Piloting & Account Sharing

Piloting is becoming a huge & continual issue throughout AW. It takes away so much potential rewards for players who actually play fairly, & rewards others who don't. In fact, it rewards players for not even playing on they're own account. For those who don't know what piloting is, let me explain.
Piloting is giving away login info, so that someone else with a higher skill set, can log onto your account, & win alliance war fights that you possibly couldn't. Sometimes, if not most of the time, the player with the highest amount of skill in the alliance will fight for the whole alliance in AW.
What is the problem with this? Well, let's start with the simple thing. It's against the rules. Done.
But the major issue isn't that it's simply against the Terms of Use, although that alone should be a big enough issue. The big issue, is that Alliance War... is called "Alliance War"... not "Greatest Keyboard Warrior vs Greatest Keyboard Warrior". Alliance War is meant for working as a team. You plan as a team, you work as a team, you win as a team & you lose as a team. When Alliances work incredibly hard as a team, then come across this alliance that takes the very fabric of the meaning of Alliances away, & simply has they're 1# Keyboard Warrior do everything, your simply bound to lose, because if there is even 1 Player in your alliance, even 1, that doesn't match the opponents Alliances 1# Player... Then the opponents Alliance has an edge. And just the slightest edge in an Alliance War these days, can result in a huge win. And just few wins/loses, can result in a huge change on where you land on the Leader Board, & how many rewards you will get.
The reason this is so important, is that Alliance Wars are such a HUGE part of the game now. If people are cheating to get past it, Piloting AWs could be a potentially "Game Ending". Yes, I mean the end of Marvels Contest of Champions as we know it. And I'm not saying this because I'm butt-hurt about losing, I'm saying this because I'm genuinely worried about the game.
So how do we stop Piloting? Punish Account Sharing. Cool... & how do you spot Account Sharing? I'm not sure. Maybe Location Info? If someone in San Diego is logging in, then 30mins later, that same account is being logged into in Seattle, there's obviously sharing involved. Or maybe, if someone catches some suspicious movement in AW on video if on some screenshots, Kabam could look into it? I'm not sure, all I know is that it has to stop, hopefully before Season 2 of Alliance War. Hopefully @Kabam reads this.

I'm sorry but please explain how it can be game ending if it's been so prevalent already?
How can you prove account sharing 100%? What if i travel all the time and i am in different cities? What if i use multiple devices that give different ip's. What if i use my company's wifi and it gives me a different ip?
I'm not disagreeing with it being against the rules. I don't do it myself either. You are completely off base by saying it will end the game. It's been happening since the beginning of the game and we are coming up on year 4.
I understand that the issue of account sharing is one that all players feel very strongly about. We do take violation of the Terms of Service seriously, and regularly take action against accounts found in violation of the rules. We have made our stance on this issue very clear and additional discussions about the topic are not necessary.
