All big MMO games either disallow or highly recommend against account sharing, and you pay for those every month.

I know for sure I'd never want someone that's account sharing working on my servers.

Yes.

General Provisions. You may not use, copy, modify, sublicense, rent, sell, assign or transfer the license granted pursuant to this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

I agree, I wouldn't want an account sharer working on my server either. But for the general population, I see it like Xbox Live. I can't imagine telling someone they can't play on my account when borrowing my Xbox.

The problem is one person buys an account and shares it with friends and then suddenly 3-4 other people don't need to buy an account because they'll just use their friends.

Exactly the problem and one of the reasons I assume that liftetime subscriptions were ended. I can't say that the current subscription policy is ideal but looking at it from a business standpoint I can understand why it wasn't working out.

Wasn't working out because players knew it was not worth throwing money at. Games like LoL are making millions and they're free to play.

The funny thing is lifetime accounts are still given away on a regular basis.
