Regarding the hacking problem
I am a little bit frustrated over the abundance of hackers playing the game at this moment.
There is little fault to the GM's, there are just too many replays to go through.
So, my suggestion (which probably has been posted here before, I'm not sure) is to create a community driven hacker flagging system based on the Z8Games website.
Basically, any replay submitted will be placed in some sort of queue.
There will be, for example, a flash based viewer on the website that will be able play a random replay. People from the community can decide whether hacking is likely happening and then vote the replay up. And then, the GM's can focus on the most highly upvoted replays. If the GM can then decide whether the evidence is enough or not.
Maybe there will be a minimum rank requirement, and people who are suspected of hacking cannot participate in the voting.
Perhaps there should be a reward for doing this, let's say 1 GP crate for every 15 verified upvotes?

A little? They ban the legit people and leave the people who buy ZP (BRs) -

The replay should be random (you can't type in a player's name to view the case against him and then vote) and maybe a maximum of 5-15 votes a day. If there is a considerable amount of replays in the queue, it would be at least a little harder for an entire clan to gang up efficiently this way. -
... Based on the amount of hackusations I get every day, wouldn't I be most likely banned using this method?
I'm afraid while being a good idea, it is totally unworkable, a company would never let random customers do their jobs would they?
Most of the 'reasonably knowledgeable' people are reported a lot of the time. What your saying is these people should be disallowed from looking at reports, while the stupid people who send fake reports in are allowed?
In addition, what if you run up against a person you hate, love, is yourself (on alt)? Wouldn't that influence your decision?
The paying is also bad, as it could just affect how people look at reports, bad mindset i.e. I just need to skim through these 500 reports for x gp to buy x gun.
