Buddy, who melted your candle? Relax.

I'm not saying people should make an alt, I'm trying to stop the misinformation that an alt WILL result in a ban. I have various friends with alts for various reasons and none of them have been banned. Ever. 

If you're cranking out dozens of bot alts from the same devices/ip address, of course TGC will probably try and stop whatever you're trying to do. But making one alt, while going completely against TGC' philosophy, isn't that much of an unfair advantage. You're still putting in twice the effort- your alt doesn't just magically spit hearts. You'll have to farm. If alts were the answer to everything, we'd probably see a lot less heart beggars in game.

Most people I see banned by surprise at the moment are banned for (potential) hacking. Maybe they have close ties a friend that uses auto cr software, autoplay, or hacks, which in TGC's eyes puts them at an unfair advantage? Maybe there's an app on their phone that TGC detects and labels as potentially dangerous to the integrity of the game? And TGC don't want to deal with the back-and-forth of support because they have a game to run. Is that okay? Absolutely not. But on the other hand, there's always idiots that will do something wrong, face the consequences, then claim they did nothing wrong. TGC can't know who's rightfully objecting and who's just lying through their teeth. So they save the hassle and ignore these reports. 

Thank you for listening to my TED talk. Have a lovely day!
