Title: Ban multi-logging!
Post by: 99 on February 13, 2013, 09:16:35 am
What's happening is, people are getting on 2-4 accounts, and mining ess, and later trading it to their main account. So in other words, they have a 4x advantage on people who don't multi-log. There are two big problems with multi-logging:

Seriously, it's not going to hurt you if you ban multi-logging! All you have to do is check IPs maybe once per day, see if someone is using multiple accounts, then check the trade logs to see if they've been trading each other!

And that's one reason why it should be banned. The top of the RC hiscores are going to all be multi-loggers.

I'd say a good way to log users is not based soley on their IP address.  MAC address helps, too, even with proxies usually, unless the user multi proxies or multi masks their addresses.  This could be used to detect excessive multi logging and allow for identification and logging for if two people use the same connection on two different computers.

doubt many people would put that much effort into logging into two accounts to play a private server

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I think 3 accounts should be banned, due to too much income gained and it can make the eco worse, but two accounts wouldn't do too much. I right now just level fishing with a second account while i play on my main, and fishing isn't a ECONOMY GAME CHANGER, I don't think fishing even get's that much money atm.

Even though I won't multi-log, I'm not sure I agree that having 2 is any different then having 10.  Either you can do it, or it's against the rules.

I agree, but if they decide to keep it allowed there should be restrictions such as previously mentioned. I do hope they ban it though.

IMO, whether you do 2, 3 or 4, or whatever, why condemn others for what you do?  Kind of like telling a thief, I only rob one bank a day, but since you rob two, you should go to prison. ;)

I see your point, but there was a multi logger who managed nearly 50k in < 24 hours through multilogging on more than 2 accounts

i mined for 1 day and managed 10k ess

its a big difference, trust me :p

Please do something about this; it is ridiculous; at a very minimum anyone caught interacting with their main account to put them at an advantage over other players should have their main account suspended and items removed.

I can see why it might annoy people, but the economy really needs a kickstart for which runes (especially natures) are essential. I hope they let us continue at least until there is lots of gp in the game from alching. Personally, I have an army of 4 runners that I'm using to mine ess and craft runes. If it gets banned, I will just use my main.

Yeah, great idea, get the economy started by making it so people can get tons of runes, so they can get tons of gold! Having 10 super rich players while everyone else has much less money is a great idea!

i believe the best part of runescape  used to be having to get things for yourself. i never used to get bored doing things for myself rather than being able to buy anything and everything. e.g. mining,fishing,wcing,fletching,rc... etc. all skilsl i like but r pointless when they are oversupplied to the game [e.g. bots and multiloggers] and become super cheap. thats when the game becomes boring because everything is available.

I understand what you're saying about it's never been allowed such, but you also have to understand that RuneScape in 2006 had an economy/resources/more than 150 people on at any given time. There were more and more people playing adding things to the game. Not saying the amount of players on here isn't great, but the fact is is that 150 people online when not all of them are doing resource skills/killing things/etc there aren't a lot of ores/fish/logs/etc being added, meaning no real economy. 2nd accounts right now are really the only way ess/fish/etc are being put in unless that's the skill you're training. Right now 2nd accounts aren't a bad thing.

I find it hilarious that people only started crying about multi-logging when mining rune essence came into play. When fletching came out nobody (besides me bitching about Tarantola) was crying when people had a second account solely to get more logs, even though a large amount of the money currently in the game came from selling bows to stores.

there were people bitching about it before, it's just that since a mod said it was ok, and more people started doing it (especially when rc came out) it got noticed more and.. well like not really hard to notice the 2-5 level 3's following a level 30-60

Sounds like you're agreeing with me.

Also, if someone multilogs by having lvl 3s follow them around they suck at multi logging.

You said that people only started bitching after people multilogged ess, while I said people bitched before therefore wasn't agreeing with you.

People had lvl 3s following with them to carry more ess to altars. thus getting up to 5x xp loads a trip

Not necessarily.  Even 1 means 28 extra inventory spaces.  Add 2, 3, 4 even 5.  Nice nature run, I'd say.

We need some spiders and snakes on that island. :)

Then again, once they level up their mules, it won't matter.

Title: Re: Ban multi-logging!
Post by: Francis on February 13, 2013, 06:41:21 pm
I think we should implement some kind of multi-log system where you can only log in with 1 or 2 accounts at a time. So if you try to log in with more then 2 accounts, it wouldn't let you log in and refuse the connection. I think this is a good compromise for the problem. Much better solution then banning everybody.
Title: Re: Ban multi-logging!

Simply put; this is a remake, multi logging is on the report screen; therefore multi logging shouldn't be allowed.

See we had something nice, and people had to go and abuse it. I for one can't stand skilling, but I also want the perks of getting skills up. So rather than sitting there hating myself for wasting time on fishing, I am training combat while having another account fish. There is nothing wrong with that because its not over the top, yet it feeds the economy. With 4-5 running at the same time it really takes the fun out of it and truly does make it like botting. If people would learn self-control I'm sure that this could be legal and handled maturely.

Just because your too lazy to multi log yourself or not getting as much income as a multi logger doesnt mean you should complain, although having 2 acc's on is not that bad seeing that one account isnt farming and these accounts dont make contact, also as someone said earlier it wasnt looked on as much while people were doing for fletching because you werent fletching

more like no one knew people were doing it for fletching.... therefore had nothing to complain about.. although i'm pretty sure people were only using one account to cut logs for main account which isn't as bad as 3, 4, 5, or 6.

