How? Because of machine ID? You can spoof machine ID too, just like you can change your IP with a VPN

psychology, how are you going to convince warm bodies to use VPNs and break the server rules

people already don't wanna do that shit but have to because it's the culture, so having cover is all they need for the problem to be sorted, and you get the bonus of not being caught up in a ban dragnet everytime they bother to fight RMT and you logged into the same mule,tracker,rogue as the dude rmting

I don't see how you would prove account sharing though.
If someone on the other side of the country or internationally logs your account in before you could reasonably travel there I'd assume that's evidence enough.

"oh but my brother..." sure sure

I think you my be a little new here (I don't say that disparagingly, welcome!)...the people who raid for pixels nonstop for years in the top raid guild would absolutely use VPNs and other methods and break server rules. They would have zero issue doing this if it meant they could utilize bots and get the vast majority of the targets/drops.

apparently you're new, i was in TMO and Forsaken and Aftermath and raided on blue for like 15 years, 10 people do 90% of the work in a raid, making VPNs ban-able means the people that login and afk at Seb when trak spawns because if they don't they fell behind the dkp pyramid scheme wouldn't roll out of bed at the batphone because their actual competition the 90% of warm bodies won't either.

the term warm body exists for a reason

if you have any other questions about p99 and how it works lemme know

what will happen in practice is instead of two big boy guilds ruining everything for everyone, the play makers of both will be a singular guild for about a month before they're at each others throats do to the personalities and it will implode internally in about a month and they'll fuck off instead of the boom bust merge meta that blue had for a decade that everyone hated in retrospect

A bit hyperbolic. Even so, this is the game, as designed. More people getting involved ends up being counterproductive because everyone has their own ideas about how things ought to be done. There are still plenty who actively participate and volunteer to do extra on raids. It isn't binary, either you're a playmaker or a warm body.

i was literally rounding up if we wanna be honest about it

i'm not counting the grunt work like tracking without falling asleep or the odd duck who can kite a vulak guard without fucking up because running in circles is hard apparently, or the buffer who you're happy with because they actually respond in a timely matter unlike every other one in the fucking guild

none of that work matters without the pull team and we saw how toxic that arms race got, i didn't play on green but afaik none of the things that made blue turn to shit were addressed there
