Obtaining KOTH keys without physically being present at KOTH - is this intended?

Currently, you can obtain KOTH keys without being physically present at the KOTH. This means that all online players in the Civ get a KOTH key for CivKOTH, and all online players in the Fac get a KOTH key for FacKOTH. I am unsure if this is intended, but it arguably does go against the risk/reward nature of KOTH (being able to get rewards without having to actually go to the KOTH and risk dying). It also does encourage inviting alts to your faction and having them online to get more Fac KOTH rewards My feelings on alts are truthfully mixed. On one hand i don't think it's great on a casual factions server to be able to gain an advantage with alts (most casual players don't want to go through that trouble). On the other hand alts boost the server's playercount (and truthfully I suspect a lot of players leave as a result of seeing how few players are on). I'm not sure if the answer is encouraging the use of alts as much as possible or some kind of balance - encourage alts, but don't make it too OP
