EPT1) Lowering the trust we put in the system
2) Causing losses to random people in the GM and high masters, therefore messing with the point system.

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. That reasoning doesn't work for cases like this. You don't need a warden to see that this guy is using a drop hack. Numerous reports on the same guy about dropping people. Evidences caught on stream. He has an impossible record with all his games being shorter than 2-3 minutes. He has like a million APM according to the replays. It's so blatantly obvious to anyone's eyes. If this guy is banned, the hackers aren't going to think "oh, my drophack must have been detected". To make it worse, he's pulled this same BS 2 months ago with many people reporting him and threads about it being made in TL and the official bnet forums. He is still here, this time actually reaching GM #1. | ||

"3. The ban wave system doesn't work as well for SC2 as it does for WoW. Players have less time and money invested into their accounts than they do in WoW. While the idea is that you can make a big statement and actually catch more people, you're not actually preventing people from cheating. A ban wave comes out every 4 months and SC2 sells for $50 or less right now. That means if you want to continually cheat in SC2, it costs you less per month than a WoW subscription." -- Jujube. | ||

That is, if they start to actually ban people and not suspend them just for the current season (that's what I heard they are actually doing... and yes that sounds like the most stupid joke ever, but apparently it's true). | ||

I dont think you will have to buy all 3 expansions just to play on one of their ladders so it wont cost them more. I think blizz should just put some effort into figuring out these hacks and ban the ones making it high enough to get notice. Anyone 60-0 should be checked then banned simple as that. | ||

Every time a new patch hits , they'll always find a counter to it. It's one of these things that we have to put up with. That's fine, but it's still easily possible to severely limit the hackers. Think of the TL ban list for an analogy  | ||

Thats crazy i wish they were move active on the ban system, maybe they should atleast remove the obvious ones out=/ | ||

I honestly hope the GM ladder gets filled with hackers. The sooner blizzard realized battle net 2.0 is a complete failure the better for the community. | ||

Remember when WGTour got "sponsored" by blizzard? I honestly hope the GM ladder gets filled with hackers. The sooner blizzard realized battle net 2.0 is a complete failure the better for the community. Problem is Bnet 2.0 isn't a failure, it's not Incredible, but it's not a failure. | ||

Remember the custom games fiasco where the "hours played" would loop to zero after reaching 19 hours played due to int overflow? This was a novice mistake, an overlook committed to save memory (don't get me wrong, I appreciate memory use reduction, especially when sc2 has so many memory leaks). Or remember where the ability to warp in immortals was merely dummies out by removing the button, but the mechanism was still there and thus exploited? Bliz hires great programmers, that's for sure. | ||

The problem is it doesn't actually prevent cheating for SC2 the way it does for WoW. If you enjoy cheating in SC2, it'll cost you $50 every 4 months which is less than a WoW subscription. | ||

Isn't this want blizzard wants, since they are essentially having one person pay a shitton for multiple copies of the game? | ||
