IP address is typically static and assigned by your ISP. Banning by IP is effective up until a proxy is used. Mac addresses are attached to network interfaces and can be changed.

Both of these methods are far more effective than banning by account. This is a fact. YES people can get around it, but it is a serious inconvenience for your average joe who just wants to scam and cheat their way through EQ

Depending on your provider, you can just unplug your modem and when you plug it back in you get assigned a new IP. If someone wants to find a way, with a proxy or whatever its much easier then even finding like a cheat program or whatever people use.
