Based on the questions, I'll address the concerns and complaints about the game staff sanctioning accounts farming tokens:
- Lack of Explicit Rule Against Farming:
While there might not have been an explicit rule against farming tokens previously, the Code of Conduct, specifically section H, prohibits participating in any action that "exploits" an undocumented aspect of the game to gain an unfair advantage over other users. Farming tokens can be considered as exploiting an undocumented aspect of the game, and thus falls under this rule.
- Definition of Farming:
The exact criteria for classifying an account as farming may not be disclosed to prevent cheaters from avoiding detection. However, multiple factors can contribute to an account being considered a farm account. The more criteria an account meets, the higher the risk of being classified as a farm account and facing suspension or sanctions.
- Reviewing Historical Accounts:
We're reviewing accounts that didn't pay attention to the latest announcement, if farm accounts stopped after this they wouldn't get an investigation. But if they follow with that practice yes, we're sanctioning these too. It isn't a retrospective sanction since this has been always forbidden, I can attach you other topics of managers claiming in the past that they tokens were removed, just now we got more strict with this and we gave 7 days to managers to stop these practices. While the announcement might have given some players a grace period to stop such practices, those who continued or have previously engaged in farming are also being reviewed and may face sanctions accordingly. This is not a retrospective sanction, as farming has always been against the rules, but rather a stricter enforcement of the existing policy.
- Deletion of Drivers from Farm Accounts:
It was mentioned that drivers created by farming accounts would be deleted even if they were later bought by other players. This action seems justified to maintain a fair competition among all players. It prevents the situation where someone gets an advantage by acquiring a maxed-out driver from a farm account, which is considered unfair to other competitors. This only happened once so far, both accounts admitted that this operation was coordinated even if at first one of the account said they were unaware (I have screenshots of this). The reason behind this is that you can giver a try to max out a perfect driver and only get the farm account sanctioned. I think we all can agree that's unfair for the rest of competitors if a manager gets a maxed out driver from a farm account. About your claim saying that the buyer team could be unaware that the driver is coming from a farm account, that doesn't happen, farm accounts aren't giving away drivers.
Section H cannot be applyed to team you canceled to me:
There were no unfair advantage to my teams rispect other players
T20 Drivers with high salary
Cars repaired
Engine change (usually every 2 days)
Daily access on game
T30 drivers trained to be ready when T20 retired, when i will going to use them to compete with others
Well , sometimes i sold some t30 when i have more than 2.
During selling, everyone could buy them.
My purpose was only retiring my old personalized T20 that became unusefull, it was not increase token (I had teamd that had already more than 1000 token earned playing before creation of the league), cash, xp or level.
At beginning i would do this selling my drivers to some BOT and continue to play with my normal team, but they will lose their personalizations and I wouldn't!
So I made this and i run with only few teams that have not personalized or historical drivers.
Yes, I added some Bot for add also historical drivers that were not running since a lot of times , but they were historical for me to quick retiring of all drivers.
There were no gain in this: i only lost time for doing this. It was fair for me , but not Unfair for everyone
The retiring was also near to be finish for a lot of drivers so the league was going to closure but you didn't let me do this.
I asked to you what I have to do, and now I have 11 teams ,also historical, closed.
This not exploit anything.
In the past was asked several times that it was possible having more than one account, and answer was always Yes!
A lot of players had league with only own teams and it was not a problem till 2 week ago, but you didn' clearify anything about farming.
I soon informed you about my situation: it was easy answer: "since now it is forbidden" but you didn't.
I understand that you have the possibility for doing this, and you are not obliged to give explanation. Because you wrote this in rule game (where there is section H).
However there is not sportmanship in this. Don't you think?
Now I am going to go in holiday... i hope that you are not going to close also the few playable teams you left me...
Ps: 1)in the past I was kick out of a league wihtout any real reason. Nothing was done to player kick out me. He is still playing...(even if he broke rule C of section V)
2) in the past someone stole some teams to Roberto Valleri. Ovih recovered them.
No one pay for this but I was penalized for retiring drivers...
