gossamersolid 155 Posted August 16, 2011 blocking IPs won't really be a viable solution until IPv6 becomes commonplace and NAT'd IPv4 is no longer implemented imho... I still don't see how IPv6 will solve the problem. People will just change their IPs again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the idea of a GUID, if you are banned for ever on plenty servers, you can buy a news game. I think this cheaters base destroyers ... are mostly kids, to spend again 40 Euro for a new game will make them a second thought before doing this. But this does not work-for the free version, they just register a new account. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The nice thing with the Arma2free is the high amount of players...but as long as you can install it as much as you want on the same PC this problem will persist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drivetheory 10 Posted August 16, 2011 why wouldn't IPv6 be viable? the ISP will assign their modem an IPv6 address, and their computers an IPv6 address with a network prefix designated by their cable modem so wouldn't they have to change/spoof the mac address of their cable modem to change their specific network prefix?

I'd rather play with 4 people that don't script kiddie it up over 24 players in which the chance of one being a kiddie is rather high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.da.Trademark 10 Posted September 20, 2011 We ran a server on the free side and it was retarded. Our ban list grew, and grew, and grew, and then we realized... what a waste of time and resources. I will never play vanilla again because of this. I hope A3 has a more effective means of countering all the idiocy but I am sure it wont because of the nature of Arma.... its customizable. This opens the door for all of the lil kids with mental issues. Then again, we can just privatize our servers, hehehe. FUN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
