If we continue to report rulebreakers on the server, eventually they will get rare and more bearable for players. Though not requiring Xbox accounts does make it easier to make another account and bypass, I've done large group hacker hunts in the past, and out of the long list of IGNs I have, very few of them I see actually come back, and those that do are quickly banned again.
Xbox accounts are required for pretty much every server in MC, and they have plenty of hackers, and even some aren't as responsive and motivated to ban them like our Brokenlens staff.
It's my belief that players can pitch in and help report the hackers, and I've seen massive improvements in just the past few months. We're on the right track.
