Any word on if and when SE will do something about the hackers rampant in the world?

[Tezeret]

It's just poor phrasing. I guess overtime hacking has gotten a lot more of a loose usage, but it should mean breaking into a computer system. It's an IT industry related word. If I spawned in ARR with a bazooka I wouldn't be "hacking" I would be "cheating".

Eitherway...you are still wrong.


It IS hacking. Its a downloadable third party program that hacks the client to give false positioning information back to the server to teleport to nodes. no walking. Characters can NOT teleport to nodes using traditional bots. Bots are usually third party macro programs that record keystrokes or mouse movements. This is a HACK because it actually changes client and server data to meet a pre determined goal. in this case positioning of the character.


The character THEN uses BOTS to script his mining behaviour to target specific gathering attempts.

So in essence it is both...and in violation of the games terms.
