Or some similar solution.

Situation: As of right now, someone is creating free accts, with a slight variant on naming, and using trial assaults to team kill. High degree of likelihood such person has an actual account that they are not using.

Propose: auto detection of anomalous amount of free acct creation in a short period from a single (or closely associated) IPs.

Drawback: potentially hurts VPN users; less likely, but potentially hurts multi acct families on routers.

If there is a more sophisticated solution, and I feel there probably are, I am not personally aware of them (not my forte, as it were).

In short, malicious actors are able to abuse the free acct system. A solution is required.

These cases rare but annoying. When game club will lock down this is not good :)

I've been running into this issue all day today. Likely the same guy you're talking about.

The big issue for me is having to put down a friendly assault that has already ripped through a full lance of allies still imposes some hefty penalties.

I might add onto this suggestion once a teammate deals over 200 points of damage to friendlies that the penalties for destroying them either be reduced or to have them be marked as a hostile.

as this has gone on for several days now, and is the sort of thing that actively drives players away, it's hardly rare or a small issue.
There is NO reason not to take this seriously and deal with it.

Anyone who suggests otherwise is suspect of being the Griefer.
