I understand your worries but there is a war going on and SE is loosing. Gil spammers making money off them and breakin there eula SE must act harshly. Banning ip's stops the reroll. They change 1 letter then send next Thousand harrasing spams. They have us using /busy in a mmo. A lot of other games have gil spammers blocked. Fear placed into players and sellers alike makes it slow if not all stop, and those who's accounts get hacked via buying should not be let back after whining, its against there EULA. Enforce it! Make them see they can't provide us with customer service or a harrasment free game then what are we paying for? You see the bot groups queing in spots. Some places have 2 or 3 piled up on each other. We report and they end up spamming us 7 to 8 times throughout day not to mention friend requesting now too. Bot programs in same locations for days on end nothing being done. Most disconcerting thing to me is my blacklist never gets dropped means they remain.

I don't think you understand, banning the ip is much more likely to harm innocent players.

It's incredibility easy to play as a different ip if you don't mind a little more lag, and a person using bots doesn't really care about lag, it's all automated.

Now if a innocent person was banned because they share the same ip as the target (universities often have many people on just a few, if not only one, external ip), what are they going to do? Sure they could go and use a different ip, but the additional lag is much more of a game breaker to them than it is to the person using the bots.

Banning the ip is not the solution to the problem.
