[quote]Not quite that straightforward solution. A VPN can circumvent the ban completely since it changes your public IP on-demand. Pretty sure 1 ISP's 4g cellular data connection I had a while back did the same thing every time I rebooted the router that had the connection's SIM card. Also would be a problem in countries where net cafe culture's more prominant compared to personal gaming platforms. 1 guy gets the cafe banned and it's that for all users. Overall cheating's a pervasive issue that doesn't possibly have 1 clear solution, but just needs multiple of them layered together to make the cheating hard + costly enough that folks can't be bothered doing it more than once. Report based ban system, active anti-cheat, account bans, IP bans, hardware bans, limit free to play account access to pvp [i]in some capacity[/i] [u]so the bans actually mean something[/u]. With proper consideration. These tools are not mutually exclusive and all could be required to tone the cheating down to bearable levels, since D2 right now is at the core a F2P game with unlimited access to burner accounts which makes cheating very accessible and no-risk.[/quote] 👈👈😎

totally agree with you here. Do all the them at the same time and while some will still cheat, and do what is necessary to avoid the bans, most will not and will find it to punitive to try or once they are caught, will simply move on to something else.
