Chain banning bots based on IP (suggestion)

It’s not a deterrent at all. It is trivially easy to bypass if they tried to implement something like this. Here’s a 2 word clue that you can throw into google: “vagrant up”. If the client was attempting to fingerprint the system it is running on and create a hardware id/hash based on that, it would only impact people who don’t bot or bot casually. If you are thinking of network based identification, that simply won’t work at all. VPNs are a thing and the blizzard servers will never see a player’s MAC address (that’s the whole point of a routable protocol like TCP/IP).

Blizzard does not want to ban them. See here:

Startuptimpa, please stop hijacking threads to push your fly-hack agenda. You have your own forum thread about fly-hacking, if we wanted to talk about it, we would go there.

The way you keep spamming makes me wonder if you are a bot.
