Device ID has been removed from Console in Discord/DayZ++ As an admin on a community server I’m super bummed.

As the title states - I had a kid on my server tonight shooting everyone in our designated SafeZone and when I tried to look him up by device ID I got this message. I’m sure people who play on community servers know, sometimes you’ll get individuals just hell bent on being horrible and disruptive. Being able to look them up by device to see their alt accounts can be helpful to monitor what’s going on and who’s playing in the server. In extreme cases it’s helpful to be able to device ban someone from the server temporarily. It helps us maintain a certain level of gameplay for our server players that minimizes things like glitching, skywalkjng, being able to lag and freeze other players consoles. I feel like it’s a big step back.

I’m curious to know why they made this decision. Does anyone know? I did read the statement from the devs in the link, but I really feel like It’s going to make it harder to admin and keep things running smoothly.

We have a really solid admin team and want to create a fun experience for people who visit us and play. I know it’s just a game but I feel a little defeated by this update.
