I see a clear silence from them on the hacking threads. You can see they read and communicate with pretty much any other thread but mention a flying guy or a dissapearing orb and you wont get any word from them. They actually banned some people for talking about it so yes, they read them.

I certainly do not like the way they are ignoring this.

And its fine to ban hackers but after the damage is done, the damage is done. So the question anet is: I know you are banning hackers, but will you do something against hacking itself? Can you make it a bit more harder for people to hack?

I see several reports, specially about GoM server. You have pictures, videos, etc. Im pretty sure you banned that guy already. But you leave the points and the orb where the hacker left them. Why not resseting the points when you notice a hacker?

If a hacker can damage the game is irrelevant if its banned or not because the damage was done already. Sure, you ban it, but it will come another one and the next week wvwvw will be ruined. And the week after that week.

Banning people is not the root of the issue, the issue are some stuff like speed being calculated client side. And those are the obvious ones. Who knows what other more subtle hacks are happening? For example is someone boosts their speed 33% you wont notice it. You could think its just a trait or something. But that boost is enough to disrupt the game.

Reporting and banning wont take us anywhere. We need direct action on the hacking issue and repairs to the damage done. If someone steals the orb with a hack, deduct points or something.

I like to think they’re doing all they can and when they know all about it, they strike. Giving warning to the program makers will just give THEM time to adjust everything. But I cannot say for sure …

Basically they’re saying, report them if you see them. ANet cannot stop it, at least not now. If they could stop orb hacking altogether then they could stop 90% of botting, which they can’t stop, at last not at the moment.

I see theiy are reporting and banning. Wich is fine. But the damage is done and I see no intention of Anet of repairing it. Right now Wvwwvw is not playable with so many hacks. They should attack the root. And they sure should communicate to us what they are doing or thinking instead of leaving us in the dark. Because its disrupting everyone´s experience and making the people not wanting to play.
