Took them 5 years to put this in WoW for trade chat spam. Was not a problem the first couple of years but it got so bad sometimes once Burning Crusade was out.

why the link to your replay pack Everize?

edit: I'm an asshole, sorry didn't realize you were OP. Thought some random guy dropped a link to his own replay pack in someone else's hack thread. Still OT but sorry for being an asshole.
All hail the Queen!!!

There's a forum post up on one of the biggest sc2 hacking communities today with a pretty known guy talking about how he went crazy with drophacks yesterday on all the ladders. :p They are guest accounts so it doesn't really matter whether you report him or not.

Luckily, the guy isn't going to release it publicly.

BW players will probably recognize the name.

He talks a lot about the method so someone might have replicated it. It's a simple method so meh, I'm fine with people using it against me, getting perm'd and then the method gets patched and it's over with.

edit: assuming blizzard hasn't gone full retard that is, but on the other hand you probably can't expect much when the exact same public maphack remains safe from warden from week 2 of the beta up until now.

From a theoretical prospective, this is a pretty caveman style hack. Considering the power of run time code injection, it should theoretically be possible for an attacker to get your computer to execute arbitrary code through the built in time sync protocol.

And what exactly leads you to that conclusion? Why do we have to "consider the power of run time code injection" ? What you describe would be a horrible security flaw, but I see no reason why it should be possible. I'd wager that all that is happening here is the hack sending lots and lots of fake slowdown messages so your game client craps out. If you have any in depth information on the game's protocols to contradict that, please share it with us.

Faced the same guy last night, same results. Kept getting spammed by that slowing down the game message for around 3 minutes until the game dropped me.

I don't get why anyone would do this,, it serves no purpose.

Sounds like a pretty boring thing to do aswell,,
We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.

I was watching TLO stream last night and this guy was paired up with TLO for two matches straight first one Pillage disconnects, and then the second one there is that spamming of delay of game from pillage.
Just thought this could be used as even further evidence because you can go check his stream ^_^

Interesting hack.

R1CH drops in with the knowledge... I'm a complete beginner in actual design (been coding for a long time by myself and ust started a formal degree at a good uni) but isn't this a really really easy abuse to control? Like as you said a very simple rate limiter?

Well as you can see it doesn't seem to be just a easy-mode hack, probably has to do something with time synchronization, which then would lead to "X is slowing down the game". The interesting thing is how he manages to get more than one "X is slowing down the game" message, as it only should appear once(?).
Also I'm not entirely sure if the OP meant drop because of frame rate slowdown, or because battlenet dropped the client.

Yeah this same guy did it on TLO's stream. Oh and I must add... How bad can you be to still lose a game with this? :p

It would be funny if that is the wrong pillage and blizzard bans him.

He will probably get away with it for another week or so. Blizzard doesn't respond very quickly.

I was in a 4v4 RT game where one guy does nothing but minimap ping grief the entire team all game while idling his base. And he's played over 500 team games where he's done this.

The "report player" feature is worthless and Blizzard doesn't even pay attention to it.

Why would you go around on ladder with guest accounts giving people losses?

......sounds really boring, and just means you're an asshole.

Yeah, I have to agree with everyone saying this doesn't make sense as to why it's appealing to pull off. I hope this gets patched very, very soon.
