On March 13, 2026, about a week ago, player mamekyo @mamekyo posted a video to the videos channel in discord, showcasing themselves farming Count D raid (the latest official content available on CC) but with a twist. They had the game client opened normally but also had 3 VMware windows logged in at the same time, all on alt accounts, and 'leeching' off the main account, effectively getting 4x drop rates compared to a regular player farming this content. User Erlenesia (@sethkuroneko) called them out today and claimed that everyone should also do the same and crash the market if it's not against the rules. I'm sure that staff has already been made aware of this video, but I wanted to make this post anyway so community members could offer their opinions.
As some of you may already know, this has been going on for years now, mamekyo is far from the first person to do it. It became a thing ever since spamming a dungeon for red drops was profitable, I don't have screenshot proof with me right now but you would see parties of 1 very strong main character + 3 random alts farming these raids or bosses, the alts sometimes equipped with extra FIB gear/costumes and/or consumables to further boost rates. Even if you didn't have a strong enough character to do high-end content, there were players just using 4 characters in the same party to farm various other dungeons, increasing efficiency and providing a big advantage while still complying with the community guidelines.
One of the root problems is CC allowing players to multiaccount at all in the first place. I know it's not really the same as running VMs and farming multiple accounts at once, but I feel the need to briefly bring it up anyway. Multiaccounting in this game is insanely profitable, even more so since +30 enhancement cap was introduced. As a somewhat endgame player myself, I estimate that at least 90% of top rankers have at some point made use of alt accounts be it for themselves or trading (purchasing/selling some form of enhancement or tuning service) with someone who has mega resources just from running a 30 second event dungeon weekly on a bunch of their alt accounts. The market is flooded with players providing such services and for good reason. There's also other old posts such as this complaining about it but it's pretty clear at this point staff is just planning to maintain status quo.
Just a discussion post. Interested to hear what others think, but I don't really expect anything to happen
