Black markets in gaming is a massive industry and I really do feel for devs who have to manage the 99% of legit players alongside that 1% who’ll ruin it for the rest of us.
The Global? Constant "Give me revive!"
Alliance? Lemme take a trip down memory lane.
- There was always those who did zero preparation to tackle big content, then couldn't join AQ or AW coz champs were stuck and they didn't want to backout so it was up to team mates to bail them out.
- There were the ones who would ask for free stuff every once in a while and never pay it back.
- There were the fresh new recruits who just as the Welcomes were over, would announce they were just about to beat so and so... but needed help.
And the internal struggle of "do we help and watch yet another leecher quit on us as soon as he's got what he wanted", "Do we refuse and risk them quitting coz we look unfriendly".
We did enventually settle for No Asking for Items, Please. A rule which someone would always break at least once a week...
Yeh I was stoked when all that ended.
One of the reasons I use a VPN is solely so I can access this game. MCOC isn't region locked from my country, but the routing to Kabam's servers is stuffed from my ISP. I cannot connect reliably without a VPN, ironically, I don't even have to use a VPN server outside of my own country, just one that isn't the default route of my provider.
It is difficult to make penalties in MCOC more than annoying, because at moderate to high levels of mercing both the mercs and the customers would probably be prepared to buy replacement accounts on the grey market to replace anything that gets banned. It is possible to make things more troublesome and expensive though, which falls into the category of bright ideas I have that I'm sharing with Kabam only for now.
