Question to admins about account info sharing..

Member Posts: 3
I was recently removed from an alliance because I couldn't get up earlier to move in AW and they didn't have my account info to log in and move me up. They had been insistent on having my info, and apparently most of the alliance had to give up their info and acted like it was no big deal.
I'm curious, is this a common or accepted practice? I didnt read in the ToS where it was explicitly prohibited, only that kabam wasn't responsible for anything if people shared info.
I should note that this was my first alliance that ran 5x5 and was around 10 mil, so I'm concerned about this being a common practice among other top alliances for them to stay competitive.
Any input is welcome, but I'd appreciate an admin clarifying this for me.

And also @PsycloneJack unfortuntely it is very common.
It does appear to be more common in the bigger allies that run map 6 due to the very strict timetables to complete it.
Account sharing is like speeding on the highway. It is against the rules to speed. If caught, you risk getting a fine and points. The faster you go, the bigger the punishment. And speeding at one location might not generate the same punishment as speeding at another.
So just because 2 people were caught going 55 in a 30 mile/hr zone, it doesn't follow they get the same punishment (e.g. one was speeding in a school zone while the other was not).
But ... not everyone gets caught.
In the MCOC world, however, "not everyone gets caught" is viewed as not enforcing the rules at all or the rules are being enforced by incompetents. If 2 people going 55 in a 30 mile/hr zone gets different punishment, then one is getting favoritism because he's rich and famous or brings in revenues.
And you just proved my point when I said, "If 2 people going 55 in a 30 mile/hr zone gets different punishment, then one is getting favoritism because he's rich and famous or brings in revenues."
It's like he went to somebody else's wedding and grabbed the mic at the reception to describe his escapades with the bride.. And then showed the video, smiled at the groom who he knew wouldn't do anything, grabbed a bottle of champagne, kissed the maid of honor, grabbed a handful of cake, and walked out.
Agreed. Account sharing is against the rules and it is cheating... plain and simple. I am not into the competitive part of the game that much (I mean I play to win things but not too worried about the outcome) so I don't get that upset about the ranking issues it causes but I can understand the anger of those players who follow the rules getting beat by these cheaters.
What's even funnier is the account sharers who try to rationalize their actions by making Kabam the bad guy, and make statements like "I'm sorry for wanting to have a life outside of MCoC." The Kabam CEO apparently put a gun to their Alliance leader's head and forced them to run Map 6 on Valentine's Day or something. Kabam doesn't place time demands on anyone. Alliances do. If you can't meet the time demands of your Alliance, then find a new Alliance.
And then his tweet doubled down on the “kabam is my *****” move.
I’ve been warned 3x. That’s why i have to pump the breaks on this issue. But myself and @Dropfaith know what the move by kabam should be, and what the move by kabam is going to be.
Right. Look at prior “punishments” for admitted account sharing. Nada.
Just looked it up. Yeah, he's really worried about what kabam might do to him lmao.
Total **** slap. And then tells them, now make me dinner!!
Other than that I highly doubt they give 2 sh!t's about account sharing.
Having said that, the arrogance that follows is just disrespectful. I don't usually skip the wordy responses and put things bluntly, but in this case I'll make an exception. If he had any sense or respect for the situation, he'd consider himself lucky and show some restraint. Then again, silence is not his forte.
Forum rules must be more sacred and better enforced than actual games rules i guess. Only possible answer.
The Program hadn't even existed when he was given Howard.
I’m sure I’m heading there soon.
Lol.
Let’s get this trending. Lol #banhisass
Let’s not forget There was one more incident too. Oh yeah. When he logged into someone else’s account and opened crystals. He also Streamed that. How many chances does one person get?
Like i said in the other thread. The problem is the example it sets. Not suspected account sharing. Admitted sharing. And no action. Why would current pilots stop if they see that
And then gave a middle finger to them in aa tweet afterwards
Report the alliance to Kabam then create a new forum account to register interest in being recruited somewhere else.
