Abusing/exploiting bugs and hacking always hurts the game and its players in some way. You can not, for example, use an exploit to get a leg up in the in-game economy without it ultimately impacting other players negatively. There is no harmless exploiting in MMOs.

Dang it, we should have asked about easy-to-use reporting functionality in the last livestream chat.

As for Aimbot, I can handle those... what I really get sick of is people using lag-switches. I mean, it's bad enough in PvP... but seems so dumb when people use lag-switches in PvE causing everybody else around them to bog into nothingness just so they can have a slightly mild advantage over the server.

I may be wrong here, but I believe lag-switches only work when the player hosting the match uses it. Since I'm expecting pvp and coop to be hosted entirely on Trion's end lag-switches will have no effect in this game.

And yes, an easy to use method for reporting hackers would be greatly appreciated.

*Facepalm* This has been assumed before, and I've heard it from others in other MMOs... the way a lag switch works it doesn't matter if a player is hosting. (Ironically people used to try and say the same to me about Fallen Earth... that worked out swell, lol.)

Operation of a Lag Switch

When the switch is activated, the device is designed to function for a few seconds on a timer, effectively blocking all network traffic between the local game device and the Internet temporarily. Used during gameplay, the device causes the person using a lag switch to appear to opponents as frozen while in fact they are still able to play locally and gain advantages in the game. When the lag switch timer expires, the local game device will resynchronize with the online game that appears to opponents in a sudden burst.

When used in public/PvE settings with several players present... it can tend to lead to bandwidth snowballing which tends to lead to roller-coastering latency spikes (especially in cases where more than one person is using one), which really sucks.

hacks happen but it won't be a majority deal, sucks that people do this crap but it's in every game because there will always be losers who just can't play a game the way its meant to be played. Something we deal with as gamers. It will ruin the occasional round here or there but won't ruin a game. Thats my thoughts anyways.

If they siteban people for triple clicking the ego code input thingy, I imagine they will do the same for confirmed hacking.
