You are hands down the perfect example of why abortion will never be banned. 

You remind me of that fat nerdy kid in school with the pocket protector and notepad that I used to beat up every day on the playground.

One thing I will say for C chat on VS is that we defo always advertise the hackers names for appeals - haven't seen much of that on either TR or NC however I don't play my other empire chars that often, usually NC if I do. Again I'll always advertise the hackers name for appeal via global.

 

Like Nelson_Muntz has previously said, we the mods and Joel are gathering data to try and put together a long term solution.  I can't mention what it actually as, but they are aware of the problem and they are, as said, collecting data to put together a resolution with the help of everyone here.

For the time being, keep PM'ing us names and keep appealing.

Just a FYI: we are players too and have been playing for a long time so we, too are annoyed with cheating and would like something to be done rapidly.

I quit appealing.  Yes it gets them out of the game for 5 min or so, but what's the point of spending 5 minutes yourself writing the appeal (plus figuring out the stupid barcode names) when the same hacker will be back in game in 5 min and not get banned again for at least an hour?

A REAL solution is needed SOE!  Banning them isn't working.  Eliminate the trial account or make them require a valid credit card to get one (one free trial per credit card per year).  And seriously, where is the community relations manager?  What is he being paid for?  At least make a post once a week saying "We're working on it."  We don't even get that.  Not a single word about the rampant hacking in months!  This is totally unacceptable for a game we pay $15 a month for and have had ZERO new content in the 10 months, yet have hackers galore.

I feel your getting at something but I can't put my finger quite on it.

we need a mechanism for the player base to at least send a suspected hacker back to the sanc with a 5 minute timer on returning.  i am pretty sure that if you set it such that you needed 5 CR5s of at least 2 empires to force a player to recall then we could avoid forced recalling of innocent players.

a hacker wont hang around long if they are being sent back to sanc all the time.

oh, and make it such that wildcards can be used to get the name

It would have to be an 80/20 vote tbh. For example was on Cyssor the other day bymyself on NC. First farmed Leza bymyself for a bit and with snowbacca when he showed. Got a few tells that I had been appealed. I must have gone 10/1 for a bit.

Some players just really are convinced that innoncent players hack. If a system like this was implemented then players like TRx and other really good players/outfits will be getting sent to sanc all the time even if they don't hack.

Actually, I've never made a crack at someone concerning RL stuff.  So, no.

The problem is that some so-called uber players have been using small hacks to give them an edge for quite some time. A little faster ROF, not missing their shots every time, etc etc. So it turns into a bit of a witch hunt as you can't tell BS or no BS.
