PVP farming [exploit]

[zhangvict]

I just spent an hour playing pvp2 on kong and I didnt encounter a single rare farm

[Mimzy]

OK, I have to agree with the people saying they have encountered zero rares/ rare farms, because all I play is PVP and arena. In PVP I have never gotten a rare card, or have I seen one in a spin slot. As far as arena goes, thats where the rare farms are, because people make skeleton decks and let their health droop. I don't see why getting rares in PVP is a problem because there is hardly any. If you think I'm misconceiving your issue please correct me.

Indeed. The fact is, pvp farming can be done alone, with an alt. Starting games at  the same time with both (entering pvp1 at the same time, or pvp2) virtually guarantees finding each other. And you not meeting them.

I don't see the point in farming yourself. In order to give yourself shards, you need 6 shards. If you have 6 shards, then whats the point in farming shards..

But I guess if someone really wanted shards on an alt. then that makes sense.

Actually, no. You only need one.

OK, I understand now, but dont ruin a good games-type because of a few people farming themselves, and If I wanted to farm I would say this: "Hmmm... I dont want to farm cus' Im lazy, Ill just donate $35 to get the six shards I wanted!"

[bripod]

Ill just donate $35 to get the six shards I wanted!"

That would get you 7 shards...

[Mimzy]

Well, you know what I meant, I dont understand why it is so damn important to nerf an entire game-style to stop a few cheaters, its not even cheating IMO

[kimham8a]

If you've already earned the shards with one account, why not allow them to transfer to alt account?

[Aves]

Why would you need to transfer shards to an alt. account? My alt. is used solely for the purpose of playing as a newb; there's no need to have several main accounts. Thus, transfer is most likely to occur with one main account and several side accounts which get rares and then transfer to the main account. It kind of ruins the game.

[kimham8a]

Ah, I finally understand this exploit. I too, think this shouldn't be allowed. But I am confuzzled as to how to stop this.

[Aves]

Remove the problem. Some ways to do this:

Stop the transfer of rares, like turning rares into relics or giving them the same probability as pillars. I recommend this.

Alternatively, block IP addresses with multiple connections to the game, like multiple tabs or browsers connecting to the server- that would limit testing in fun PvP duels, create lag-based bans, and end the use of more than one elements tab- say, spectator mode or trainer. Not good.

Limit people to 1 account. I'm not really sure how this would be feasibly implemented.
