If we did this for every event and every boss then we would implement code to limit it 1 character online at a time. As it is, the systems that use it are already abused by bringing all your toons in tow. You guys only think on the ME and MICRO level. So if you want everyone to get a chance at everything, all the time, I will talk with Dexter, we will increase the IP blocking to 1 per IP and then we will keep an eye on VPNs. Only a select few would be happy with this change though. It is why UO does not do it for all their systems. Stuff isn't coded certain ways to make it harder for you guys. Its coded certain ways to prevent exploiting or abusing by a select few.
I have no problem with a rule, check or etc.. that prevents or limits/hinders me from using an alts, as i am sure most are. I find it insulting that you claim my request is only focused on "ME" or a micro level when that is not my goal or even my request.. my issue is, I like to play with friends or the community in my MMO's and systems like this prevent/hinder/deter's that kind of behavior.
I am not saying that limiting to 1 IP on at the same time is necessarily the answer, as people like to do multiple things at the same time, but what about a limit on drops for alts or prevent alts at the boss? it is a rule that we cant use alts during PVP and that is generally (to my knowledge) honored.
Or require everyone to register their accounts (something already in place) and working on a system basing the limit of the registered accounts where only one of the registered accounts is counted if multiple of them are at the event? I am not saying i have the answers just that this system needs to be adjusted and fixed.
I really couldn't care less about bringing an alt, i do it because it is allowed, if it is causing issues with systems or preventing me from wanting to participate in group events then ill stop doing it.
