The problem is that reporting him won't actually help anything unless Blizzard starts to take action on investigating reported hackers. I sent them a report on a guy I know personally that was using a maphack back in BETA and he wasn't banned until the first wave of bans that occurred after the game was officially released. | ||

Nothing stops them from downloading it and fiding a way to fix it or find a way to caugh people that are using it. Guess there will always be hackers, no matter what you do. It's kind of sad if you think about it. I doubt Blizzard are that ignorant of such hacks. As we know, bans come in waves and they are probably trying to fix it right now, it just takes some time perhaps? | ||

Why should we have to endure people that hacks for like 2-3 months before they finnally get banned. If I steal a car I will get arrested as soon as the police finds evidence that it was i that stole the car, not afther 3 months when they decide that it is time to arrest everyone that commit in crime in the past 6 months. | ||

Mafia almost succeeded in misguiding several Greens and Blues but clearly not enough. Either way, my best guesses: iGware - Godfather Sorcery - Mafia VertigoX23 - Mafia(?) Greenworld - Mafia(?) Liquid`Nazgul - Mayor Liquid`Ret - Bodyguard Liquid`HuK - Bodyguard bLuR - Veteran drewbie.root - Veteran CatZ.root - Veteran PinkPrincess - Medic(?) Everyone else - Vanilla  In all seriousness, however good it is for the community to be able to thwart cheaters like this, I'd recommend caution to everyone who feels the need to express themselves so caustically, regardless of which 'side' they're representing. A vast majority of the posts in this thread seem unnecessary and many don't move the discussion forward in either direction - be it a lynch or a save. (In fact, more than one person who was correct about iGware has embarrassed themselves through their behaviour in this thread.) Actually, I'm fairly sure it ended in a lyncher win for ProTech, get your facts straight  I would have listed PinkPrincess as a traitor... if they were a medic, though, definitely a VI In all seriousness, though, this doesn't surprise me. Ret's post was where I decided "this guy is definitely hacking", for the record. Sending a probe to scout an overlord you should have known you could see is like wtf. NOONE QUOTED IT either, and PinkPrincess + Show Spoiler + (who would make that name as a guy... serious problem there, but that can be addressed personally) Considering PinkPrincess said if the guy was caught hacking, you could ban him, I would honestly support a 2 day ban for him. This is sad to see because I hadn't really associated SC2 with hacking, and having played on USEast in BW more than any other server, it was sort of refreshing. I guess I was naive. | ||

It's not about stopping the hacks, it's about perception. It impresses more people when Blizzard is able to say "We banned over 9000 accounts this month that we caught hacking." instead of quietly staying on top of the problem. I think that Blizzard believes that making grand announcements will scare more people into avoiding the use of hacks in the first place, when really, the best defense against hacks is a quick response before it gets out of hand. | ||

Actually knowing a little about steroids it would not surprise me if the majority of baseball players did a cycle of growth hormones a few years before they went pro. I don't know any baseball players but I do know a lot of hockey players and the majority of them did that in high school. They are completely undetectable a year or so after the fact and you only need to use them once. The public just has this preconception that their sports heroes are all clean and pure and they freak out when the blatantly obvious is publicly revealed. I would say you would be hard pressed to find more then 1 in 10 pro athletes that hasn't juiced at some point in their lives. | ||

You can prevent people from cheating in the first place if the first 10 people caught using the hack are banned immediately and cause the creator of the program to go back to the drawing board. It's great that Blizzard waits in order to catch all the people that WANT to hack (and who eventually do once they think they've found an undetectable program), but I would personally prefer that they never get the chance to use that program to begin with. | ||

Well, maybe that 50 out of those 100 hackers were told by others hackers that it was safe since they weren't banned. Wich is obviously not true. | ||

I don't think it's necessarily about perception ... because you can always ban in smaller waves and just announce after 6 months ... "we've banned over 9000 accounts". You can still do things incrementally and then announce after a certain period of time that you've banned a certain impressive number of accounts. | ||
