Account sharing is against GGG's ToS, so Elon should be banned. He probably RMTed it though (still against ToS). He would be fucked during a race though.

In PoE 1: racers stream their entire race. Once a league Zizaran hosts the Gauntlet (HC/SSF) race event, streaming on Twitch (often with a 4-panel split screen). They sub out different races to highlight boss fights and whatnot. You have to provide proof of any "bounty" you won. There are some cash money prizes, so this is all very strict.

During these races, players often have a timer showing how long they've been going, and it's not unusual to see 37 hours of straight streaming the first day. GGG hosts World Firsts events after XPac stuff, and is mindful of exploits.

That is all PoE 1. PoE 2 is in early access; it's the same people, so it should be the same integrity. I know a lot of Diablo folks came over for it, so I can't speak for them.

I'm sure it is but clearly that doesn't stop anyone.
