Clear Guidelines from the Developers Regarding ANBs

[Arawn]

Travis | Support Mgr. So dual-classing is allowed but creating multiple characters of the same class is not. Gotcha

[Travis | Support Mgr.]

Dual classing is allowed. Creating multiple event heroes to exploit crafting chances is bannable.

[Tin Man]

Players have been banned for dual-classing, though the bans have been reversed in some cases when the number of high-level gear pieces for the final class is not supported by the crafting done by the final class.

Dual-classing is not considered an exploit. Dual-classing makes you more vulnerable to falling within thresholds that trigger you to be banned at least until a manual review is done.

This was discussed in a deleted thread where a player was permanently banned for using crafting toons during ANBs, which is considered to be an exploit. Comments were made in that thread about dual-class players being temporarily banned before.

The "do not run more than one ANB hero" remark was referring to dual-classing making you more vulnerable to tripping certain thresholds but is not disallowed in and of itself.

The ANB Event will end Monday May 16 (8 or 9 days typically)

YOUR time (playing time limit) is the amount of ACTIVE playing while out of home town. Either in Story Maps or in Trials.

Once YOUR time ends (playing time limit) - YOU can no longer run story maps or trials. You will still be able to open your character and craft and upgrade skills.

Once the EVENT ends - You will no longer be able to run story maps or trials. Crafting will return to full cost. When the Event Ends - there will be a button that shows up - END EVENT. You can then transfer your character to your main account IF you have an open character slot.

Tin Man , does this mean no more dual-classing? How did you hear this? I still haven't seen anything from Travis or Adrian...

[Dat Kkm]

Can anybody help me to understand what is "playing time limit" in ANBs mean?
sorry, this my first ANB, so I don't understand it clearly (may be this because of my bad english ?)
I can see that ANB event last 8 day, and "playing time-limit" is 9hours. What happening if I just play till run out that "time-limit"? The event will be close to me? And I need to wait till ANB event end and get reward (if i had) later?

Because im lack of exp and gold in game (gem too?), I fear that if I go to farming and the time-limit come to end, then I will end my ANB event sooner @@

We have guidance from the developers.

Exploits, within reason meaning not directly hacking the game, are perfectly acceptable for ANB events. Players are allowed to get away with murder as long as you do not run more than one ANB hero and have any one hero with more L77 pieces than the crafts by that hero warrant.

Have a technique to improve your ANB performance that we are not even allowed to discuss publicly? Have at it! They only ban players for crafting "outliers" and leave everyone else alone no matter how suspicious.

Start planning your tactics for Gold #14 now as it will likely start on Friday.

Enjoy and good luck!
