At Wit's End about Cheating

[rafmeister_5440998]

I Host a guild and face a quandry. The two largest players on my server decided to cheat. They sink members of my guild,then transfer the maps to one of their multiple alt accounts so they can repeat the process.

I took several steps to deal with this abuse:
1) Sent mail to my guild listing terms of use.
2) Purged my guild of known or suspected alts, though one player is babysitting another player's account at the moment. This removed several spies...
3) Called the cheating players out in world chat, posting the terms of use and how they violated them.
4) Employed diplomacy with other guilds for damage control.
5) Changed sailing tactics.
6) Reported the abuse to Tynon. This includes my Vice-Host taking screen grabs and submitting evidence of repeated and FLAGRANT cheating.
7) Helped my guild grow in size to handle all other members of the rival guild EXCEPT the two cheaters.

Are their other options that I have missed?

Revenge when they power down.

Revenge when they power down.

That is part of the sailing tactics. We try to revenge, but opps are very quick at powering back up. Combined with a Tynon lag, we rarely get through. Good idea though.

sorry but hate to waste your dreams

its pointless to report.. IMO

i tried same send screen shots every day for weeks.. and of no use

if its a heavy coiner(s) keep dreaming then it will never happen.. IMO (again)

and don't people go mention that 1 high vip player that was removed... 8 months ago..

and best to revenge during baal cerb.. bigger chance to win.

or when they are powered down in the sails.

it's the massive number of alts that really bothers me. Have one? Cool. Sometimes it's nice to have an alt to share some maps with your buddies with. Have an entire stable to pull from? Gets a little old.

Don't rob the alts maps. Eventually they'll run out of space to move their maps to.

depends how much there are and they are used for sails ofc

The maps go to the alts in the alt guild. Then the alt guild gets robbed by the guild members of the original players. The alt guild serves two purposes: 1) map transfers, and 2) provides them with a guild war. Everyone else left their realm, leaving them only with two alt guilds to fight.

EDIT: We never hit their alts unless the alts start to sail.

Keep this thread going until Dawn sees it and actually makes a comment about helping.

Alts are a violation of the game rules, correct?
