How many games did you play? Maybe you were unlucky...
in $$$ games usually at least 1 person is hacking... it has been so since like 2004 and probably before too.

Back when I was a noob there was the mentality that if everyone is hacking, I obviously have to hack in order to keep the balance. So I used maphack for a while. Then once I started getting competitive and playing with friends who I knew didn't hack I turned them off. I'm sure this still plays a big role in people choosing to hack.

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.

If the person drops, your ally gets dropped or you get dropped without the countdown, then it's fairly certain it's a hack. I don't consider nubs pulling their router cables hacking...just immature.

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.

Yeah, I think there is. :X

Last night I played more than a dozen...probably close to twenty games...and I played like literally four that didn't have blatant hackers in it.

That's seriously unfortunate. That thought crossed my mind too, last night, as I was sooo fucking frustrated...

I DL'd BWHF instead, though...(:

the simplest solution is playing on iccup, especially if you can host your own games
there are $$$ games from time to time too

First, I have to say that if what you say is true, then it seems like West is worse than East now. I've recently been playing a little on East for fun and it's not that common that I see someone that I know definitively is hacking. My proxies and hidden expos are rarely scouted or attacked before I manage to get them defended and my opponents often get caught blind sided by this little thing called macro.

I do, however, get accused of hacking a lot. A number of times I've had spider mines see my opponents make a move and I get called a hacker for responding to it. So... are you really sure that you are accusing everyone fairly?

By the way... what the fuck does APM have to do with hacking? -_-;;

That night was an especially bad night. Since then it has returned to normal. I may have misjudged some of them, but that's likely only a couple games out of the many I played that night...like between 12 and 20, I don't remember. I know for a fact there were hacks being used on at least more than half of them.

I get accused of hacking now and then too...usually for multicommand or maphax. 50APM FMP players don't know what hotkeys are and can't fathom that we use observers or scans. -____-;;

And do you know what multicommand hack is? It's the one that allows them to command more than 12 units at a time. When you use that hack, your action count shoots up enormously. When you check the replay afterwards and see some guy who was playing with 50APM at the start suddenly shoot up to 300 or 600APM, then it's a clear sign they're using multicommand. Even progamers generally only peak that high for short periods of time. They generally don't STAY up past 500APM. -__________-;;

I'll look for a replay...
