By when I mean cheat, I mean either use a bot or use side characters to gather the starter's xp resources or special money (for farming). In topic, this is only in question for massive multiplayer online games that have went back on their free to play customers and went buy to win.
I've certainly done it. I used Archeage's simple need for a new email for every account and farm gilda stars all day on side characters. I also tend to use my side characters as storage and leave the side character afk all night, gathering labor points so that I can use them for a specific task such as farming and all.
It's quite ingenious, how us gamers get sneaky when the game makers get unfair, eh?
Share some of your stories, I'd love to hear ideas. Lmao.
