The Castle Doctrine Forums

I really enjoy this game, both having a go at other's houses and building my own.  I'm certainly still very low level in terms of my ability of getting into others and in stopping people getting into mine, but I am improving.  My first load of houses were generally beaten quickly but my most recent attempts have started to show more promise, clocking up a bunch of deaths and some small bounties, so I've been pleased with my progress.

However, I seem to have run into a major annoyance which is really pissing me off.  I see 1-2 characters enter my house within a short time of each other, equipped with a general tool selection.  They probe around and explore and between them will usually come to identify my small house and a specific weak point.  This even involves them getting to my vault and walking right up to it and looking at it, but not accessing it.  They will walk back and forth repeatedly through the route created, checking all the parts of my trap, then leave the house.  Immediately another character enters with either precisely the minimum tools needed to access my vault or no tools but now knowing how to defeat my traps and go straight to my vault without any hesitation.

I am absolutely fine with people outsmarting me and I enjoy the challenge.  However, I hate the use of multiple accounts for this scouting technique.  These players can just run their repeatedly created alts into houses with no concern for their scouting killing them, then come back with their main which holds all their cash.  It completely undermines the concept of the game and if its use increases then I can see it killing the game experience for the more casual players who can never build up past a few thousand $ before being alt-scouted and destroyed.
