Honestly, id rather them raise the rates by a dollar or two, then try to hit families up for paying for additional accounts. That would at least be more straight up with the community as far as the dollars and cents go. Not yank our chains as it seems they are doing to me.
There are a few better ways of handling this as a "security" issue than shutting everyone (linked account usage) down like did. Besides if this was a security issue, its been ongoing for quite awhile, and I fail to see the effectiveness of turning it off out of the blue without having taken other actions towards the issue at hand.
Solution #1 - Make banned accounts inaccessible in all ways. A linked account not being able to access it would solve this problem.
Solution #2 - Change the system to allow multiple logins on the same account (up to 4 per account).
EDIT: Solution #1 is better, as kids playing on family accounts could easily delete pirates on the main account if using option #2, whereas linked accounts cannot delete pirates on another account.
There are probably more approachs, but these 2 seem quite obvious. And something they could have worked on without shutting everyone down, because as I said, if this was a security issue, its been ongoing now for quite awhile, and did not warrant a sudden shut down of the feature.
The one and only time I got banned from the game, their customer service manager actually TOLD me to create an additional account to circumvent the ban. Thats Disney wisdom for you.
