So then why does like every wiki and forum in existence have IP bans... because they stay the same long enough.

Anyways, what about like an LSO banning system so it checks on your system if it is marked to be banned. Someone who knew how could easily bypass it, but the majority of people wouldn't be smart enough to do that.

IP changing depends on internet provider, I have static IP for months (or even years), my friend has different IP every day

Pretty much this. I use about 6 different computers to get on this site, and I change the IP address of my laptop regularly.

Many Internet providers still offer a static IP. This is not uncommon... it just is for typical home Internet usage to have dynamic. At my office I have a static IP... and this is often used for hosting purposes (you have a server at your location), as if you have a dynamic IP (which can range greatly in the timeline in which you get a new IP (from days, to weeks, to months)), you'd have to use a dynamic DNS system (like dyndns.org) to update domain A records. Whereas with static, your domains point to the same IP always. This makes your domain access more reliable as DNS tables for your records don't change.

Thanks a lot for all of these, but that's irrelevant here.

Sure you can pay to have a static IP, and all servers have one, and... But we're talking about regular player of VW, and I'd say that less than 5% of them have a static one, because they play at work/university.

The point is that banning IP is inefficient or worse.

Sure, that is true.

But I was merely commenting on your comment:

This is not true, period.
