Perhaps hacking is being taken more seriously, or maybe earlier hacks were patched out/ caught via the Warden, but we know that plenty of people out there are going to say "Challenge accepted." The title should absolutely be changed to something more realistic. | ||

I'm completely unconvinced maphacking has been removed as a possibility, but I also know that it is possible to prevent it utterly. They just may not want to take the current measures that it requires. | ||

It should comes from the policies and the way they handle the hackers. Even just having a feedback from the report button (player x repported xx/xx/xx was banned today) or a simple invoice acknowledgement on their hack email would help not feeling helpless. Yeah, I personally fear that the "big change" will probably be figured out relatively soon, too. I mean, the hacking community has quite the (criminal) energy to get these things done and unless Blizzard completely changed the codebase I don't see how things can be too different since the problems lie in the lockstep simulation. | ||

If it takes them 6 months of work now to hack it again, then Blizzard can just change one thing and it takes another 6 months,... Then they're probably just going to say "Fuck, this is not worth it". Only paid hacks would exist. And then it's a question of "are people willing to pay enough for this?". That being said, this is assuming that Blizzard really did find a good way to solve this problem. Its probably rather going to take about half an hour. The hack will still work just the same way, the only things that need changing are a few numbers. | ||

If you have the game on your disc, if you can play it, you have all the data. And that is all you need, the data. The hack is just something to show it to you, but the data is completely open. Thats how computers work. Blizzard can not protect YOUR memory from yourself. | ||

I mean, I guess that would be ok if we had a few more hackers actually step up. Hell every UI change has screwed with hacks since values were being incorrectly read from the wrong location and took a good few weeks before they were back. I don't think I've ever heard the validity of someone's argument be questioned through the number of Twitter followers he has before. | ||

Everyone gets a tiny patch each week and the hacks get knocked back to square one. This is what I had proposed in an earlier thread about this topic and I think it could work well if the refactoring is truly random and can not be predicted. | ||
