    This is the problem:

    :Start
    1- I create new account.
    2- I make a character with name similar a GM/AM.
    3- Try scam some players.
    4- Someone report me on forum
    5- GamezAion ban my account.
    goto Start

    ///////

    Solution? Ban MAC address, not Account ^^.

    IP bans get bypassed with proxy, mac addresses can be faked too. You can't stop them this way

    The amazing power of google xd top results all full of guides. I am pretty sure they would have their own guides between the so called "hackers", same as they do for downloading all sorts of hacks for gamez.

    The steps are all really straight forward and you can change it in your own registry so yea, even people with no skill can do it

    The MAC address is a unique identifier of every device, which should have banned their PC specifically regardless of the IP they use. The point is, you can fake this one too.

    It's for this that I said MAC and no IP, for make a fake IP it's so easy but for change the MAC address you must have knowledge about this (So hard xD).

    And yes. We can see easy if the player that wisp us is an impostor or not, but I'm sure that the new players are endangered.

    Well tbh common sense is the simplest solution. If you aren't hacking and some moron with bad english asks you for a login, it is pretty obvious he is a scammer. No staff member on any server anywhere would ever ask for a login.

    Anyways changing mac address takes about as much effort as getting on a proxy. If they can do one, they can do the other
