If you can weather a couple ladder losses, then you can take Solace in the fact that blizzard probably has their hands on the hack, and will be issuing a wave of bans in a couple of months. in a couple of months. lol | ||

Seems like the thing now, since modern warfare 2 used that same style. Seems like a poor way to handle hacking if you ask me. Look how modern warfare 2 turned out... :/ | ||

Hope Blizzard got this situation under control soon, and may they will do some stronger ban, like perm ban forever or something. Blizzard was too soft on hackers, just ban them for 1 season and let them play again @ season 2 seems to be a big mistake. | ||

They do ban in waves, yes, but they also ban high profile cases immediately. That's proven by cases like PiLLaGe and this EGldra character. | ||

Ban waves are a terrible terrible thing for the active playerbase. Maybe it fits in with blizzards idea of managing things, but spending months on a ladder being dropped isn't fun. The reasoning of "oh this way the hackers wont know what got them banned" is almost categorically bullshit. Almost guarantee that hackers buy an account for a specific hacking spree, they know exactly what they used on which account. Instant bans would make this much more pleasant for the players..b tu maybe people in gold league enjoy it or soemthing? thats usually blizzard logic  edit: high profile or not, drop hacking does not belong on the ladder, and any use of such things should result in instant removal from the active ladder pool... at the very least it cuts down on witchhunts from the playerbase if they know bans are instant. | ||

Drophacking on SC2 NA ladder General Anonymous 06/30/11(Thu)21:38 No.100847407 Is anyone else doing this? Goddamn it's the most fun I've had in SC2 so far. Been streamsniping people all day (not bonjovi). I used to maphack while fun it's still not as delicious as this new drophack <link to hacking site removed> TL/reddit are so fucking pathetic. Also making "pros" rage is hilarious. Found a guy (see quote) bragging about doing this and map hacking later in the thread. Even the average jerk on this board hates the guy posting it, he is getting told though the entire thread. | ||

mostly because the guy is impersonating other people. I know that there're character codes but this is the issue when you allow people to have the same names.... At the very least, the pro players should get unique names or something. | ||

A compromised ladder would be even more problematic for SC2 than for BW, because the SC2 avoided DRM and limited installs, and instead ties CD keys to B.net accounts. If the Blizzard ladder ever dies, byebye all revenue from SC2 sales, ever. | ||
