Multiple accounts, location hogging

[TwistedXenos]

I've noticed that some prime locations in the game are being occupied by basic starter stations. However, these spots are left unused—nothing is built on them, and no development happens afterward. This got me thinking: is it possible that some players are creating multiple accounts to quickly claim the best locations, not to use them, but simply to reduce competition and boost their own sales?
I'm curious if anyone else has observed this or has thoughts on whether this might be a tactic some players are using.

100%, you can even create alts with a tenminutemail email.. thats an email that is randomly generated and only last for 10 mins but they can register and the accounts stay active. Its more prevalent on the pvp servers.

I'd love to say 'na man.. ppl wouldn't do that'
But I've seen otherwise ingame and on my previous server I got into an argument about these kinds of things and became the Server Karen so I'm just gonna say..

Until The rules clearly define such actions as Illegal.. It's none of my business...
But yes.. it happens.

Hmm, this should be illegal because it takes from player experience, I wonder if it is time to send feedback to devs about this, idk tho how they can prevent that.

It also takes server slots away from anyone wishing to join that server.
Maybe remind them casually that each slot is 'potential revenue' or something something 'Darkside' ... Might get them to jump a bit..

I saw 2 spots next to each other with their name and then their name-alt. Good times

The multiple accounts stem for the RNG based specialization system mostly, and the spread of resources like oil, acid, and build points capped at 250. Enjoying the game takes 2 accounts as if your unluckly with specs, your char wont be fun.

If they moved the build cap up from 250 to 400 so we can have acid/oil/large farm, increased pollution areas on the map and allowed us to pick our specialization 80% of us wouldnt multi account any longer.

seems someone already has made a topic about it in feedback section in discord.

Dev need to tackle this issue as soon as possible, I knew someone who owns 6 accounts just for the memetic specialization and hog all the area with 700 max build, which is insane.

I don't understand the point. Passive resource gain doesn't come close to what you can achieve from an hour or two of active play. 3 low level refinery cards will give you more acid and fuel than a dozen pumps will in the span of a day... All for nothing since your resource wealth is meaningless between seasons. It is a ton of effort setting up and maintaining those alts verses just playing the game.

It's just a mentality that doesn't work with this game.

Imagine I don't get any good Memetic specializations. AND I'm capped on power for oil->premium fuel conversion for missiles. I dont want to spend a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of time farming acid for tungsten to calibrate my weapons. This is the problem of introducing RNG to character passives. If they had a better way than RNG frags to 100% sure-fire get what I wanted, I wouldn't need an acid base AND oil base.

I dont want to get on only to grind acid drops. I want to get on to play with friends and run dungeons and other ♥♥♥♥.

This is where I mention having friends and warbands/hives makes the game infinitely easier.
