Now when we are talking about being targeted by more than 8 characters simultaneously then obliterated because all shot at you at the same time, I do find that to be beyond human control. In other words, software working in the background is helping such a person to have such control over so many characters.
I wasn't there in person for the latest of OP battles, but what i have seen in many OP battles was that i was targeted by atleast 12 characters from the Kara side and fired upon at the same time. What do you make of that?
I tell you what. It's called ASSIST MACRO! Step 1: Target entity = Yakapo. Step 2: Target my target's target. Step 3: Use Shortcut = Whatever number your best spell is on.
You can also add a chat line in there saying /follow that will make you follow the target around like an ALT and if you keep pressing the macro you will fire upon enemy as soon as your Followee targets an enemy. It may look like he controlls you but i can assure you, he isn't.
The reason i'm writing this is because i got this very same answer when i "Whined" about Karas kicking us when TI wasn't around to help us all with their sheer numbers of combined master skills.

I don't use alts, even for mining, but if coding the game in such a way as to disallow players from having multiple characters from the sam IP address is the only way to stop the abuse, I'd consider blocking alts to be a reasonable compromise.
The problem with this is you would be banning many players. Almost half. Those who share internet at home or at a public place to play, ultimately have the same IP address, but have different Sub-IP addresses. By limiting log-in 1 per IP you would not let but only 1 person play at the time from a home, workplace or cyber cafees.
Please consider that.
