Considering you get daily coins for free and there are several members with ten or more chrono.gg accounts to exploit the CV system.

Update: a Super Mod has confirmed this games should be considered bundled. Most users have voted for that option in the poll so I think this is the best solution.

How much CV should they get?

Chrono.gg Prices are up. I get 20 measly coins every day. I have 70,000 coins since the site started. Most good games are from 12,000 to 20,000. Freebies are 5000 with the exception of some indie here and there. Now, bundled games are considered lowest price that a game it has been. You being able to get so very few games with these chrono coins, IF you spent the time, sweat and effort to amass said coins, is like paying for the games in a different way, much grindier process, too. Not to mention that there are games sold on Chrono, which are always same price are higher than a bundle value price or even more.

The only thing I can think of, that might be exploitable (not sure about how Chrono.gg feels about it, rules-wise), is for people having multiple accounts, or even people with bots and scripts getting the coins every day (imagine 200 accounts)... I am kinda split now when I think of this, but if that exploit is not done, I think that Chrono.gg games should be considered as any normal key, not a bundled one. Plus, there are freebies on chrono, which should be regarded as freebies as it is now, and not bundled ones.

Cheers!

The users we speak about use bots for their multiaccounts and don't do one single click for the farming by themself.

Then I agree for the lowered value. Shame on those users...
Thanks for the clarification @Masafor.

They used to be added to the bundle list, we probably just forgot about them since there aren't that many unbundled games available there

Thanks for the info, I'll try to send a ticket every time I see an unbundled game in chrono.gg

The people who run multiple accounts to farm games from sites like Chrono need to get out of their basement more often.

First off, this is a really good move to give reduced value of CV as the games from chrono.gg are free as it just requires collection of coins daily. And I have to admit, I did the same and gave such games here, thought most of the games were bundled and gave the ones which weren't bundled. But now, this is a great move to be completely honest.
And, it is to intimate that the game Uurnog Uurnlimited is shown as FULL VALUE given from my account, which is also from chrono.gg. Kindly do the needful in this regard.
I thought Chrono.gg banned multiple accounts from the same IP or something similar to prevent farming. Are they not doing any such things?
Thank you :)

I don't think so, check the first link of the OP.

I got a answer from Chrono, to my multiaccount users report email, with a few examples inside, clear steps to catch more in the future, and a question about a possible bountyhunter reward for finding multis (i do the same for other companies and a part give a bit as reward).


Heya Masafor!

Thanks for the heads up! It's most definitely an issue we're aware of, and an issue we've been working to combat for quite some time. Unfortunately, we don't offer any sorts of rewards for bug bounties or reporting multiple accounts, but the gesture is still very much appreciated! Again, thanks for the heads up, hope you're having a good one! :slight_smile:
