Suggestion for hacker problem in arma 2 and dayz

Recommended Posts

This is primarily for day z, but after seeing countless threads and everyone complaining i thought i should throw my two cents in. First let me say i don't hack, with that said lets think about this with some logic. Lets say i go play GTA IV will there be hackers in regular servers? probably not, you wanna know why? Its because if i wanna use a trainer or a mod in GTA IV I can do so in a "Modded" server and this is perfectly acceptable. Its acceptable because somewhere along the line someone realized people are going to do this no matter what, cheats even going back to the Nintendo days wouldn't exist unless someone wanted to use them. This may sound strange to some people but, take for example gta IV, i spent 60 dollars on it mind you, if i wanna use a trainer i should be able to and the developers facilitate this. Day z is fun, and i will say that most script kiddies and hackers do this for fun, because having all the weapons and flying around is fun in day z. You would have a lot less, i understand the problem won't go entirely away, server harm, if you had some server that were like a sandbox server were the people that want to mess around and have fun can do it, and the people that want that serious survivor experience can go on different servers and be left alone. Keep in mind one thing you may be banning hackers but at the end of the day ,most of them, they still are your customers, maybe your not filing a need they want? Most of these hackers just want to have some fun, now there doing it others expense, you could try to facilitate some kind of sandbox or "mod's allowed" server setup for these people to go crazy in. Keep in mind banning 20,000 hackers or cheaters may sound like a thing to celebrate, but i will bet you those 20k will never buy one of your products again. Just a thought, always remember if most of these people could go into a server that was legit and do what they want, they wouldn't be paying 10 dollars a month to a shady company to buy the scripts to "hack" your game.

To begin with the majority of hackers hack to cause chaos rather than to have a certain item/vehicle. IE spawning bombs, or any objects until the server gets overloaded and dies. So, you would want a public sandbox, where everyone could spawn bombs, vehicles etc etc? Hackers can create their own servers if they wish for a "sandbox" to mess around with hacks. It's very simple to host your own server. This isn't gta iv. And I think most people payed for the game and also agreed to it's terms during installation. So,you or anyone else paying for the game doesn't automatically give you/them a free pass to use cheats/scripts in public servers.

That's ludicrous to to say that just because you payed for the game you should be able to hack the game... seriously?

How many do you suppose actually paid for it in the first place? And even if they did, tough S***. You break the rules, you pay the consequences.

Everyone's free to open a server and disable BE and other anticheat measures.

Pointless topic is pointless.
