I was thinking on this and came up with something that might be even easier to implement. How about just requiring a valid E-Mail address to patch with 1 patch allowed per email address. I'm not sure of the EQemu account struture and what work has been done around it, but keeping a simple list of legit emails to test against seems fairly trivial. This would allow people to patch more than once since almost everyone has multiple email addresses, but it would put a limit on how many times people patched.
It seems this would keep people from doing the Live -> Emu -> Live shuffle knowing that they only got one patch per email address.
