Ya back in the day in WoW it was enforced

During the rank 14 grind in vanilla we had an “honor mafia” that ran battlegrounds all day. In our group we decided who would be first, second, etc in total honor for the week for the server

The only way to complete with the 2000+ honor/8 minutes we could get by winning every battleground as fast as possible as a solo player who was NOT winning all battlegrounds, would be to play more

So while us in the honor mafia only had to play about 6-8 hours per day, a lone rogue trying to get more honor than us could get more if they played 20+ hours per day (assuming a much slower rate of honor gains due to losing quite a lot of battlegrounds)

The only way people could do that would be to account share. So we would inspect anyone coming close to our honor totals that wasn’t part of our group and report them for account sharing

Every single one of them got banned, so I’m assuming blizz used to check IP’s. Now they don’t give a fuck
