Speed hackers should be IP banned rather then account banned.

    I would like to say that this should not apply to gold status accounts because I once got banned for hacking on a gold account and got it banned (when I feel that I shouldn't have) and I bought a new gold account and I have never even thought about hacking since that day. If I found out that I could never play KAG at my house again I would be just completely devastated!

    We do ban serious offenders by IP but they are usually using proxies and it's hard to block all of these without blocking whole Internet.

    Yes maybe gold accounts no. If they insist on throwing their money at Geti, why stop them. :d

    NO.
    If you're banned, you're banned.

    Imagine if a guard is banned for hacking...

    I do not think any exception would be made with guards. In fact I would say we are even more strict here since guards should act and behave as a shining example. (Metaphorically speaking.) So if we would catch a hacks-using guard I pretty much doubt that he/she would get his/her guard status back somehow.

    Like Furai said, they can use proxies, or have a dynamic IP (like me). Many Internet providers use dynamic IPs, and there is nothing to do against this.

    Oh you silly shit. You need to start paying attention to Terms Of Service and the fine print. Quit just pressing BUY! and think you can get away with it.

    Personally, I always enjoy fighting someone who is speed hacking.

    Because it's just so god damn funny when they rage quit after discovering that they can't win against me even by cheating.

    IP bans are ineffective. So easy to get around such "bans". :B):

    Speed hackers are IP banned, if they are in a server at the time of the ban, although, proxies are a major problem.

    Wouldn't it be possibl for the develepors to add a security system that identifies each computer kag is installed on. So they can ban the computer rather then IP?

    It's called hardware IDs and it is possible but hard to implement in reliable way - which means it takes a lot of time and testing.

    Couldn't kag just have a encrypted. Txt file that only kag could read be used to identify each PC?

    I disagree completely.

    Have you ever been to a website and it informs you that your ip is banned, even if you haven't been there before? that's because some people share the same ip, so banning 1 ip could really ban 2 or 3 people. IP ban should be a last resort imo.

    We'll have much less trouble with hackers in the new build i think, since you'll need a gold account to play at all.

    Play kag with a crappy GPU/HDD/RAM/CPU, when banned, switch things around a bit.
    I heard that formatting ( C: ) also works.
