Not what you think, they need to link accounts to something other than a user account that can be created with nothing. They need to link accounts with something (credit card, phone number) that will make it either impossible, or put in too much effort, to keep making new (smurf) accounts. Just started playing on PC (been on PS4 since a month after launch) and the amount of smurfing I see is out of control.
