Clientside Hack Scandal incoming in....
« on: July 05, 2010, 12:15:26 PM »
So basically some tit shows up on SHC with "proof" of client side python injectios/hacks that let himd o various things.  tries to sell it, gets banned, goes to kugusts, gets banned there. Is now selling hacks on a hackking site somewhere.

Video is in this thread: http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewtopic.php?t=35652

Old - now locked and renamed and edited thread: http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewtopic.php?t=35622

(too lazy to go to kugu, and so far not seen threads on EVEO, but I tend not to go there till Ive been up a few hours and clubbed some kittens etc).

if this all hits the press, other gaming sites. Then shitstorm incoming - more so if ccp do fuck all about it, just like lag and all the other broken shit (did you know Extractor clicks in PI are now actually causing database lag, due to sheer number of extractors in the universe?) - bitter vets wont ever leave, but bad publicity is well, bad.

They need to streamline the PI stuff, way to many clicks if it is causing database lag.

Hacks and shit doesn't matter that much really, all games have them.

Of course.
Just saying that hacks exist in all mmos :)
Don't think that makes that big a deal with new subscribers.

one button to get all extractors (on the planet you're currently working on, or just all planets you got) would take me over the moon. dont know if it will solve lag though - prolly wont

Wouldnt solve lag in and off itsel, but think of the reduction in server calls from less clicks, which is a small step, but would be a good one.

Suspect the clicks are client side, the submitting server side. At least if they have done their work properly. But CCP
