I would like the ability to invite a guest to play for 3 days. This can be limited to one guest per account. It can further be limited to only allow X amount of invites per account. Additional invites could perhaps be bought from the TP.

The scenario I’m facing is that I’m organizing a LAN party. Six people have accounts, but the other six don’t. I can’t hope that there will be a guest weekend. Advertising for these events have been extremely poor, so I can’t rely on that.

This would be perfect for botters/gold-spammers/hackers/spies.

Advertisement for the free weekends have been quite good, but it requires you to actually pay attention rather than being hit with it every time you log in (it have been in the launcher every time though).

I’m left wondering what you’re actually trying to say since your entire comment boils down to ‘No it’s not’.

How would this feature be useful to botters, etc. any more so than stolen accounts? I did suggest ways of limiting this feature. Wasn’t that enough?

From my perspective the advertising has always shown up either during the open period or only days beforehand. This isn’t enough time i.m.h.o.

It is much easier to just create an account than it is to steal one.
And with something like this you could steal an account and suddenly you had two bots instead of just one.

Making it easier for botters is never a good idea.

Hm?
