2 years. You've barely made any posts too.
Not calling you a liar but this story doesn't sound right.


I post when I sell and that's about it, I only play PoE every other league. Not to mention, 2018 to nearly 2021 is years, would you prefer I had said months? No idea what you're getting at, your statement is a little ridiculous.

hardware pieces have IMEI numbers, it's possible that GGG keps track of them and uses them to catch repeat offenders. officially you are allowed to make another account if you are banned, but you might be on a special list with strict scrutiny.
i don't know if GGG actually does any of that but it's technically possible.

can confirm, i cant post on the ggg forums with any account and i have like 4-5 :mellow:

also @OP: message support, play dumb, stuff like "i literally had to google what jsp is" or "maybe the other guy was using it" will do, or if you are a daring one try with "what, everyone with more than 100 exalts is a criminal now? i demand explanation" :mellow:

Is it so unbelievable that a gaming company tracks some kind of unique identifier on your computer?

To me, I always assume that that's the very least these companies do considering how important big data is. Just look at your panopticlick browser fingerprint, and thats with just your browser.
If GGG wanted to, they would be able to ban 90-95% of jspers with certainty. If you don't believe me, then look up what happened on the MTG forums here with mtgo tix.

Unless you are 28 years or older who has tracked how widely data monitoring has gotten in the past decade, have extensive experience with big data and/or know how digital companies operate, you should not be speaking with any degree of certainty.

Companies track this mostly only in FPS games, as a way to stop a majority of ignorant cheaters, and most of the time, it is the ANTICHEAT that hwid bans, IE battleye bans you globally that has nothing to do with the developer, and the information isn't even relayed to the dev.

Sometimes there is in-house tracking, but this is for big companies for one, and two, even big bot farms aren't getting hwid banned, so if they are for whatever reason tracking it, they aren't using the information at all.

Considering they don't hwid ban, and never have, I can say with certainty they aren't doing anything with the data they have IF they even track it (small indie company btw), so fuck off with your "unless you're" bullshit, thanks.
