That will not solve anything! They'll just create new accounts. The problem is that with so much potential money involved, you actually now have people with coding and scripting talents coming to the fold. Nike is in a position where they can't/won't really do anything. They would need a major server and firewall protection upgrade against all of these scripts and bots. They would also need to do away with the twitter links. All of this adds up to IT money that Nike will not spend. The bottom line is this: this is only a problem to the law abiding buyers who aren't using bots. Nike will still get their money, regardless! We can cry all we want, but in the end, we will just end up looking with we have battered wife syndrome. We'll get mad from these latest "limited" impossible to get release beating, but the charming Nike/JB will just swoop in and bring us flowers and say sorry by making the UNC Xs and Carmine VIs super GRs ( not that I know that will happen, but as of late, that seem to be their MO). We'll then fall right back in love with them, until he gets drunk again come the Holiday and batter us with four of five unobtainable release.
The sooner you guys see the bigger picture, the more at ease you will be. As this point, if you really want some limited shoes, you are better off getting to know a connect/manager/shady seller and slipping them a couple hundred or so to ensure that you are taken care of on big limited releases. Is this shady? Yes! But, if you keep acting like a church mouse in a pit full of snakes, you are done |I .

bans lock your account, cant use the credit card/payment method on NDC anymore, cant ship to that address, make another account under that email, ip is banned, ect... its a hassle and if you dont know how to get around it, aka 95% of the people who hired the bots in the first place, it is effective.That will not solve anything!

Bro, I am not a reseller, but I know a few, this will only be a minor bump in the road. The market is adapting faster then Nike is reacting. They claimed that they had solved the bot issue and would catch them. Ok! For every one they catch, three of four get through.

lol the point is that the bans will make a difference. are they going to solve the problem? no, but did they make a dent and alert to nike the problems more serious than they thought, so theyll change their link algorithm and crack down on letting out early links? yes
