So thereafter we had the 'Honor' death-match stuff - and that was clearly a failure but not a flaming fiasco. Now on the other hand this 'Honor CTF' thing is quite the train-wreck. Which leads me to refrain from any sort of PVP "event" for Dark Legends in the future as the need to cheat overwhelms too many players. Good news is: this means all future DL content will be PVE and we all can enjoy that ;-)
Many have asked me to do something about alts and sitting. Unfortunately for a game that does not device-lock your account, Alts are impossible to stop. Players with even the most basic facility to create an email account and register a new Spacetime account will be free to sit and ruin matches for everyone. A solution would be to force everyone into a single account per device but this doesn't prevent wealthier players with numerous devices from creating the same multiple accounts to achieve the same nefarious goals. Happy to answer more questions about this if you have them - but in a nutshell this is why "alt / sitting" is insurmountable for DL.
With respect to the current 'Honor' CTF event - I will be revising the rewards and how they are given out. Instead of awarding based on leaderboard rank I will be awarding based on points. The minimum points to get both of the titles will be 1,000 points (which most participants have accumulated).
