 different places yes? So I should get banned for that?)

Read carefully u seem to be not reading main facotors smoke's

I understand your point evasive. I have a lot of experience with mobile and know that the IP address changes often. You are correct that it would be tough to narrow things down as people would have many IP's that they could connect from. However, as you stated, most players do not use the mobile network when playing CH. Business trips are one thing, but players sharing accounts happens often. A connection can be in one region in the morning, and another at night. This, repeated on a daily basis, is an obvious red flag.

I think, if it became a real problem, OTM would do the necessary digging on a case by case basis. Remember, its not the whole server thats creating an issue here - its just a few bad apples.

Good luck, Smokes!

Don't mean to sound like a defeatist, but try not to get frustrated When nothing happens to your reports. As I said previously, Much larger companies than OTM has rarely enforced this aspect of their ToS (and afaik, all the MMO games I've played had something like it).

I just find it ironic that of all the Characters to talk about being fair it would come from SmokesAlot.

I realize that your not the "real" SmokesAlot and that you have been "given" your brothers characters to "play"

But wait... is that fair?
Why should you be allowed to play someones characters because they are "more powerful"
Some how I think you have just reported yourself to OTM...

I am the real sirsmokesalot. I was given my brothers characters, luminous, rancid, azure, but I don't play them. How am I breaking TOS? Lol

I assume you are referring to when I ksed people as ironic. This would be true, except I never broke the rules - I played fair.

Meh I used this account while I was on holidays in a different county and country
