If your IP changes frequently it's extremely annoying not being able to log on RC. I think it's a hassle. I'm already protecting my computer with firewalls and trojan detectors, and common sense. I don't feel like going through the trouble of having to ask PWA to change my IP range and not getting a response for weeks.

It's not convenient. That is why people don't set them. It's not like they are out to get you and are purposely breaking your rule to make you mad. Again, I say let people take the risk. You can't protect all playerworlds. A playerworld could have all their RC ip ranges set, and then one of their higher staff accepts some level with hidden destructive scripts in it, and then what? Your security was for nothing.
Insecurity on one server may result as a generalization of Graal being insecure as a whole, especially by those who don't understand how Graal works. Only secure servers should be shown on the tabs in my opinion.
