Everyone can do this, the only reason people don't is because 1) for every supported planet, there need to be several supporting planets, and 2) few people are as dedicated as the pillars of the groups I mentioned.
Multiing is not a requirement for having support planets, nor have you in my opinion adequately proven that there is a connection between the two or that multiiing is bad for the game.

You just mentioned Elviz and the liths.... haven't they had their planets closed in the past for multing? and what a co-incidence they had support planets.[/quote]

Choosing whether or not to get guards is not a "gameplay option" in the sense you use it: no one can force me to get guards, nor can anyone force me not to get them. It might not be clever to get enough guards to get 150 alert, but the choice is mine to make.
On the other hand, having a rule saying "You're not allowed to have more than 5000 guards, otherwise it becomes unfair to people who aren't very good at cov opping" is limiting gameplay options: someone else is telling me that I can't get 5001 guards, for no particularly justifiable ingame reason. Telling people they can't defend out of tag more than 3 times a week is very similar: the only reason the rule is there is because not everyone is good enough at the metagame.

Cov ops are only an interaction with the cov oper and the target only. whilst attacks and defense can be interfered with by a third party. have as many or little guards as you like.

I have no quarrel with that providing it is def from ingal and/or tag.
