  NO ONE has banned Steven from the forum. As for banning his google ip. I wouldn't even know if such a thing were possible, let alone have the access and knowledge to actually do it.

   I’m also curious how they plan to monitor server events with drops. Could this lead to bans for players trying to maximize drops? Transparency in their rules and enforcement would go a long way in addressing these questions.

  Maybe the community should take an active role in policing these events. If we notice people using multiple accounts unfairly, we could report them to ensure a level playing field for everyone.

  Simply putting everything a RMT seller might sell in the uo store would both rid us of bots and make the game money

     Dude thinks they banned his IP because he has trouble logging into the forum.  WE all have to log in 50 times for it to stick. 

  
  I haven't had to log in more than once a day for quite some time. Y'all still having that issue? 

  I use my PC, phone and tablet.  I would not be able to tell how many hours each stays on.  I don't recall having to log in twice a day on a device, but I could be wrong.

  Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

  If you knew.. 
  Gonna be in my expose video; chapter the Yew gate affiliates.
  
  Meanwhile it won't address the cheating like frame skipping/speed hacking.. people will still be botting most content like the main events.. it's way cheaper.

  Our reports goes straight into the trash bin when it's about bots.. at best you gonna receive an orange dot 24 hours later telling you, NOTHING.. meanwhile the bots u reported still frame skipping all over the place.

  So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?
