It's a decent idea in theory due to today's movement towards static IP addresses for households. But a lot of players play on the road (I've played in hotel rooms on business trips) and this would be a massive hassle (unless they have a privately owned proxy with a static IP address). Phones also can have a floating IP address, so those who use tethering for their gaming pleasure would be SoL. And I've known atleast a dozen people who have done that.
