Re: Regarding the Use of Third-Party Programs and Player Safety

It would not be "extremely easy". It would also only confirm that character A and B belong to the same account, it would not give you as much information as you're able to obtain now. Just take the L. You don't know what you're talking about.

You're not engaging your brain and you're being a rude little boy as is usual for you so I'm not going to respond to you after this.

I'm not saying it gives you the exact same info as the stalker plugin does. I said it allows you to discover an accounts alts, and it does. Please read people's posts better. And it's incredibly easy for a stalker to get that info, especially considering a stalker likely already knows their targets common online times. The in-game player search even tells you a character's location in the overworld.

Given how you think that an N^N search server side is the exact same as an N^1 search client side, you should not be talking down to people on this matter. You're clearly not a developer and that's ok, but then keep your opinions on software architecture to yourself.

lol.

How exactly does "is character 1's account id in character 2's blacklist?" differ from "is account id 1 in my blacklist?" in terms of time complexity? They're both linear at worst, O(n) - where n is the number of accounts in your blacklist. There isn't a huge amount of additional overhead required to do this server-side.

This is all based on assumptions about the way that the data is stored, so claiming to know the time complexity of the required algorithm is questionable, but if the data is stored in such a way that they can't implement it properly - either change the way that the data is stored or don't implement the feature.
