How many Alt accounts can someone have before it is cheating?

Thank you for your thoughtful response.

Maybe I should pose the question better. We all pay the same amount to play this game. I understand the developers not having the time to catch every little infringement, but surely they should be watching for major infringements. This alliance has been massively and blatantly cheating for a long time. It seems no one is watching! How to we ask the developers to take a look?
