Hello, Lord Gadheras.
What difference is it for a player to run 5 alts, than he does the same using macros to automate the process rather than manual clicking? you allow the use of alts, so. how a player play his/hers alts, does that matter then?
I will agree with DJMOODY here. Multiple accounts mean accounts the player also spends time and effort to develop to the high level, upgrade Buildings, build Units, discover Lost Arts. These accounts look like a usual account of a player.
Bot accounts are usually low level and not very developed. They also have strange Castle names and located not far away from each other on the Map.
How about second hand accounts, or even 3rd or more generation ones. There is players sitting on several handed off accounts of players leaving the game. We all know about this, its in most leagues. How much time and effort did a player do to achieve that?
It's not allowed to share the login details as it leads to the security breaches. It's a choice of a player whether to tell his login details to anyone or not. But it's logical that then the complaints "my account was hacked" don't have a positive solution for such players.
I think you generalize the term "bot".. bot'ing, is just a form of automated clicks and actions that keep the player to do repetive mundane tasks. In other games such as like WOW, you can use such to farm xp with to level your character and so on. Then there is "bots" used in another way, such as farming resources and sell for cash etc. Its two quite different scenarios.
If a player wan tto run 10 castles under a bot net for the sole purpose of just build archers fo whatever reason he/she see fit. Its quite differnet from some other player want to collect resources to sell to another player for cash etc.
Bots, macros, whatever, used for automated clicks to save the player for repetive mundane things. Heck you can do it with a single castle too, just let some script play your game entire day, make sure all new units get moved to catacombs, queue up new units to make sure your resources is low.
Also when Plarium says "its not allowed too",people dont care because its not enforced uppon. A player that leave the game care little about his/her login details once handing the account over to another player. That player adopting millions of def/off he did no work to obtain other than maybe know the person that left the game.
One person might have all the time in the world to sit mantain his/her castle empire, where som eother player have more limited time. Its kinda funny that adding multiple alt castles to your "inventory" is the only thing that actually affect reward vs effort and time spent in this game.
