Multiple Account Wars

Without getting into details, we're in a War at the moment. The majority of the Ally is one person. How do I know? Let's just say they're not creative in their IGNs. All derivatives and/or same names. How it's a problem is it's the same person, same skill level, and they're almost halfway done the Map before we've even started taking Nodes down. Now, I don't know for sure, but I suspect they look into cases such as this. It may fall under Piloting. That's not really what I wanted to debate. Should there be preventative measures or regulations to prevent these Wars? It's not at all fair for people to encounter. I'm not even sure what kind of measures you could put into place. Thoughts?

You ever think they all changed their name to match each other
All changed their name to match each other, all on at the same time, all moving in tandem, all seemingly getting through with the same ease.....right.
Ok then. Let's say, hypothetically, one particularly skilled person has 30 Accounts and an incredible amount of free time. Said person makes their way up the rungs and earns Platinum Rewards every Season, hoarding a spot and Rewards meant for 30 people. Does that seem fair? No. When you have a competitive game mode such as War that's meant to reward team efforts, and an added Ranking system such as Seasons, that's not fair at all. It's the same thing as Piloting, without the Account Sharing. It creates a monopoly on positions in the competition and boosts Main Accounts using Alts.
If it was just Wars and not Seasons, I wouldn't agree with it, but it would affect me less. When it's a Ranked system, that adds another layer. As a Leader, it's my job to organize and encourage my guys to push forward so we can try to make progress every Season. It's a slow process, as most people know. We're not hardcore, but we earn the best we can with what we have going. It's just a burn to try and get ahead when there are people running entire Allies we have to compete with. It's not even about the Win or Loss. It's about the fair play aspect. We're working our tails off individually and others are running amok. That could be the one spot that finishes us in the next Bracket. It was designed for Allies, not individuals.
I don't see any issue if someone wants to do it. Some people are control freaks like that. As far as being fair, there are lots of things that aren't fair, and this is a game. Get over it.
You may not agree with it but the rules say it's ok. Cant penalize a guy for having multiple accounts and free time.
I know plenty of people who own 3 and 4 accounts. And are very skilled. They have the time power to them.
I would like to see what kind of state the game would be in if every problem that came up, we just said, "Things aren't fair. Get over it.".
Multiple Accounts isn't the issue. It's running entire BGs and Allies in War.
How is this not fair. That person took kabams word they could have multiple accounts, put in the work and/or money to enjoy the game and not have to rely on alliance mates. This is the epitome of fair.
Honestly its like saying someone having more time to grind arena than you is unfair.
To the point about 30 people/30 rewards, that's never explicitly stated and more an assumption by users. Its 30 accounts/30 rewards.
At this point, there is no rule against this, but they also havent said its allowed.
As someone else pointed out, two accounts is fine, three accounts is fine, where is the line? the only thing I can think of is finally accepting one account per person per alliance. You can have multiple accounts, but in different alliances. and I know this would upset a few people.
You see it as a large problem, but there would have to be a large number of one man alliances for it to be a large problem. Even if we grant that it is a problem it's actually a very small problem and not one worth doing anything about imo as it doesn't violate the TOS.
But he is playing as 30 people simultaneously. Same amount of effort put forward. We disagree on the large problem and unfortunately we don't have a say in this. Kabam does. and they're letting it happen.
The bigger line being crossed here is one person imposing his wishes upon everyone else in the name of "fairness". That's complete hypocrisy to try to take away from the effort players have made creating accounts.
