You all know InfoBot, yeah? Well they just sent out a reminder about their services where a team completes parts of the game for you for money.
They claim you won't get banne because they don't use mods. Wouldn't that still be bannable, even if they don't use mods, because it's considered account sharing?

Never seen one get banned for account sharing
Is basically an app that gives you news about the game.
if you dont want to be banned, follow the ToS
Because people are idiots. Many people are willing to assert things like "they won't ban people for account sharing because everyone does it" and "they only ban for mods, 'normal' sharing is fine" and "they can't really tell who's account sharing so they can't ban for it."
In the general case, it is very difficult to prove someone account shared. Key words: in the general case. If someone is offering a commercial mercenary service to complete content for other players and they get on someone's radar, that can theoretically be traced on a case by case basis. If it is worth the trouble, you can figure this out. Deciding to make an example of a merc might make it worth the time.
A pet peeve of mine is the person who believes that it is impossible to "prove" they did something wrong, so they double down on any accusation of wrongdoing. Its the whole "you can't possibly prove I did this wrong thing, so the fact that you are accusing me implies you are someone willing to accuse someone of wrong doing without evidence, which makes you the bad person." They are never as clever as they think they are.
They won't ban accounts for sharing. They know they will take a big $$$ hit. It would affect way more accounts then most people would think.
Its the Merc's they don't want and hacks/3rd party cheats. This is my personal opinion so it holds no value but I know Kabam aren't stupid/naive.
Sure, and I bet every account banned was only for modding.....smgdh
I haven't been using infobot for long but I lost complete respect for them when I saw these services being offered just as I have no respect for anyone who has to cheat to get ahead. Time to start making examples of these people.
Make an example, do some investigations, ban the serial offenders for 14 days. This doesn't warrant a permanent ban or anything like that. That's all you need to do and this will stop. Send out a warning in-game mail that anyone caught paying someone else to play on their account will be issued an appropriate punishment for breaking the TOS. If you really want to scare people shitless, echo out that message again that cheaters and "mercenaries" will have their Uncollected status permanently removed, so they will be ineligible for any benefits that come from being Uncollected.
Kabam actually owns all accounts in their game. It is not unlawful, therefore, to determine what can or cannot be done with them. Furthermore, I personally know players who have been banned for account sharing. Also, Kabam doesn't own the copyrights to most of the stuff in the game because it is marvel characters and they are using the unity game engine, not their own.
You can absolutely ban someone for Account Sharing because it violates TOS. It is not illegal. What is illegal, is profiting from the digital property of Kabam. Which is what these people who are racketeering are doing. There is nothing illegal about enforcing the TOS that everyone agrees to, which state that no one is allowed to share Accounts, and we are not allowed to give our Login Information to anyone. For any reason.
You dont own anything in regards to the game. They have made that clear with their regard to change whatever purchase you make in the game. Illegal? No, its not. Every website, game, forum, whatever it is, all have their rules, regulations, terms of service. And they can all very easily ban you for breaking that content. Tell Mark Zuckerburg hes not allowed to ban an account because that person owns it. They clearly state in their TOS they own all content, and they do.

This is all fun kids, but nonsense about account sharing, bans, snitching, youtube kids making hack videos, jackasses playing games for other jackasses for pay, sniping on message boards, in the big picture it's all a joke and largely inconsequential for a game worth $800 million. No one in senior management cares about account sharing or mods.
Multiple Accounts is allowed. Sharing Accounts is not.
