I Think it's Time to Start IP Banning Cheaters
I've been seeing an absolute ton of "Thank You" messages lately for reporting cheaters. But nothing annoys me more than to see that [insert cheater name here, hi ToS] keeps appearing on the game, with the same emblems, on the same Guardian class, doing the EXACT SAME CHEAT (Solar Grenade nuke). You know why? Because he's making new accounts for free and it takes at least 2 business days to actually ban someone instead of detecting Solar Grenades bigger than the sun and banning them instantly.
Bans need to start being permanent, and an IP ban would do it. BUT...
Now, I know people love using their VPNs and such to manage their privacy. I'm not even sure if the ToS for this game allows VPNs, but I think it shouldn't as that will continue to allow these cheaters to get away with it forever.
IP bans need to happen. It's clear that the current system isn't working.

2 Replies[quote]and an IP ban would do it.[/quote] Things like CGNAT and Dynamic IPs would mean you're hitting people that weren't doing anything to be banned as well. It's a fast way to get people to refund issuing them with a ban because someone else miles away from them did something on the same broadband provider as them and due to that provider using CGNAT they got a perma ban as well.
