This isn't just resetting ladder scores or a temporary WoW suspension. The longer Blizzard waits to do this, the less chargebacks there will be on credit cards, which keeps retailers happy. Good point. It would make the most sense from a business perspective to wait until 30 days (or a bit longer) since most copies were purchased to reduce the amount of refunds they need to process. | ||

Out of all my losses I have never felt like I lost because he was "map hacking" or he knew what I was doing and I have played over 100 games. I honestly don't think I have played a map hacker yet they are out there and there are probably quiet a few but most aren't in the high diamond range more like low diamond. | ||

Stop confusing hacker with cheater. These people are script kiddies. They cheat with programs that someone else developed. You're insulting real hackers whose only goal is to hack the game so they can say that it can be done. | ||

I did some searching but I didn't find anyone banned. And probably best example is drophack which was used so much you would except quick ban but that never happened. Are SC2 Anti-Cheat measures active? You want to know so that you can feel more comfortable trying these hacks out eh? | ||

Dont listen to that anyway, people used to be saying the same stuff in wow and d2 and both times there were plenty of pissed people a few days later. Warden has been active all along tbfh, why wouldnt it be... | ||

Hackers crack for the sake of cracking. If you say it is uncrackable, it will be cracked. There is nothing you can do about it. They don't care about money. Stop confusing hacker with cheater. These people are script kiddies. They cheat with programs that someone else developed. You're insulting real hackers whose only goal is to hack the game so they can say that it can be done. true, we should seperate the two groups, but I'm not sure why I should treat the hackers with more respect... it would be one thing to hack the game for their own enjoyment, then... not share it with a easy to use interface for script kiddies... I don't have an issue with these people. however people who create hacks for other people to use, just for their own ego? Oh you're right I should totally look up and respect them... they are pilars of our community. They get an ego boost and I have to deal with bs from 1000's of idiots that could never have cheated without him. | ||

Maybe some people are getting a bit overzealous with their hackey-senses. 90-95% of all cheating accusation are coming from people who have NO IDEA how hacks in a game like this work, they just read somewhere that omg, theres hax yo. 5-10% are legitimate (probably more like 0.2%, but meh) Go have a look at Psy's latest vid on youtube  | ||

This is actually very uncommon in the security industry, Much like how police departments rarely hire felons. I am not aware of a single legitimate antivirus company that would ever consider hiring any one they knew had intentionally developed and deployed any type of malware. | ||

The CIA hires people like that. Good hackers can be easily hired by the CIA and other government agencies. So why wouldn't Blizzard do something similar? | ||

There are of course very legitimate performance considerations to make about only sending data that is not under fog of war. Hacking sucks but I'd rather deal with it and let the bans roll in than deal with unit pop in with every legitimate match played. | ||
