I'm pretty sure that it is possible to notice if somebody is creating so many accounts all from the same IP address/IP range. And if it is possible to detect that, it is possible to block accounts.

Incidentally, coming from the World of Tanks scene (a game which is, I promise you, MUCH longer and more painful to grind); that game has a cesspit community of account buyers/sellers. People absolutely WILL grind accounts to insane levels just to sell them/the stuff associated with them. Wargaming has spoken out against that multiple times, even to the point of it appearing as a pre-battle message in-client. It's harder to crack down on it than you might think.
With Rivals? Give them to chance, it'll happen.
