I think it would just be an easy way to cheat the system. I have another account, with about 800 gold that I've gotten from inviting friends, I sometimes use it for a new world, but if I transfered it then I would gain an extra 800 to this account, and I don't really have a lot of gold.
True. And very good point. But IMO (not like it matters cause it aint happening anyway right -lol) thats not really a game changing cheat. There will be only so many friends someone could get to this game. That would cap off pretty quick and not grow. I've tried to invite friends and they all laugh at me for even playing the game.. lol So even if someone had a few friends to join I don't think one could ever get that much gold off friends.
Then of course there is the possibility of the "earning gold" thing... Again, long, tedious and doesn't really pay off much. Sure you could do it, it would cap off after a while and big deal, someone got 1,000 total. Thats not much of a cheat imo that would counter the good of trading gold could offer.
And if it got real bad as far as, someone opens 15 accounts, 14 to harvest the free gold, and 1 that gets it all, I feel the moderators could see that easily. I mean, how do they keep people playing together from the same house, same internet, same ip address, etc.. ? I seen they got rules against that, and hopefully (for all our sakes) they have ways of finding out who is breaking them rules and then enforcing them. So same way with that, they could make a rule (and enforce it) that gold can not transfer between 2 accounts on the same ip address using the same technology they hopefully better already have to catch the gold harvesting transfer cheaters.
Yes of course now we could get into starting separate internet accounts to your building from your provider, but jesus, someone doing that then gold harvest transferring is the LEAST of our worries.
Again, though, all this don't matter. I guess it aint ever gonna happen. Why ? Who knows. Cause the security they better already have against multiple account cheaters would and should work on the gold harvest transferring you mention. And if its because they don't have good security against multiple account cheaters, then again, the gold is the least of our worries.
