Ok, so awhile ago I asked if it was possible to obtain other players IP Address via custom Warcraft III games and I was told that it is not.
Well, I'm now confused, if this is true then how does programs like BanList obtain them? I'm thinking that what I was told is false, because it doesn't make sense unless Bnet acts as a middle man for the connections between a custom game host and the other players...
you where lied to. Custom games do not involve Battle.Net for the game part. You only report the game was made/results to bnet. Games are hosted Player <-> Player.

I haven't looked into the WAR3 gaming support, but If games are hosted player to player then can't you just cut out the middle man? and not send a report thus still playing a player to player?
if you wanted

Arranged teams games you can get your own teammates IP addresses, custom games you can get anyone's IP addresses, that is all.
