One of the many problems we have in WvW are people with multiple accounts using their Alts to sabotage enemy server. While these things a mostly just an irritant to some, it can have major effects on serious WvW game play. In my other thread, I brought up the issue with using Alt accounts to artificially queue the opponent’s BL or EBG. Other people have brought up Alts “tag watching” to get opponent positions on the map.

These issues can be hard for GMs to police, since it’s hard to prove based off of player reporting. Well, why not have a back end tool that tracks all IPs logged in, and automatically detect the same IP logged in with multiple servers. The program would work like a Web Crawler, collecting internal data of players’ IPs in WvW, and then post an alert for Anet when the same IP appears on different servers in a WvW match. When the alert goes off, the current GM could target the individual and kick one of the Alt accounts off the server’s BL.

As much as I do see the logic, that definitly wont work.

In some places like some friends of mine they play with 4 peeps from the same IP, its a family playing together all having the same IP from 1 provider just inside the house divided by an switch …

So as mentioned this issue is not solved in this way what so ever