That's exactly my point. Doing it on one extra account isn't going to hurt anyone. I have 2 accounts right now, one is a skilled pure and the other is a PvM main. They do not interact and the point of the second account is to keep me from getting bored. As soon as it goes from this harmless "not getting bored" to full fledged 100% attention on 6 different bots then it's too much. Even 3 accounts is too much in my opinion. I feel that the rules should be like it is on Jagex's game, with a slight exception. Two accounts should be allowed to be accessed by one player at the same time; however, if the accounts are caught interacting there will be punishments.

In the long run multi logging will have a negative effect on the server. I've always been against it and always will be, even if it's only 2 accounts I still think its bad and should be ban-able. Especially if the players are really abusing it to gain an advantage.

Although I do not like multilogging at all, or have never done it to really have an opinion of it, I agree that using 3 or more accounts is unfair. However, I can side with the people who want to fish while their main is training at the rock crabs or something. I mean, just sitting there fishing when there's no one to talk to...you could really be multitasking. OF course, if you're botting...either ways you better get out.

I don't really see the big deal if someone wants to play on 2 accounts at once (i.e. a main account and a skiller) as long as they're not using the other account to get ahead economically or on highscores.  But if someone's running around with 4 level 3s to rc nature runes then that's just taking the fun out of the game and it's their loss.  I'd rather take in the full game experience with 1 or 2 accounts than enslave myself with 4.  Just my 2 cents.

The problem is more resources are being poured into the economy than there are LEGIT players to use them. An account just to fish or mine on will never buy anything back, only produce.

The only problem that I have with your thoughts are that I have 2 LEGIT accounts, and on one I am going for 99 fishing and I have not bought anything, and probably never will. On a skiller you are mostly providing and hardly consuming whether you're multi logging or not.

I don't see the problem in it? It's 2x the work for the person, and improves efficiency.

Why waste time when you can just try a little bit harder on a game you enjoy and get
some things done a bit faster.

Thanks for reading.

It's honestly not twice the work to play on 2 accounts at once, unless you're like picking flax on one and mining on the other.  But if you really enjoyed the game, you wouldn't care about efficiency or how fast things are done.  And you wouldn't feel like you were wasting time by playing on just one account.
My best moments on rs were when I would take days to level up stats because I had no idea what I was doing, and that was the fun of it all.  Now it's mainly tryhard grinding and maximizing efficiency, which just takes the fun and meaning out of the game.

I agree with you, but back then I was in grade school and had the time to waste. Now if I want stats I'll do it on my main, but if just need a resource ill do it on an alt. Such as flax, because it gives no stats, but needs to be picked.

I agree completely with getting rid of multi-logging. As far as being able to catch these people, I think that simply using the report system would be sufficient, it worked in real runescape.
I think it would be interesting to attach a poll to this topic too and see what comes out of it.

The easy abuse of the current multi-logging allowed rule.

A poll was taken, and of course the multi loggers won, as it's nearly 3-4 account per person.

Don't ban multi logging. We (I am a multi-logger) aren't getting any sort of unfair advantage over any other player. They can multi-logg too if they want. There's nothing stopping them, if you ask me, were just being smart about it rather than cheating + why did you come straight out with rune ess? Maybe you do it 0.0

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I think 3 accounts should be banned, due to too much income gained and it can make the eco worse, but two accounts wouldn't do too much. I right now just level fishing with a second account while i play on my main, and fishing isn't a ECONOMY GAME CHANGER, I don't think fishing even get's that much money atm.

untill last night when all 4 of my players was stopping you getting yew logs LOL

What's happening is, people are getting on 2-4 accounts, and mining ess, and later trading it to their main account. So in other words, they have a 4x advantage on people who don't multi-log. There are two big problems with multi-logging:
  • The multi-loggers can get very rich by selling all the ess they get
  • IT'S FREAKING CHEATING!!! Trading between your own accounts has ALWAYS been banned in RS! And for good reason!

Seriously, it's not going to hurt you if you ban multi-logging! All you have to do is check IPs maybe once per day, see if someone is using multiple accounts, then check the trade logs to see if they've been trading each other!

So you want something perfectly abiding by the rules to be illegal just because you're too lazy to do it?

leave it to the player mods to catch people in the act and make proper actions.
multi-logging is an advantage. and a unfair advantage at that.

It's not an unfair advantage because everyone is allowed to do it, thefore only making it an advantage to everyone in the community. Plus some of the admins need it to help players on their admin acc while skilling on their alts.

Old sht but in my opinion, I think multi logging should be at maximum 2 accounts on at the same time. Anything above that as against the rules. Some people can have 5+ clients open and not have their computer lag while others lag with just two I guess could be an example of an unfair advantage.

if you want this up the xp to times 10 then we won't need to mutilog

On the one hand, I applaud the ability of people to use more than one account at once, AFK'able abilities aside. On the other, it gives them an advantage over people who do not multi-log for the purpose of honoring a personal moral code which may or may not be linked to the original RS rules (me and some others) and those who don't do it because they can't handle the multi-tasking. If you are complaining that it breaks the xp rates b/c some people have extra accounts to do their resource gathering for them, I basically see it as the same thing as hiring someone to do it for you, only instead of paying in money you pay in extra attention to the game. Anyways, the 2x xp means that the highscore rates should be half of what they are anyways. -.-

However, if a person uses multiple accounts to make, say, a million air runes, and then floods the market - well, every other air rune crafter is going to be out of luck, and there really isn't much these players can do except wait for prices to stabilize or train magic themselves.

I don't know whether or not it's our call to try to ban multi-logging. I do believe that those who do multi-log should at least try not to cause some sort of game-changing market crash or similar problem.

I'm just locking this because multi-logging will never EVER be banned and it is a useless thread.
