IP bans are fundementally flawed since you can't assume a static IP in the vast majority of cases anymore, if you rely on an IP blocklist then it's inevitable that you will end up hurting the experience of small amount of unlucky but innocent players. I suppose this might be more of an issue on ipv4 than it could be on ipv6, but really you should always expire IP bans to avoid issues like these, or you want to combine another data point with the IP such as a hardware ID (or a hash of a combination of hardware IDs). Cheaters do know this so even if we could assign everyone a static ipv6 they would likely just disable ipv6 support on their NIC and rely on their ipv4 exit ip. Edit: If you don't think this is an issue I urge you to Google "pokemon go belgium ip ban" for a fun rabbit hole.
