Then you should retitle this to "How to be OSF as a Main" given that this is a niche that very few players would be willing to do. What's the point? As an OSF you are nothing more than a charity service to other players. While some get off on that, they're a select few. A more accessible guide would describe all the worthwhile OSF options available and the advantages/disadvantages of each approach. While you may prefer your own approach, as you said yourself it is not applicable to everyone. This is why many clans don't have OSFs - they think the only way to do it is on your main and they can't find any suckers to take up that job. Instead they should learn how to build a low maitenance OSF on their own and then encourage others in the clan to do the same. When I provide OSF services I try to help people build up far enough that they can either acheive 100% independence or, even better, reach a point where they can help others build. Teaching people to leech off of you is a waste of time for both you and them.
People, giving away your password to share an account is a bad idea in a hundred different ways. You do not know these online people. They are 99% likely to not be who they say they are. The only trustworthy person for this kind of information would be a close personal friend or family - and even then I would suggest extreme caution.
Feel free to create a thread that details how you maintain your osf alt and how maintainence free it is. I'm sure everyone would rather do things that way since it is much easier
Again, a better guide would describe the various approaches to building an OSF with all the inherent advantages and disadvantes. Yours includes a subset of those, yet pretends at a broader scope. It's just feedback - get used to it if you're going to write things like this in a public forum.
Describe the different ways to build then? Does it necessarily have to be build complete for you? What about for others? Does that mean I go into gritty detail as to how to exploit the remaining aspects of the game? Why are devs slowly cutting off all the low maintenance ways of easy money? If you want to encourage the proliferation
Of spy alts and spy support files then make your own guide. It's within your power and apparantly it would be very comprehensive.
Another thread that's way better than the crap being spanned in "active" - this iiillliii or whatever guy probably hates me but *shrug* whatever man...
