This article went up recently exposing just how widespread the hacking is for this game. While PvE hacks are upsetting I feel PvP hacks are having the most devistating effect on both WvW and sPvP

Do you think ArenaNet should patch these well documented security holes before bringing for pay Tournaments on-line? Or do you feel like occasional hacked PvP matches is the norm. and should be ignored or forgiven by the community?

In regard to the sPvP exploit giving players who utilize it the ability to cheat by always being able to see the location and (presumably) profession of all opposing team members, there is nothing that you can do to protect yourself.

Its up to ArenaNet to make changes to better encrypt data packets and obfuscate the client. Regardless, I feel it’s absolutely their responsibility to protect the integrity of the PvP aspects of the game. Would anyone want to play a game where cheating was rampant and brazen? Only frustration in the defeat and not much pride in the victory.

“If all this wasn’t enough to worry you however, on the 3rd of November the Beta release of an item duplicator, from a prominent and prolific hacker, goes live.

What wonderful news. "

I really didn’t think it was this bad. Nice editorial, very eye opening. Makes me disappointed in ANet a bit.

It’s almost enough to make me cancle my sub

seriously though, I doubt Anet is doing nothing about it and I’m sure they don’t include every back end fix in patch notes. I would like to see them get more agressive.
