Holy shit I really hope this is a joke...

Piss on the hate mongers. Ban them all. I'm already getting hate mails. You morons can't even play a game that is free without cheating. Dirt bag nerds. Ban them all.

Didn't this happen with fungi tunics on live until they were made MAGIC?

honestly isn't this just rogues being rogues, your hard work means nothing, you picked the wrong class.

impossible?

cant you just check ip, if a new login comes in and it pings halfway around the world in <5m it's an account being shared.

He is mostly correct...but, there are ways to make it much harder and riskier. If nothing else they'd occasionally get to publicly ban a few dozen players and the rest of the server gets to read their crocodile tears in RNF...but it does actually dissuade bad behavior in the future.

Same way we dealt with platlord and others...just because it is impossible to stop all RMT doesn't mean you don't clamp down every once in a while to remind folks of the rules and consequences.

You can use screen sharing to just remotely control the original logged in computer. You could have a dozen different people take turns without having to camp out once.

then make the code not accept it, with a block to external access.

I think that's more complicated than you think (or more expensive, if you want to avoid the ground up solution).

Even Netflix (as an example) does not have a 100% fool proof solution. They have a solution which is illegal to bypass, but it *is*bypassable.

People will just spoof the IP and machine ID to make it look like they're on the same comp/internet connection

I vote the rogues get to keep their beads, but receive a 1-way transfer to Red...or whatever that chinese EQ server is called, that works too.
