Mario Wrote:ToS is broken like nothing. (/multiple accounts/)You mention this twice.
Now show me where in the Terms of Use that we are told not to create multiple accounts.
As for this question...
Mario Wrote:What makes you different from hackers who also break apart of the ToS?Cursing or creating multiple accounts doesn't wreck the game.
That's why it's different.
Pretty sure no rational person has ever abused hacked spawn and claimed to be legitimate.
Stereo Wrote:(and not only cause it's against the TOS to have more than one.)Where does it say such a thing?
hongyu Wrote:Didn't they remove multiple account rule from ToS anyways.Such a clause certainly doesn't exist in the current text.

Have you ever jaywalked? "Tasted" an item that was in an open bin in a store? Cracked a sexist or racist joke?
If so, what makes you different from serial killers who also break the law?
You could get in legal trouble based on the specific content of a joke or when and where you said it, but telling an offensive joke isn't, of itself, illegal.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, this entire thread is just dumb as it hinges on the premise that the Terms of Use define what a legitimate player is.
Guess what? It never has.
Legitimacy is about playing fair.
Do you know why Michael Phelps didn't lose his medals for smoking pot?
Because it's not a performance enhancing drug!
Is it frowned upon by many communities in addition to being illegal in many places? Absolutely.
But, in terms of the Olympics, the only thing that mattered was whether or not it would give him an unfair leg-up on his peers.
A great portion of the Terms have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a player has a competitive advantage, and that's the only thing that matters when determining legitimacy.
So saying that anyone who has ever violated a single section of the Terms must be considered "illegit" is to show complete ignorance of what that term actually implies.
Mr. "gerhb23gterhbdfhq3wt3gtweg" (NOTE: Far too long to be an actual character name in Maple Story. Just an example.) didn't keep kicking my ass in PVP because his name violates the "no gibberish" rule.
He kicked my ass because he could attack thousand times faster than I could due to exploiting the game.
