Are Alt-Accounts Killing Tanki?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

I'm pretty sure many of you guys have alt accounts to play on whenever you get tired/bored/frustrated to play on your main. Well, although these alts may be fun to play on, as a new player, they are not fun to play against. 

 

Are these alt-accounts lowering the number of new players interested in playing the game? 

 

People will only play tanki because they think its fun. However, it's not fun being, literally, a noob, trying to put up a fight against legends on their second accounts. Then, they never play the game again because all they do is get wrecked...

 

What do you think about this?

How is tanki supposed to know if u create an alt account unless there is 1 account per IP adress, however it will be easy to bypass it

Well I guess to counter that, Tanki's been trying to make the game easier to play for noobs with its latest updates. 

Containers allow newbs to get crys easier, and the increased chain rewards allow nubs to drug more often than before...

yeah... russians always expect a good team at gefreiter and always say how they have noob team???

whenever i make new acc i am acting like a half new player. controls normal, no turning turret because i feel sad for newbies

With my new alts, I play like the game is suppose to be played (minus the supplies, unless they are on the ground). The tutorial has much to be desired. If experienced players played on newby accounts that gives the newby a better idea of how the game is really played. That's better than the tutorial where the newby is given the idea that all players are noobs.

That's the reason MM is being added. Alts will be matched against other alts and newbies against newbies. That way it should be more fair to new players.

Yeah. In particular the MU update made it really tough for newbies. People will make alts and MU M0 to M1 or M1 to M2. I've made a few alts over my time playing Tanki, and there seem to be a lot more OP buyers/druggers in the low ranks than there used to be.

MM will be based on efficiency? I didn't know that.

Not just efficiency. There will be multiple factors that determine who gets matched.

this is not an idea/suggestion to ban alt accounts. I just want to hear ur opinions on it.

ok

Perhaps...however the thing you have to keep in mind, is that generally these alts end up purchasing lots of crystals, so it isn't killing the game

That's great! Just gotta wait 32889324789237 years for it to be implemented xD

Which is good, because I won't be using it.

 

As sad as it sounds, my alt accounts are made to escape all the drugging full-mu'ed tanks at this rank and instead farm easy and relaxing kills off the low-ranked newbs.

 

I don't want to be forced into playing other alt accounts with similar skill levels and better/similar equipment.

No, they aren't. They may increase the amount of new players giving up and leaving however.

 

Anyway, Tanki must make a lot of money off all the "OP alt accounts" that many big buyers have.

Actually it looks a lot more promising than that. I'm sure devs will be able to do it in a third of that time!

Whooptydoo, good for us, I guess :ph34r:

Not many players have second accounts tho.
