How to prevent Planetside 2 HWID ban. And get around HWID ban

[oneye123456]

hey guys. This is my first MPGH post. I know it sucks. lets begin

OK lets start. when you downloaded planet side 2, it will ask you to grant them your network permission from your firewall. so Planetside 2 can track your HWID (Hardware ID) and can ban it if you get ban. When they ask you this, uncheck the box and click cancel. This prevents them from ever HWID ban you (and since they don't IP ban. i guess this is a win win ).

Or you can change it here if you already installed Planetside 2. Control Panel > System Security > windows Firewall > Allow an app or feature through firewall > ChangeSetting > Scroll down to Planetside 2 and Uncheck public, leave private Checked

The permission should look similar to the picture below

Now inorder to get around HWID. you don't have to get a new hardware or stuff. Just install a new window or format your computer. I Know it sucks but that is the only easiest free way to do it. i don't know any other way.

*this works*
I got ban 5 times by SoE and I can still play.

Now you guys have nothing to worry about. if you get ban . make a new account. Because... Pretend you play a account (mule) and you got ban on that. and if you log into your main account. it automatic bans that account because SoE bans your HWID. and No matter what you do, you will be screwed.
So this Prevents it.

And now we can laugh at SoE's face muhahahahaha
I hope you guys enjoy this torturial. My first post in MPGH haha.

Well all you have to do is format it once. then Click cancel, and don't let Planetside 2 go through your firewall, to use your network.
Just 1 format

Odd, I dont see PS2 on the list. Its in alphabetical order, and ther's nothing where it should be.
Any additional information/ways?
and I'll look into changing HWID's as mostly anything on a computer can be changed :P

[Mrpivot]

Still nice, thanks for this. Trying NOT to get banned by playing fair is the best way still :P

There is an easy way without a reformat to change your HWID.. Google is your friend.

Also, if you haven't been banned yet but you block PS2 in your firewall and then get banned, will it still have my HWID?

well, you can do this. So you can be secure, even if you get a false ban, (Might happen), this will prevent them from Banning your HWID. There is no harm in this, it only helps.
