Recently stumbled across "Got banned" video on youtube.
As per usual, OP only receives a automated response from Frontier not disclosing any information and he doesn't know why he got banned permanently from Open Mode and proceeds to permanently delete his 3 CMDR's on his 3 accounts.
At least for me, there are immediately red flags popping up. He says he has a powerful PC and can run all 3 accounts on 3 game clients at the same time. So obviously..
... yes obviously...
... the other accounts (that are holding substantial amounts of credits) have been used to share wing missions or perform exploits to funnel progression for the main account. Therefore providing unfair advantages that a single account owner would be unable to compete with.
Which I personally assume (without evidence) is what got him banned. Even though he claims he only used them to avoid the expensive ship transfers... yeah right. He also claims that no where in the ToS does it directly state that this is a violation... which I kinda have to concur with, was unable to find anything specific myself.
That said, no one in their right mind would do the engineer grind x3, buy 3 copies of Odyssey just to avoid the inconvenience of ship transfers. Much less torture a PC by running 3 clients at the same time. That is just cruel...
However, people in his comment section (part of this community) are very quick to defend him and offer their kind farewells. It is also abundantly clear that this is a video to promote the fault being on Frontiers end. Several other players also come forward in the comment section admitting that they also own several accounts and that it is in fact very common for all CMDR's during or before Horizon to have several accounts.
I disagree, but I could be wrong. So I'd like to probe the community here.
- What is your stance on owning multiple accounts?
- What is Frontiers official stance on owning multiple accounts?
- Do you believe that owning multiple accounts and using them to gain advantages otherwise unavailable is acceptable?
- To those of you that do own multiple accounts... what are you using them for and why?
- To those of you (like me) that only own a single account, have you ever considered getting more accounts and what for?
UPDATE: The reason for the ban, was multi-crewing with alt accounts which Frontier considers a exploits and was supposed to be a 3 day ban. His accounts have been restored.

In practice they don't have any problems with multiple accounts.
