And yes, I have done this already with other players and it is possible.
I did that too and that is exactly why this game is vorth playing for Cooperation is needed for survival and interesting play. It's much more fair, fun and interesting that way. If You or some other dev can implement functions that wouldn't allow alt's that would be great
no. Its game about roleplaying, and if i want to try myself as medic then as repairman then as someone other i create alts. It doesnt do any damage, it just makes this game more interesting to play. And as i said alts are not problem, fast relogging or dual logging with them is. And you are trying to fix "problem" which isnt problem at all.
A kind of reputation system where you earn respect from npcs and players would end the reign of alts. This reputation would be used on various things like more crafting blueprints, free stuff, temporary bonus perks and so on. People wouldn't simply have time to play with support alts because they would be so busy getting this reputation. It would be more rewarding to play one character long time than many characters short time.
fast relogging or dual logging
hmm something in my trollish post WoW experience says no to rep grinding, not sure why..
Because wow reputation sucks. Higher level characters need something to reach for, it doesn't have to be exactly "reputation", just something that keeps them busy.
No one is complaining about your way of "alting", I also try to make me a doctor etc. just to try it out. There is no problem with this.The real problem is, when people create alts to support their main chars. But if you have read the thread you've already knew that.
most gangs had like 100 ba in their tents before wipe and many other heavy stuff, so i dont think that they needed something like character support or whatever :>
If it's impossible, then how do GMs spot dual logging?
I guess that first part is based on IP, second in teleporting players that are suspected from dual-logging to same same location and giving them orders about what they have to do simultaneously (first player go to the right and start saying alphabet from start, second player go to the left and alphabet from the end). Just IP check is not enough. I know about (at least) one hundred people which have same IP address as me.
