For people who play on bnet a lot...has anyone noticed a LOT more hacks going 'round than before? Like a ridiculous increase?

Like more than 3/4s of the games I played tonight, be they FMPs, BGHs, Pythons or random old blizz maps, some fucker was blatantly hacking.

I mean...before, like you'd run into someone very subtly maphacking or some shit every now and then, but tonight it was absolutely ridiculous...every other fucking game there was a multiselect hacker with APM in the 600s, rushes with no scouts, drops every fucking game, etc...

What the fuck happened to bnet?

EDIT
I play on west, btw...

When there's no more room for serious professional gaming on iccup, the dumb will walk the battle.net.

Bnet, or at least East, has always been heavily infested with hackers, nothing new here.

What's wrong with playing SC for fun?

Yeah exactly, I love going on bnet for the play/obs games and generally just owning the BM newbs that think they're the shit that dwell within Clan X17.

What can you do? I mean, I hate hackers as much as the next guy. But without anti-hack or any dedicated Blizz intervention, and with hacks so freely available, there's bound to be rampant cheating.

Just play games for fun and move on with your life. Or play UMS ^^

It's the same on Europe, hackers whereever you look.

Just stick to Iccup, public servers ain't worth it anymore.

I play games for fun, but it's frustrating as hell when you get beaten by a 4 pooling maphacking asshat with 25APM, or you rush only to find they've suddenly, mysteriously and without any discernible provocation added a dozen cannons or sunks or that one clutch turret to block your lurkers or DTs or some shit, or...god...it goes on and on.

The thing that's rankling me the most right now is the multi-select hack...I got owned by early mass lings because of that shit three games in a fucking row...it's just...ugh.

I hope Blizz does a mass ban soon like they did for D2.

LOL GOD I WISH I SAVED THE REPLAY FOR THIS ONE...FUCK.

1v1 python...him Z, me P. I start at 7, he's at close position at 9.

I go to lay down pylon in nat, then I send probe to scout close position first...luckily, where he is. Suddenly I get an angry message from my opponent, "CHEATER!"

I scout him 4 pooling.

I immediately put down a pylon by my nex and pray my forge finishes on time...I get cannon down in mineral line, then hug it with probes. Cannon finishes.

He calls me a hacker and drops.

Its a sad state of affairs, yes, it seems every game has hackers in it.

I would love to see a massive wave of permanent bans. It would be GREAT timing to do it before sc2 - to really send the right message.

Sounds like west is trying to one-up east. Not on my watch.

Lulz at Scout.
Just play UMS on bnet. also, hackers tend to have discs but at a time like this where everyone is discing, its hard to tell if they are hackers or not.

Peanuts.

Is there a hack to read your opponents /f m's? I swear i was playing 3v3 bgh with some friends and i messaged them to ban this one guy because i suspected him of hacking and ingame he asked "Why?". He didn't ban him and we ended up losing because he drop hacked one of us.
