This is my main question now, I REALLY will go the full effort in creating petitions or speaking with someone on the phone. Some people don't understand...I will PAY money to create a effort to stop bw hacking. Help me help you plz I don't think you understand. Blizzard isn't going to do shit. Petitioning or throwing money at them won't help either. They simply don't want to be bothered with BW. | ||

This totally discourages offensive play, since you need to make such an effort to prevent a storm/scarab/etc from going off on your workers. Also no one cares that good players came from fastest.. The fact that they switched only goes to show that they realized low-money is by far better. Yep. As I said I wasn't arguing which one was better. Just saying it's not as bad as people think. I remember situations in TvP where protoss made cannons at his choke so he can make 2 nexus while teching to drop to do what you mentioned. I made another cc when seeing the cannons and knew he wouldn't play offensive. Then used the cc for scanner (since you can't attach one to the main) and then scanned and knew he was teching. Then I got upgrades while making a turret ring around my base and marines from barracks. He lost his shuttle, while I had an upgrade advantage. The whole game he kept calling me a hacker because I knew he would drop and got turrets up in time. There is also a trick where you hotkey workers and hotkey a screen location to another base that has vision of geysers/mins, and then send all your workers there as the drop is coming. This allows all workers to move like a train and stacked. So drops aren't as strong as long as you're aware of the minimap. But yeah you're 100% correct. I just think that on SC1 original FMP isn't as bad as people imagine it to be. - and I agree with everyone else. Get the idea out of your head about banning hackers. If we couldn't do it as a group before sc2 came out what makes you think you can do it all by yourself now? lol. It's just the way it's always been. Deal with it or play somewhere else. | ||

There's considerable precedent for everyone to believe that Blizzard won't do jack about people hacking BW on BNet. They have no incentive to do so. | ||

Forum post/evidence just use wlauncher O_O it detects hacks.. and blizzard really isnt gonna do anything i got ip banned from west once while playing d2 single player with a runeword mod and i called blizzard they said they have this automated banning thing that bans you if some kind of hack is detected. they wont go out of their way to put in manpower for the purpose of removing hackers... what your saying is kindve silly... just use the launcher.. if it detects hackers and you dont want to play then leave. east does have alot of hackers but ive played a bunch of games where there werent any. | ||

The game is starcraft and the people are the players. The cheaters are the hackers. The ideal way of this problem to get solved is for everyone to complain and for the owners (blizzard) do something about it. We tried this and it did not turn out how you think it would turn out. Proof of this is the removal of SC1 ladder system. There was a ladder button you could press that was among join and create, this button showed the top 1000 players on the ladder. When you pressed this button it showed people with 9999 ratings, 100000 wins and 0 loses. Winbot killed ladder. You would think blizzard would step in and fix this right? Nope. They just removed the ladder. People just went on to make their own leagues and ladders such as scd, vgt, Iccup, fish, etc. People played games and reported on websites to update the website ladders and if anyone was suspected of hacking the replays were sent in to be observed by a group of people. If enough evidence was gathered then that hacker was banned. Blizzard had no involvement with these people. Blizzard did not even patch the game for years and years. Fast forward to today The streets are no longer busy and the stadiums are nearly empty. Nearly no one trains anymore and the competition is no longer as strong. The creators of this game now moved onto its next game. Now some new people get involved in this old game and they don't like the cheaters. They raise their voice to argue against the cheaters but nothing happens. The owners do nothing. Everyone looks at this guy, this guy who has hope, but he was not around when it were thousands just like him, and those thousands got the same empty answer. conclusion Blizzard won't do anything. Even if you did manage to get a hacker banned, they will most likely just come back on with another cdkey or account. Alot of times hackers wouldn't even get banned, they would just get their keys muted. So the ideal vision you have right now is practically not even a possibility. Blizzard didn't even do anything when 90% of their ladder had hackers. Why would they step in now that it doesn't even matter anymore? It's a fruitless effort if you're putting it all towards b.net and Blizzard. | ||

Also no offense to you or anyone that likes FMP, but it isn't how StarCraft was made to be played, I don't even consider it real starcraft. The Iccup admin crew has always let players hack in 3x3, FFA, UMS, BGH and Fastest games. To quote a former admin (diamond) "we just don't care lol". I'm pretty sure things have not changed. | ||

if you want to play competitively go play scd. by competitively i mean go there if you want to actually learn how to play FPM. just don't get disheartened when you get thrashed 0-10 by D players. if you want some inhouse 1v1s (with less probability of drawing hackers) go to channel "as" on east server. most are noobs but there are many legit players there who would most likely beat you. if you want to keep pubbing, you run the high risk of facing hackers. been like that for years. can't speak for the fourth option people are talking about (ICCUP) since i haven't played it. gl hf | ||

Haven't seen any hackers, or maybe the hacks don't help them enough. | ||

If you really want to play money, I'm not sure but I think some koreans might play it on fish (not fastest, but some different money map). I see koreans playing money maps in pc bangs all the time. There is a community for it, presumably mostly hacker free. | ||
