I know as a server owner you'd rather all your boxed characters to show up as different players so people think there are more people playing then there are.
This system is misleading and leads to really shitty server features like "keep all your boxed players logged in overnight for reoccuring bonuses!" for the sole purpose of making it look like there are more people then there are.
Obviously unique ips wont always mean individual players, but it is sure 3000% times better then whats going on now.
Like I said, a server with 50 unboxed characters has a different amount of players then a server with 12 players boxing 50 characters. Players do not look for the server with the most boxed characters. They look at the number to try to gauge how many players actually play there, which should actually be reflected in the number rather then a misleading fabricated player count.
