I was frequently running Mad King Clocktower lately (not for bags, just for fun of it and to help out others stuck), and I’ve got this problem: I can see people hacking. It’s not always as obvious as botting, there is no moving patterns – it’s a person using a hacking program, that allows him to teleport anywhere he wants with coordinates. I saw 7-9 people since Act 2 started at Clocktower JP blatantly using hacking software, once a guy even started arguing “I just need achievement and slippers, this is too hard for me to do legal way”; one person in level 1 instanced area skipping everything and getting right to boss encounter. These are obvious hackers, I’m sure there are more of them who act more careful.

Now, on tech side botters and hackers are different breed: you may examine bot behavior over period of time and see same pattern repeating itself, while hacker may not be possible to detect without seeing him in action. My question – are we going to get a “report third-party hacking software usage” that will flag such people any time soon? How far hey should take it so teleporting around becomes an issue on same scale as botting?

Would like to get thread moved if this isn’t a relevant subsection for it.

Last night WvW. Someone teleported into our base took the orb of power and teleported out.

Best! I say…
