Suggestions?

Is there an area of the forum for suggestions?

I have a couple;

1. I suspect that my property is being visited by people using more than one of their accounts.  I think it is great for the developer that people would buy more than one copy of the game, but I don't like that these people keep chipping away in their scouting runs that I feel paranoid every time I leave my house.  In theory, would it be possible to apply chills based on IP?

2. I think there should be a cover charge for entering properties.  Even if it was 5 bucks I would feel a sense of good humour towards the many people that seem to enter my property and flee as soon as anything scary is encountered....like a choice in direction... neutral

Re: Suggestions?

1. This would needlessly punish people that live under the same roof but have separate accounts, the type of person who does have multiple accounts, probably also knows how to change/hide their IP.

2. Not a bad idea. Call it 5 dollars for the lockpick you break in the front door.

1. Providers regularly use the same IP for many customers (CGNAT, Carrier Grade NAT).
2. There is. It's called a commit gate.

Re: Suggestions?

All responses considered and I agree. The commit gate scares everybody away neutral

Yes a commit gate scares some people away, but with a entry charge they wouldn't even enter. Besides losing the tools is already more than expensive enough imho.

And another problem for 2.:

What do people who got robbed or can't get money anymore? No more "Try your comeback run" and more important no comeback.

Nah, if you have no money then it's free....

Re: Suggestions?

So i could exploit it by buying tools ?(Which would a disadvantage for scouting tours and flexibility to tool preparation)

Otherwise you just could use another account for a "free" look into a house which would otherwise cost your main account money.

I like my scary commitgate/trap. I only need to stay above 4k and 2k robbers come in and just die.

I think you are right...now that I actually think it through, both ideas create unnecessary complications....
