many of the vets in the game know about sitting and the risks if you appoint someone and they screw your account up its your fault as it makes it clear what your getting into.
 
 
On the other hand, anyone who's played the game any significant amount of time can think of at least once instance where an inactive account was kept active "for the good of the alliance" or whatever other reason through the sitter function.  Even if no one says it outright.
 
It's less about abuse of active vacationing players accounts and more about it being used to keep inactives from being suspended.

i think the system works as is if you regulate it any more it will get ridiculous. and yes i know some have been kept active for the good of the alliance. but the 90 days is good enough only a quarter of the year. not a whole lot. i would be more concerned about password sharing then the sitting stuff as with any system there will be abuses.
whats happened to the world? if intelegent life came to earth is RL would they consider us intelligent or not? probably not!!!!
