Out of curiosity, why is that not allowed? What's the benefit that they gain from controlling the computer remotely instead of just logging into the account?
The benefit is that the account is always logged in, and it's just who is controlling it at any given moment that changes. It may not be a huge deal, but it's a difference. You also could allow someone access to play a character but without giving them the account info itself, fwiw.

But yeah. I'm curious to see what rule forbids remotely controlling a client. It certainly isn't any of the ones I'm familiar with, which all just cover multiple clients per player, automated inputs, or altering of the client. Remote control is 1:1, manual control without altering the client. It's no different in kind than using a wireless keyboard and mouse to play from 15 feet away instead of a wired keyboard and mouse to play from 2 feet away.

I'm getting an erection at the thought of being able to control p99 on my desktop via my phone when I'm in the line at the grocery store.
