I know this has been up quite a few times in the past, but I would like to have a discussion with the new people in charge about IP blocks and the no longer existing whitelist.

So, I play in the same kingdom as my wife. We have recently recruited her sister as well (we want more players, right?) and now it's starting to get annoying working around the constant IP blocks in war.

There must be a better way to determine if people are one and the same than just using the IP address? I know people who play from their work, school etc also have this problem and it doesn't seem to be an issue with any other game in the world?

1. Is there still a big enough problem with multis to warrant making the game harder for some of the players?
2. Why was the whitelist removed? If someone can provide proof of a real life relationship, why not unblock them?
3. Why not block based on devices instead? Most people play on their own phone/computer I would imagine.
