    How are you going to know if people are traveling faster than normal speed ? You have to compare the position every time and check with the timer to see if it's possible (and take account the lag that can screw the calculation). Doing it once is easy and fast.
    Doing it every time for everybody sounds crazy to me.

    Most MMO's include it in their coding to detect abnormal movement above/beyond normal effects.

    Aion was coded for an X/Y Axis since you could fly...So, abnormal movements were tracked and flagged for a person to later look at them...This was of course after the bot ban that blanket banned a couple thousand innocent users BUT, that being said at least they got their accounts back within a few hours.

    The fundamental issue is SOE's lack of NA/EU CS. Cut the problem off when it starts - not a big deal. Wait 2-3 weeks to do anything, NOW it's a HUGE deal.

    Think of it like cancer or a virus. Stop it early, 1 person is infected. Wait 2 weeks...Day-Z happens.
