The thing with hackers.. It turns people off when they know its heavily hacked. We had people in the chat saying they wont touch the game now because of the heavy hacking... No wonder we have so little player pop..

the population is bad because of shit gameplay, hackers don't do nearly as much as bad design does to harm the game.

Gameplay is much better then other modern shooters out there.

Ohh your PG.. lol

Yeah I saw that on Kudochop's channel this morning, epic cast! the only way he was able to kill him was to spawn a scatmax lol can't wait for the montage tomorrow and really hope SOE see's it, because it's truly embarrassing for them that it went on for that long. It's so mind boggling SOE doesn't have some kind of coding or programming that auto detects big red flags like an enemy killing you in a spawn room continuously for hours, even once or twice should be enough to get a mods attention. Major kudo's, pun intended, to Kudochop for not losing his cool and sacrificing himself for that many hours in order to spotlight just how bad SOE currently is at detecting these losers. I seriosuly hope they get their act together, because I love this game with a passion and would hate to see it die due to rampant hacking.

Problem is unless they're doing something like hardware ID bans then it doesn't really matter. They'll just keep coming back. It's F2P after all.
