When T/M's can't team up, they're effectively taken out of the game.

As far as banking, you don't seem to be able to understand what I'm saying. One: You're 100% wrong about how banks track IPs and relate them to logins. If I have a customer at my desk and they log into their online for the first time with me there, and they're from a state 500 miles away, they will be asked to further verify their identity. They make a point of it to restrict unusual or unknown IPs from accessing an account. In other words, they practice smart filtering by saying "Is this normal for this customer?" and then approaching it in a sensible manner. I promise you, if you were to try to log in to your online banking from a place totally foreign to you without a pretty obvious linear relationship to that destination through IP logs, you would be asked to further verify yourself.

Two: Point A has nothing to do with anything at all as the devs of the game make their money by pageviews and adclicks, thus more players playing means more revenue for them. In regards to your point regarding accessing accounts not tied to you being a federal crime, that's neither here nor there. As I said, if they were to abuse the system, they'd get either the banhammer or added to a blacklist. I'm not proposing amnesty for multis, but instead a system that filters the multis, but also allows for players who share IPs. Regarding point B, again, if you had actually read my post, you would have seen this bit.



The emphasis is mine.

Through behavioral modeling, this could effectively be eliminated or somewhat curbed. If you want to limit access to the accounts, look at what's normal, and go from there. It's THAT SIMPLE. You seem to fail at reading my posts so I'm going to say it again.

USE BEHAVIORAL MODELING TO CREATE A FILTER THROUGH REGULAR EXPRESSIONS THAT IS EASILY MAINTAINED AND REQUIRES VERY LITTLE UPKEEP.

Was that easier for you to read?
Hmm id say not all banks, I go through several(chase,wells fargo; and a local credit union) I've logged in from africa, canada, afghanistan, iraq....and countless others to transfer money etc and I've never had a flag. Your behavior modeling sounds like a nifty idea, but highly unlikely your comparing banks(who most of which hire out web design, site sec etc to 3rdthe party companies), to a company with little to no employees and income capabilities to do such a thing...highly unreasonable request...
