I voted "disagree". Although i recognize and sympathize with the problem/issue of alts as they pertain to the wars and other aspects of the game, i just dont agree with the solution presented here as all it seems to do is eliminate one issue in favor of another, another issue that some might argue is even a bigger problem. To many aspects of the game are already handicapped which essentially take away from the whole point of getting stronger, playing smartly/strategically and build strong relationships with Allies. These games shouldnt be trying to create/promote parody....They should reward hardwork and dedication or whats the point of any of it?
There is no doubt there is still an abundance of alts despite Kanos efforts , but as others have said there definitely appears to be some inconsistency on how Kano deals with some in comparison to others. Perhaps even more disturbing is that they continue to focus more on the alts themselves rather than the accounts that create them.
Its pretty obvious to me anyways that in some of the games there are guild/armadas etc. that are entering the wars for the sole purpose of helping other guilds/armadas etc. Are they made up of alts? It certainly looks like it from a players perspective. I just wish Kano would be a bit more proactive when it comes to investigating players, guilds/armadas etc especially when it comes to competitions such as the wars and arenas that actually have rewards tied to their results. The history of some of these accounts/guilds/ armadas etc paint a pretty clear picture. Personally I would think an influx of new low member count guilds /armadas that are being both created and joining the wars would be a red flag not to mention that some dont do anything other than heal
For starters...require a guild/armada to be in existence for a minimum amount of time b4 being eligible for the wars, perhaps more importantly require a guild/armada have a minimum number of players to be eligible (15). With these minimums it will be much more obvious if they are all or mostly alts.by looking at their history. To truly hide the tendencies/traits of that many alts will take much more work by their host which will at the very least take away a bit from their main game. Even though its already obvious when guild/armadas that only have a couple of players that rarely if ever play heal only when the same guilds can kill them time and time again.....perhaps the minimums will make it even MORE OBVIOUS for Kano or at least slow down the cheating guilds/armadas enough so that legitimate honest guilds/armadas have a chance to get in a few licks themselves and perhaps steal a kill
