No it is illegal you'll get banned

Gardosh

Account sharing is against the terms of service and will result in getting banned.

No against the tos he have to make he’s Owen account

I would use separate accounts.
I once tried to show the boy how to play and he got a piloting warning.

I once got a warning for playing on two devices a while back one at my house one at my girlfriend's. We live in the same town, so I'd hate to see how it'd work if you live in different countries.

They must have some kind of gameplay anti-cheat system.
I’ve played a lot longer than my son and he’s horrible at the game.

Was trying to walk/show him stuffikthrough act 3 and am of course a bit better than him. Did like 2 paths and almost immediately he got the pilot warning message in game.

Neither of us really care because we just play for fun.
It just made me wonder how mercs and modders stick around so long.

smdam38

For all the disagrees, he was at my house, logged in with his account on his phone.
Show me where that’s a ToS violation?

smdam38

I’ll quote them right now if you think I broke any ToS. Y’all probably haven’t even read ‘em.

I wouldn't take any notice, the serial disagree'ers can't read anyway. Yes account sharing is against the rules, but playing on two devices seems to flag it up too. Like I mentioned earlier I used to play on my iPad at home but when I was away for work or at girlfriends I used my iPhone this was a long time ago on my alt account so it's no Biggie either way, now I just use my iPhone all the time to be safe.

It’s not account sharing. Shouldn’t have to tell them that.
It’s not our “job” to weed out cheating. If what you say is true, you’ve broken none of their horribly written terms and conditions.

Nobody ever reads them but I got bored and decided to.

smdam38

I’ll be an expert at this for a day or two then move on to something else.

Horribly written? LOL.

How does playing on your kids account not violate this?

smdam38

It was his device with his account. This is so ridiculous and unenforceable.
My son is sitting next to me and I show him how to fight a round. Are you calling that piloting?

Good luck trying to enforce that.

MrSakuragi

Enforcement is a different issue, maybe they have methods to enforce it and maybe they don’t. Just like I don’t think they would really know if your son is 12 or 14 and can or can’t have an account.

I’m just saying it is clearly written that you cannot use anyone else’s account at any time.

You must have been doing something else. Kabam can't tell which of you is playing. They don't track your fingerprints or use the camera on the phone to track who is using the account like how you're describing. It's just not possible for you to do 1 or 2 fights and then all the sudden receive an in-game message about "piloting", Something tells me you're trying to fan the fire and telling fake stories.

This is what I'm thinking too because a message doesn't pop up, it would show the ban screen with a 7 day ban.

I mean we all got a random message a few months back reminding us that piloting isn't against ToS but I haven't ever heard of anyone receiving special messages warning against piloting.

smdam38

It’s still his account. I haven’t logged in with his username/password.
“Any and all activities?”
Kabaam now decides this?

Just because you put it in legal jargon doesn’t mean it’s actually legal.

That's exactly how it's legal because you AGREE to the ToS when you create an account. I am convinced at this point you're purposely being this ignorant.

Are you insane?
You’re the kind of dude that would become a human centipede thinking just because someone writes or copies and pastes something it’s somehow legal?

Definitely trolling.

smdam38

I’m honestly not and worried that you actually think anything put in a terms and conditions statement/policy is legally binding.

Good luck in life.

Check Termly for mobile app terms and conditions and see if it doesn’t look pretty similar. Then look at how many times the consumer won cases because of this:
The terms need to be fair

Read the ToS and tell me a judge would deem these fair.

I’m not calling you a pseudo intellectual, because I actually think you’re probably really smart.

I have no idea why I don’t like you but I just don’t.

Can’t lie about it. It happens. Some people don’t like other people. Probably be best friends if we ever met in real life, or not.

It’s maybe the way I think you talk down to people or because you’re really good at math and those guys were locker food in high school and I felt bad about that.

It’s definitely one of those things and I’m not gonna dissect which one it is and say it’s the second one but probably.

I just don’t want/need a ‘rival’ in life and especially over a game.

Not going to apologize for anything I said as it was all valid and we can hopefully argue amicably in the future.
But, will try to stop being a **** to you..

1. I haven't talked down to you. You feel that way because I challenged what you said.
2. I suck at math.
3. Nothing you said was valid nor was backed by actual facts.

Listen, I've paid a lot of lawyers to do a lot of things in my 50+ years on this planet. You can get any number of them to do whatever you want, but the starting cost is $5k for just basic boilerplate stuff, and lawsuits you can expect at least $10k. If anyone's willing to pay that, they'll take their chances at an outcome, and that's that. If you're lucky you settle, but those fee s add up like a mofo.

So you ask would a judge deem these fair? Pay the fee and find out.

What wasn’t valid?

Ok. It’s just money and we can all make more.
