95% AFK - Multiboxing Accounts on Hunts

However, with Boundless there is a legitimate use for it as has been described; to push for bigger meteors.

I can’t remember the number of people that is required for each meteor tier, but the “it will bring larger meteors” is always the excuse. I have been on MANY hunts and let’s be honest it is usually so that you can get more Oort and/or loot. Is it wrong for someone to want more loot? No… but to always use the reasoning that it allows for bigger meteors, while true, isn’t always the reasoning and to even say that is a legitimate reason is iffy at best.

@HOST

The reason why people use alts is because the playerbase is not as high yet,

Quite true, but I did 8 hunts over the weekend. Some with 4 people, some with 20 people and some number between those and in the end I wound up with about the same amount of Oort, but not the same amount of loot (creature items). I own about 20 accounts that I have bought to give out during streams and I could very well boot up all 20 accounts (on one PC or multiple) and do meteors by myself, but personally I prefer not to do that if that were against some form of TOS and it’s just not something I want to do.

@QuimbyBoundless

Just put a 5 minute afk timer that automatically sends you to the sanctum when time is up.

Some for AFK timer would be best. Probably makes the most sense to me to be honest. I think 5 minutes might be a bit extreme, but it could be a 5 minute timer that puts them in a state of “phased out” then disconnect them after 15 minutes.

All in all we can all put our two cents in and it will come down to how Monumental and the new team views it. They have already expressed a concern for not wanting AFK players and one can assume that will be the case with hunts. As @majorvex stated:

@majorvex

As players, we can only state our subjective opinions. Using someone else’s account or bringing along 10 alts/chars/etc to a hunt would be frowned upon and probably elicit an insta-ban in many other games. If you’re ok with playing that way in Boundless, that’s a risk that you’ll have to own. Can we tell you for certainty whether or not you’ll be banned for it or help you gauge that risk in some way? Nope. We’ll have to wait and see what the new rules entail.
