So i think thiers deffo a argument for co playing levelling the playing field amongst accounts, as everyone has the capacity to make a account as active as they like.
However, the reality is, some people like playing solo, and get smoked by 3/4/5 player accounts, and without compromising on persons desire to play solo they cant compete and would rightly point out said inequality.
Ive played solo to great success and also co-d some great accounts, theirs a argument either way for sure, perhaps it being a potential togglable setting, some worlds 1 player 1 account, others coplay allowed?, another alternative would be have night bonus a hard no actions performed phase, so during uk waking hours people may co or not co to whatever activity they desire but night is strictly night, and not a perdiod of time to be leveraged for different time zones advantage.
When playing solo ive never been irked about people being active all day and doing well, its the guys with aussie/us co's abusing uk night bonus ti force solo uk players to either co or break sleeping patterns.
Either way thiers options to server our diverse community.
One thing that i think should be set in concrete and has been much overlooked and if i read the rules right should be illegal anyway, the whole merge to co shenanigans, if you join a world on a account, thats the only account you should be allowed to play
People who regularly co each other start separately with longer term plan to merge and co, thats just a long term push account imo
Whether premeditated or not, it playing multiple accounts on a world and is blatant cheating.
So perhaps a rule that once you join a world its only that account you can play
or
if you wanna co play you begin a world with your co, and going fwd no additional co's may play account, so ends as it begins sorta shtick.
I dunno, i do feel for some dude who wants to play tw to a relatively high level and has the day time activity to do so, only to be pestered 24/7 by multiple players logging into a account from around the world.
