Wish there was an option for "it's just really annoying"

yes, it is. it is the ONLY proper solution. Multirealming should not be encouraged in any way.

I miss the option "What's the point of this poll?"

Is nobody going to point out that 16 people chose the "I'm a multirealmer who believes multirealming is a problem" option?

Multi-realming per se is not really the problem (except to realm loyalty purists). The problem is the timing of the logovers (too many just want to play in the current zerg realm).

IF some security-mechanic could be encoded into game that disallows switching (for say an hour or more), that keeps track of all pc's (not ip's) that use or have used NGD accts., then all would have to play where they were atm, or wait at least an hour to play elsewhere.

Is this 'solution' even possible; does such a database of user-pc's exist or can it be created? There are ways around ip-tracking: changing ip, having more than one internet access, etc. A pc-chipset-id methodology for blocking users' access could conceivably end, or at least curtail, both multi-realming as well as multi-logging (but shared users would suffer hour long waits between sessions; a price worth paying?).

Opinions?

SOME will leave... the determined multirealmers. That's no big loss, haven may lose some players in the short run but it will improve the game. Multirealming is one of the main problems of the game, even if you don't want to admit it.

It would be no worse to convert all these double realm accounts to a single realm, than it was for all players that ended up with double single realm account due to server merge.

They too have invested time and money and end up with 2 knights, two conjurers etc.

No NGD have been greedy, likely underestimating the problems that this would create and now their hands are basically tied.
