I know this is not a thread on Alts, though it seems to be becoming that. But, on that subject, instead of trying to figure out ways to block alts - which will inevitably end up blocking at least some valid players - it would make more sense to reduce the urge to make them in the first place. The GW change is a step in the wrong direction - it promotes the making of alts. Taking 5 durability for one battle is simply too much! That means no matter what your power is - no matter how hard you've worked to get where you are - you can fight 20 battles IF you win them all. So, now 20 low levels (alts?) can take out a single power player. They've each lost 10 - so they can do it again - up to 10 times total. Something just don't sound right about that.
