after the experiences in bw and wc3 it really does sound ludicrous to say that blizz is doing everything in their power against hacking

Depending on the nature of the crash.... there might be something wrong with your client, not necessarily a hack (in fact I would lean towards re-installing client if it happened 4 times in a row).


I almost never crash to desktop, like never. I drop a fair bit thats it. Also the players i dropped to were called ACE and DEVIL, Which are known hackers lol.

Anyone that still thinks blizzard cares should know that blizzard have only been handing out bans that last for the extent of the current ladder season. I.e. those "permanent bans" they have been talking about were lifted when season 2 started, and currently banned maphackers will presumably have their accounts back for the third season.

They are extremely lenient, and it's not like they've done a good job with keeping warden up to date either.

#1 in my division: http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2116425/1/ChuckNorris/

account is ~5h old, was 4h when I first saw him. 3min avg gametime is pretty good. Wins in 4-6 sek vs ToD, Lowely and other GMs pretty good too.


but the fact that ChuckNorris 74-0's with random is pretty hilarious^^

If he got banned 1 day after this hacking it still would've been slow response, but this is just... unacceptable and stupid.

I am always amazed how Blizzard manages to show with "little things" how they kinda don't care (by care I mean honest and helpful care) for people who made them all rich.

P.S.
As I understand this guy didn't release this hack publicly so I wouldn't be surprised that he thinks (by some weird logic) he is helping Blizzard.

And at the end of the day he kinda really does, showing them serious vulnerabilities they will patch. I bet there are tons of other smart and skillful people out there who can make this same hack at any moment and release it publicly - imagine ladder when every trollkid has this hack? Not cool. But if he keeps doing this every day Blizzard won't have choice, they will invest time and resources to fix that exploit.

I am not into programming and stuff but maybe he is not banned yet because Blizzard needs more info from his ladder hacking to understand and find fix for it.


Yeah it could be that Blizzard doesn't care about banning hackers...

OR

They want to collect as many accounts and as much information about hacks before they do a massive sweep (which has always been how they ban hackers). Banning this guy and this guy alone will probably A) Cause him to get another account and B) Release his hack to the masses making it 10x harder to control.

If they can figure out a way to preemptively shut it down while collecting a bunch of accounts that are guilty of maphacking/drophacking/whatever, they can blow through and purge the servers in one big burst and force most of the hackers to start from scratch.

Ever since maphack in D2 Blizzard has made giant purges once or twice a year instead of banning hackers as they come up. You can trust that they have their own software as well as the hack report email people use to keep track of offenders.

On an aside, I really hope Blizzard adopts the stance where hacking will cause them to purge your account of all games (i.e. BW/WC3/WoW etc.).
Coming from a WC3 background I'm pretty sure they don't really care about banning hackers.

Well, why deal with hackers when there is rampant portrait farming? That is the true threat to ladder.

Drophack is becoming popular.
This same guy Pillage cost DignitasSelect like 5% drop in win rate.
He's top of NA ladder with 69 wins 0 losses (lol 69, right?).
Blizzard needs to do something about it.
Starcraft is a lifestyle.

This is pretty pathetic, and quite frankly it's infuriating that this is the company we're all dedicated to. Pillage isn't a new cheater that will get swept up in the next ban wave. He's an old cheater who wasn't caught in the last ban wave and right now he's dominating the GM ladders.

Its apparently horribly easy to find too but from what the site says its from they are reporting 1.3.3 has fixed it and thats why you've seen a boom in people trying to abuse it before 1.3.3 though thats just going off what they're saying on the site.

Blizz will probably give him a 3 day suspension and let him keep his ladder stats, since thats exactly what they did to hackers a few weeks ago when they announced another hacker sweep.

yeah . It really is times like these I miss iccup days of banning cheaters insanely fast :D. I am surprised he hasn't been removed from GM or anything -_-.

The fact that Blizzard allowed this guy to get away without a permanent ban makes the GM league a joke, there are probably people who hack every now and then as well. It matters because getting a high ranking here is suppose to mean something for real offline tournaments in the near future I am sure.

There is a tradeoff to banning the hacks immediately. If you wait a little bit, then it basically builds confidence among hacker community that the hack is safe, and blizzard can catch more people who use the hacks when they finally pull the trigger.
