But, what I am trying to say is. I am just so tired of all the hackers. I usually take a stand against some. But now it is to the point where I just expect one of my ally or opponents to multi or maphack. Almost impossible to get a clean game going??
It is just insane, it was not as bad 6 months ago.
Has anyone heard anything from blizzard regarding Broodwar East Servers. Or, is there a way I can report the hackers?
I keep a list of names I have written down on a notebook and replays as proof.
blizzard hasn't really enforced anything on useast for broodwar since probably 2001. Even when the ladder was still active people hacked it and blizz didn't do anything. Sadly there's no way to deal with it other than use anti hacks or finding a circle of friends who you can trust and don't play public games.
I wouldn't count on Blizzard to do anything that concerns BW from now on... Just play normal maps on iccup/fish? Fastest is crap anyway. If you really want to play money, I'm not sure but I think some koreans might play it on fish (not fastest, but some different money map).
I think there are occasional fastest map games on iCCup if you wanna try that out. There are also most definitely BGH games on iCCup too. I don't know if it's fullproof, but the iCCup anti-hack has to be significantly better than US East's 0 measures against hacking.
They won't do anything about hackers. I remember I would even try reporting the popular hackers to blizzard and the hackers were still hosting games weeks/months later.
Also I remember I tried a korean hack detector years ago which gave a message at the start of each game. Is that the same one in your videos? Does it tell you when it detects multicommand? I stopped using that one because it was too sensitive. It often alerts of multicommand at the start of games meanwhile it's just the b.net lag at the start. Players select all 4 workers and makes a worker from their main right when the game lags (it freezes for .5 seconds or so) and the antihack thinks it's a multicommand/automine. It gives a lot of false readings. I think I used a combination of advloader and chaoslauncher. I used chaos as my primary loader and took some plugins from adv lol.
FMP is more balanced on vanilla SC too. FMP dominated east and west on original. There are less players to play against compared to BW but you will actually come across better games on original. Any top tier FMP player would agree with that. I haven't player SC in years so I'm sure the FMP community has nearly died out but give original a shot and see how it is. You might come across less hackers. You can also try switching between east and west. The latency difference is almost nonexistent.

This is good advice. Could also try a korean server like Fish? I don't know if they play fastest over there... or if you'd mind the language barrier though.

I think there is a lot more hackers in these FMP games, if you really want to rid yourself of hackers you should try to lean more towards non money maps, once you get a grip on how it is played it is more enjoyable as well. Also no offense to you or anyone that likes FMP, but it isn't how StarCraft was made to be played, I don't even consider it real starcraft.
I really love the advice and love you guys give. Is there ANY way or hotline...I could call or contact to get rid of these hackers. I WILL make it my own personal holy war to get rid of them. If there is a will there is a way.... Someone much wiser than me said that.

In sc1 the top level of FMP was pretty competitive and very difficult to learn. There is only 1 map to play on and after like 8 years or so it still had better players entering the community. I completely agree with you that it was not how sc was meant to be played and that the top players on FMP don't even compare to the top bw players, but it didn't break the game in the sense where it was no longer considered real starcraft. FMP did have unlimited resources but the build times, units, and rate of income remained the same. It has 50 mineral patches right next to the main but that just means 1 scv is required per mineral patch. There are probably less workers mining in a top tier FMP game than workers mining in a SC2 game. I'm not trying to argue which is superior, just trying to say that FMP isn't as bad as most people probably imagine it to be. The biggest difference between is securing addition resources and transferring workers. Also players like Stalife and Hashe came directly from FMP, as did Team Vile.

Is there a way to report hackers. This is my main question now, I REALLY will go the full effort in creating petitions or speaking with someone on the phone. Some people don't understand...I will PAY money to create a effort to stop bw hacking. Help me help you plz
Fastest might be somewhat okay if it were not for the fact that all of your workers are retardedly stacked up in one place. This totally discourages offensive play, since you need to make such an effort to prevent a storm/scarab/etc from going off on your workers. Also no one cares that good players came from fastest.. The fact that they switched only goes to show that they realized low-money is by far better.
