Could we please remove the IP verification from the forums all the people with dynamic IP addresses keep having to go through the process of typing character names and when it's the third time in a week it gets very tiresome. Just please do not replace it with email verification that'd be even worse!

Ofcause i don't know if it bugs anyone else but it sure as hell bugs the crap out of me.

Granted, I don't have to deal with this much because my modem stays connected to my ISP 99% of the time, so my public IP address doesn't change very often, however it's a good level of verification for when you are trolling the forums from your buddies house.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

It's there for a really good reason.

Flood protection and denial of service attacks...

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...

It's for the greater good. You'd have to come up with a better system to take its place, and as you mentioned this is much better than email verification.
