I think the ironman cannon change is a step in the right direction, but there are so many ways ironmen can interact with other accounts to make progress. For example, there's some alt methods for luring burst tasks in the catacombs, this chinning method, paying off rev clans for peace, being utterly f**king useless in a raid, and pretty much all of Lowlander's history with ironman mode involves abusing alts in some form. That's just the stuff I thought off the top of my head, I'm sure I missed some, and it will probably be impossible to hit everything. Either way, it will be interesting to see more of these changes.
That's fair - we know it's not a fix for all the issues, but I'm glad to hear you think it's a step in the right direction.
