It is of course understandable that you prefer to handle stuff like this internally and avoid mobs and witch-hunts at the forums, like with the auto blocker issue. But no matter his intentions for posting this, "playing the hero" or feeling ignored after a month of waiting, leaving this issue at the sideline and not investigating it is the wrong decision.
Multi-accounting is for Strategus what the Autoblocker is for cRPG, the worst kind of cheating, one that deserves to be punished. Also those accused would also have an interest in getting there names cleared should they be innocent.
This will certainly create a lot of waves and rightfully so, everyone desires a level playing field and a fair game. No matter your personal feelings about making this public, things like this should be investigated and those found guilty punished, the sake of the game and community.
Personally I don't care much about selling ingame stuff for money, but still it is against the rules.
Remember that
HUGE banwave we had for multiple accounts on the same IP?
Didn't go that well.
And he did never have any access to the webserver logs or could possibly know if those guys are even located close to each other.
When i game with my guys, we often roll with similar names or use i/L to have identical looking names.
We also game on the same IP on and off with various amounts of people.
I would not want to be banned from a game because someone gets mad and thinks it's smart to put my name in a post so the community of a game i like insta hates me.
I am also a bit cautious about those witnesses he named after he had that account switch thing going.
Not sure he is trusting the right people but this is also non of my business.
The RL trading thing is something completely different, looked pretty obvious when i looked into it earlier, not sure how that will go now, doubt it will be public, i will stay out of it.
Bed time now.
Enjoy the drama, don't make this a witch hunt, this thread is already sad enough.
