Why use any sort of an app just for the global chat?
That's a bit harsh. I could say something similar about mentioning account sharing in connection with "global IPs" which is not an actual thing.
Kabam cannot detect and distinguish every possible instance of account sharing, but they can detect things related to or connected with account sharing and they can and do take action on that basis. For example, if you share your account with someone who violates the TOS in a more obviously provable way, you cannot use as a defense that you were not responsible because someone else was doing that action. Since you have to admit you shared your account with someone else, you'd be in violation of the TOS regardless.
If I hand my phone to someone and say "here, do this fight" there's no possible way to detect that. But if I hire a mercenary to complete LoL for me, that might be detectable. For one thing, the mercenary himself could be discovered, and then traffic analysis could eventually find all the accounts he logged into. Persistent activity is detectable.
Kabam is unlikely to ban you for *only* account sharing, but that's because it is extremely difficult for them to ever know you were doing that in the first place. But if you account share as part of other TOS violations, with or without your knowledge, you cannot use account sharing itself as a defense.
That's why they mention it. They are reminding everyone that account sharing is a violation, and they can ban you if they ever discover you account sharing. They can't find all account sharers nor are they likely to conduct a deliberate search for them. But if you flaunt account sharing, admit to account sharing, or do blatantly detectable things with account sharing, they may warn you, they may temp ban you, they may under the right conditions perma-ban you. And if account sharing is done in conjunction with something like modding or hacking the game, Kabam considers sharing your account with someone who does that as just as bad as doing it yourself.
In effect, Kabam is reminding you that you are responsible for what anyone does with your account. You are giving the person you share your account with the ability to get you perma-banned. The fact that you didn't know what they were doing is no excuse.
You're just connected to the network via somewhere else
Agreed. My alliance mate travels from the US to Japan/Germany monthly for his job. He could possibly get banned over some nonsense.
