Does /Appeal even do anything anymore though? I mean, is SOE really putting enough resources towards supporting the current game to deal with these cheaters?

I'm not being combative, I'm genuinely curious. I kinda figured SOE was giving Planetside just enough money to keep the servers up.

I don't honestly know. Online games usually have some sort of online in-game support. Cheaters are bad for business, even when that business is miniscule. I think SOE's CSRs are multi-game: supporting all of the games. When I worked CS, I supported four different games at one time.

Ah, ok. That would make alot more sense. It's hard for me to imagine Sony having much expense cost in Planetside right now, but I didn't think about CSR's working on multiple games. Shows you how much I know about the industry lol

When I recorded FreeSample radar hacking, I appealed and waited for 1 whole week before posting that video publicly. He didn't get banned or suspended, and he was radar hacking the whole time. In fact, they actually allowed him to rename his character (which is now Billbates40)

Aye, I stopped playing because of the hackers too. Its really easy to tell when you square off with an MCG and you have an MCG, you are dead before you get 10 bullets out and he hasn't missed once, him on the other hand.... hes got more than half health / armor.

My outfit has apparently taken to the strategy of mass-appealling the obvious cheaters they see at the end of the night. It appears to be working.
