    Angry ABUSIVE SPAM ATTACKS IN WOLD EVENTS BY ALT LOW LEVEL PLAYERS. Need a FIX

    I am playing in a low activity realm where only a few remaining active players are participating.
    An enemy from another guild in a different realm started multiple alt accounts in my realm just to harass me during World Events and to try to deny me coin and fair play. He is SPAM attacking me non stop with a low level hero that I can't even retalliate against except the 1 time due to cool down rules. I have to keep pressing "OK" after each combat meelee so can't even let it auto attack baal/cerb and he is laughing that I can't kill the BOSS or win any coin without sitting there for 30+ minutes pressing OK over and over ad nasaum in what is a functional denial of service attack.

    THERE NEEDS TO BE A LIMIT on this sort of SPAM attacking in Word Events. Limit it to 1 or 2 attacks - or at least give us the ability to hit back and reset the revenge cool down if they persist in endless spam/nusance attacks. Ideally it should not be possible for a low level player 50+ levels below me to attack me in World Events - its clearly an abusive situation when attacking over heir heads at such a high difference in range of level.

    These sort of hateful players should be banned. All they are doing is making game play miserable and trying to force the game to give their other friends in these alt guilds the coin. Which brings up another point...

    That being, its pretty clear that the coin is now being favored to the least damaging players during World Events who just game the system and hit a few times then stop attacking and win the coin at a very high rate. This is a glitch that should be fixed to prevent the higher level players actually taking down baal/cerb from being stolen from by the parasites.

    I agree with you. That sounds a bit silly.

    An upper level limit on who you could attack could also prevent a lot of alts from feeding a main.

    There is a limit of 12 attacks but that is per player, so if he is using many alts then any per player limit is useless.

    The alts are the source of most of the problems in the game. Unfortunately there is no easy way to determine who is an alt and who is not.

    I didn't mean the # of attacks. I mean, an upper limit in the level gap. So, say you can't attack anyone over 20 levels higher.

    I really like this idea. Make it 10 up and down (I was wrong when I said 12 before).

    On our server there are TONS of players with equal power that are beyond a 10 level differential, FYI.
    (20 levels should do the job.)


    Cuddles' Law: The volume of a player's whine is directly proportional to his/her VIP level.

    Andy, 12 attacks? When did it change from 10?

    Riverbummer, the question is, why does that player hate you so much?

    Probably because RiverBummer has said some pretty hateful things to other players and no one else on the server wants her there.

    No that question is irrelevant Herby. When naked avenues of abuse exist every miscreant and child and low maturity individual will do this sort of thing for kicks.
    This person hates me for kicking him out of the guild way back when he was not active and just using us for benefits.
