They've done MAC address bans before and it's really the most effective way of dealing with this. If they did this each time there was an exploit to EVERYONE and not just a select few, you could be darn certain the general public would think twice before touching hacks.
What happened during the mesos exploit last fall was more or less any account he exploiter logged in prior to the exploit got owned, even if they logged in just once under the same computer. If they continued doing this, then you weed out all the leechers and leave only the actual hardcore hackers, which is fine by me, cause you probably won't get rid of them anyway.
They did similar bans for dupings recently, so I know they try, just people aren't always aware.
