Something needs to be done..

I know, this is not the place. I already sent this in along with the replay file. I think there should be a player list of the people who got banned, temp banned, etc.. Like an monthly or weekly post by the Admins/GMs to show us that they really are doing something about this glitch/hack fest. Also, from my point of view there seems to be more and more glitchers/hackers everyday, its like a non-stop hack-a-thon, and it leads me to believe that GMs are not banning these players only deleting their accounts, for fear of losing their ZP income.

At least show us some kind of improvement, and start banning people instead of deleting accounts. Also there seems to be a trend going around, and no I'm not trying to be biased in any way, or racist to any culture, but, 90% of the hackers/glitchers I've seen in game are Brazilians.

  • 1. The Ban list will never come back.
    2. Glitching does not lead to bans UNLESS they do it repeatedly.
    3. Hacks are banned.
    4. It takes a LONG time for the MODs to go through ALL of the reports. I bet most of them are useless too.

    What is the difference between banning people and deleting accounts? Because Z8 is issuing IP Bans.

    Yea far too often noobs report players better than them instead of the guy jumping in and out of the walls. The worst part about this statement is the support ticket bin is full.
  • Most people in Brazil, again not going over the racist line, have dial up and many americans have dial up too, and my point is that dial up IP's are dynamic which means every time they disconnect to the internet and reconnect they get issued a new IP address. Unlike with my connection which is from my cable provider which is static, it rarely ever changes. Unless Z8 is banning by MAC Address will this be useful at all. AND anyone who knows how to reformat a computer can change their MAC Address.

    Just restarting my router gives me a new public IP. If you want to ban someone for a long time; ban their ISP IP. ^_^

    Yea, but then they are banning thousands of other players who may play the game, in which they have not glitched or hacked.

    Also, you are getting your IP from the router itself. If you tried that, then went to one of the many IP check sites you would see if hasn't changed.
  • I dont kick the hackers during egypt mission since i need them to kill the other hacker on the enemy side, that damn VIP should be patched soon im gettin mad... :(

    I'm pretty sure you can ban a specific players ISP IP without banning other people, or am I thinking about banning their public. O_O
  • Z8 should do what Combat Arms and Counter-Strike did

    Ban the country with the most used hacks i.e. Brazil

    The ISP main IP like here in Toronto is 192.***.xx

    Those numbers in the sequence will get banned and the Brasilians can't make new accounts or play

    As much as this would be appreciated by the majority of the players, Z8games will lose profit from that country. =S Don't know how, but that's what I hear.

    They can use proxies. Hell I used them for Korean only.

    Well I guess money protects everyone from the chopping block. Even if the money being gained is the same money that's killing you. "Sure come on in! Oh, whats this!? A knife in my back, thanks!!"

    Counterstrike didn't do that. CS doesn't really have their own servers, anyways. Most of em are user-managed.

    Are you saying to Z8 how to drop down a big part of their income by banning some countries ? may be ALL the countries ." cause there will be always one bigger than the last one banned."
    Hac-kers was already a plague , now with the missions that encourage them to stay in game without being kicked will make them grow like never it has been on CF.
