I'm just gonna say this. You can't prevent people from accumulating. I am interested in accumulating Mrai, I've openly stated that. No matter what you do, no matter how, I WILL find a way to accumulate it.
The reason why I think the faucet was a good way to distribute, was because it DOES NOT prevent poor people from getting in on it. Yes you will never be able to drop equally on all interested parties. But allowing anyone to get a chunk albeit small was a great idea.
As far as session clearing I thought you also block based on IP address. Perhaps blocking known IP ranges coming from AWS, etc. would work.
Now because you don't like the fact people like me are accumulating, you turn a 180 and completely remove the possibility that poor people could get in on it.
In fact with the auction you are now making it so I can accumulate a LOT of it all to myself. Heck I could hire 6 other guys and win ALL bids. And own ALL the supply. As much as I find this entertaining, I think it severely affects the trust. People don't like drastic changes in the midst of a campaign. You flip-flop, and that turns people off. This is why people like the concept of smart contracts, because you can't just change things the way you please.
I don't mind accumulating, in fact that's one of the things I have the least worry about for many of the reasons you listed. I had a technical problem of the result of maximizing accumulating by flogging the faucet which was directly generating transactions.
Solving that technical issue could alleviate my issues.
