Do You Search For People's Alts?

Do you search for people’s alts? Either on the forums or in-game for something. If you do, for what purpose?

I do sometimes if someone is being a TERRIBLE troll to see if I can find out who they might be otherwise, meh.

I’m also asking this because sometimes I see my characters get a +1 in views around the same time and I think someone found me :eye: :lips: :eye:
It’s probably just a coincidence but I think it’s funny.

Not really. But sometimes it’s quite obvious who they are. There are some that obsess over finding alts to get that “gotcha moment” and in some cases, make threats.

I like to know who is who :slight_smile: I don’t want to be friends and enemies with the same person lol. I post from Velen gnomes in the same guild, so it’s pretty obvious, but it’s harder to tell when you have people who are alliance and horde and across a bunch of different servers.

A cursory glance if I suspect somebody is lying about their experience.

Yep, all the time.

The only time I check an alt is if I think it’s someone liking their own posts and faking conversation or using their alt-brigade to gang up on people. Other than that, I don’t.

Can be useful sometimes when someone is hiding on an alt while making wild claims about their experience, but between people using fresh blank battle.net accounts to troll and the setting that disables sites like check-pvp from working, it’s becoming less useful. Can always still compare pets to see if someone is talking to themselves in a thread though.

I now know who you are, OP.

I used to back in the day when it was easier to check if someone was lying about their history that applied to my guild.

I am all my characters :slight_smile: No single character is more important than the others, “the one you play the most” is the one that I sit in the garrison on and work on developing addons. “The one you are most progressed on” is probably one of the less often played ones because he just does what needs to be done (44 renown for flying, 80 renown for the 40 renown BoA token, and soon to be [whatever] for 9.2 flying).

I only do so with guild applicants to make sure they aren’t someone who has been stalking or harassing any of our members.

I never have. I can’t think of when it would really be relevant to stalk someone to find out their alts.

Oh man, reminds me of the time I used to be friendly with someone on one character then we both fought on alts, lmao. IDK if they ever knew it was me, but I knew it was them.
