I really think you (and not only you) need to stop thinking at conspiracy theories anywhere around.
In this specific case, an alt made for the sole reason of opening boxes and trying to loot rings would be plain dumb for a few reasons:
1) Presuming your theory with loot waves is correct about rings too, there's no guarantee they will get the rings, just like there's no guarantee you will get any loot if you hunt in the "good loot window".
2) Presuming your theory with loot waves is correct about rings too, what would stop them just buy and open boxes during the "good loot window" with their mains?
3) Vast majority of content of boxes is universal ammo, which has to be cycled before being transferred to mains; since you say these are alts made for opening boxes only, that probably means they don't have any skills, so cycling large amounts of UA would take ages and not be eco at all (not to mention that chipping the skills out of the ald and back to main after that would cost a little fortune too - or would involve just lose them).
4) There is a fair amount of untradeable and not TTable items in boxes (like pills, L rings, etc) and those items would remain stucked on a useless alt; again not very smart.
If, despite all that, someone would still like to do that and bring money in EU coffers, I would say hell yeah, why not...
Seriously now, I fail to understand why you (and again not only you) feel the need to do all this witch hunts and mind what everyone else is doing and not just focus on your own game-play and enjoy your own time in game.
off-topic, what is best way to dispose of L-rings? cant seem to tt them
The problem with the alts is if they are all logged in at the same time. Say 10 computers all running eu with different avatars in the same room And as soon as a ring gets looted all those avatars start opening boxes using a script.. all controlled by one person.
A ring goldfarm so to speak.
I guess that would be a problem, especially if the value of the ring is higher than the boxes opened. Ofcourse other players have to deposit to buy the ring from this farm, so no problem for Mindark there.. but the value of the boxes is higher than it's supposed to be if rings get looted more often than random.
I don't think it balances out by the price most sell at now.
Lol? Making an alt to double box opening speed during waves is a good idea and I'm sure those who actually understand waves do it all the time.
It's extremely easy to get rid of universal ammo now. Take your alt to foma and gamble it away mining.
Better way to say it is, you get almost all value for buying a box in TT.
- Use 3k USD on box's that return almost all in TT value with a good chance to loot a ring in wave,
- or 3k USD on Hunting with a huge variance in TT returns with unkown chance to hof and extremely small chance to loot item.
- or 3k USD on explosives with crazy unknown chances
- or 3k USD in mining with limited MU returns over lenght of time. And very unknown loot
Go down through all the Ares Ring looters today and look at there EL account stats.
GL
No ones stupid enough to not join a soc and try to get some stats on there. Do you research go deeper.. Look at there last hunt times look at there soc and its background, look at the other members. Dont click the link and say they ARE alt or not alt. You have to work and cover all the ends.
If they make alt ava and just loot ring then run up and trade there main ava or use a friend as a buffer its a huge red flag. Dig and research IF you truly want to prove me wrong then PROVE me wrong.
Keep going down the entire list of ares you wont have answers in 5 minutes...
