They also must connect each phone number to a particular account. In this manner, once a bot account is banned, it is going to require a new telephone number to
Maplestory M Mesos generate a new account. Phone numbers, while plentiful, are far less abundant than ip addresses are.
It is trivial to have a new ip address, takes only moments, but getting a new phone number is a lot more work, and capital intensive. This places a massive barrier which only gets more effective over the years (as more and more telephone numbers are obstructed ) against bot accounts. But it does not hamper legitimate players in all (because, frankly, in case you've got a computer which can run MS you have access to a telephone of any kind).
I understand that there are some disadvantages, but I don't believe they're big enough to justify not implementing this method. The biggest drawback I can see is that a bot/meso farmer uses your phone number and has it banned until you try to produce your account. If that's the scenario, there
buy MaplestoryM Mesos might be a rather intensive way to clear a phone number (it might have to be more intensive to be a successful ban).
Either that or you're out of luck, but the odds of that occurring anyway are slim to none to start with. Also, nexonNA could automatically ban phone numbers from all countries outside of the serviced nations, thus making it harder for chinese meso farmers to work (they would require a massive supply of American/canadian telephone numbers and corresponding phones on hand to make additional bots).
