minus-squarejustJanne@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-25 months ago Note what other people in this thread are saying. Sorry, but being a developer I can tell when players are just repeating half-truths they read online. There’s no reason why strategies that work in any other kind of computer science shouldn’t work in gaming. In fact, it sounds like you think a ‘ban’ is something bad to these players or will stop them. If it did, I’d probably be enjoying Rust still. The difference between an attack costing $0.00 and $$0.01 is enough to reduce attack volume by orders of magnitude. Even just costing the attacker 30 seconds is enough to have a massive effect, which is why captchas exist. Game keys tend to be in the $1 - $5 range, which makes bans an extremely useful tool.
