MasterAtin Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hi. I had a concern/idea regarding the completion of Planetery based PvP achievements and how I thought I might go about completing them. However, it also comes with concern and a possibly, "a violation of the Terms of Services." The idea was that I would make a separate account, preferably Free-to-Play, then, one way or another, get them to these faction-neutral planets and simple "farm them to death." Simply kill them with any of my toons on my subbed account BUT on a separate computer, have my F2P toon get repetitively massacred by Subscribed Power. Therefore allowing me to complete the achievements. I asked if such a concept was possible, considering that an endeavor to scour each planet for a flagged player and hope that you ca beat them would most likely take a great deal of time on any server that isn't PvP environment-based. Would such an endeavor regarding farming PvP kills with two accounts be against the Terms of Services? I looked at the TOS, though not thoroughly (because who wants to read that right?) but didn't find anything. Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated. I'd rather not have to ask friends/guild members to slowly grind with me to complete achievements. I also consider transferring to a PvP server my last resort. Sorry for the long post. I am also fearful about posting something like this, since it would be something like a loophole and I'd rather not get my account banned. Bioware, I'm a loyal generous customer, please don't ban me for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomlash Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't think you'd get in trouble. Multi-boxing isn't against the TOS if I recall correctly, and it's not as if you're earning rewards you're not entitled to. Most importantly, who's going to report you? The Mods might catch people using some exploits just from the server flagging them, but they do depend to a decent degree on people speaking up about inappropriate behavior. Nobody's going to care enough to report you, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunav Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 You need to see 100% so badly you're going to actually kill your own characters on a separate computer, made and leveled for that purpose?! WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torvai Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nope, you won't get banned, reported or anything, because it isn't illegal to have 2 accounts. And what you do with them is up to you, as long as you don't exploit game mechanics and/or bugs. In fact, an ingame friend of mine already did it. Nicknamed his "to be slaughtered" toon Kenny Only problem is, it's boring as f*ck;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterAtin Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 You need to see 100% so badly you're going to actually kill your own characters on a separate computer, made and leveled for that purpose?! WOW. Yep, that's correct. I'm not OCD, it's just I eventually want to complete all achievements , or as many as I can. And frankly, hunting for flagged players multiple times across a dozen planets (give or take a couple) would no doubt, for many players, be a pain. Therefore, finding an easier way to complete an achievement without violating the TOS, I would deem appropriate. Unless you're on a PvP server (last I heard they were pretty dead) the chances of finding a flagged player is less than 5% I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another route to go is put out a feeler (either in game or in the server forum) looking for someone to farm achievements with. Most planets with PvP achievements have unguarded medcenters so it becomes just a matter of how fast you can hit respawn. I think you'd be surprised how many other achievement hunters there are out there looking for the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioware, I'm a loyal generous customer, please don't ban me for this. If I were the GM I would ban you, to me it seems like win trading with yourself. It is also lame, what is the point of an achievement you earn like that. Do you think others will be impressed? You remind me of the software engineer we interviewed last week, he had this amazing resume and got all the questions wrong in the interview. He was basically a faker.
