Locking client IP address to servers?
Making sieges tradable even made this situation worse… The base value of sieges really should go a LOT higher so at least it will be expensive to do such thing.
By the uptime on such trolls accounts I believe some of them are even being shared between a few people just to get the trolling rolling 24/7…
Currently we hardly can lay siege on the ground to defend buildings since they get spammed by ballistas being drop on top of them… Also taking supply from camps suffers from the same thing…
It’s a shame that the only real end game content of this game is currently a joke…
I have two accounts .. one in NA (lower tier) and one in EU. At one point I had both my accounts in NA, one on my original server and another on a way lower tier server so I could get a break from T2/T1 fights on occasion. This would prevent me from playing my accounts. This isn’t a good idea. Just create a support ticket for the trollers and let Anet sort it out. In-game reporting does nothing really, you have to create an actual ticket.
I understand that players actually do abuse the system this way, but your fix would encompass people who don’t and are playing legitimately.
There are people who live in the same house/apartment/whatever. They typically share a connection but not necessarily play on the same server.
Changing IPs can be trivial depending on ISP. Most ISPs seem to want extra money for a static IP. Most people do not need a static IP and won’t pay for one.
Locking an account to an IP doesn’t work either as there are just as many unstable connections and bad ISPs which. All that will do is give the game a terrible quality of service.
Wouldn’t help at all. Can change my ip at will as can most others.
