~*REVISED*~ Temporary "Band-Aid" for hackers

(I had to redo my other thread because people only read the first post and not further ideas/changes that I've made)

Z8 will never equalize the banned:hack ratio realistically.

That being said, why not add an item to the Item Shop. Where you can be an "Elite Room Master" who can bypass the vote kick system with an limited insta-kick ability to fight off the endless barrage of hackers. That way we can play TDM or any mode for that matter without the fear of hackers and/or noobs who doesn't F11? THIS FEATURE WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE FOR FFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes I basically borrowed the idea and added on to it from Combat Arms. But only because it worked surprisingly well. I considered the Elite Master Room a safe haven from all of the other hacker plagued rooms.

I'd say about 95%(from what I've seen as legitimately reaching captian) of hackers are below 1st LT, so make it a rank requirement. Also another great requirement would be making it only available to those who have the "HONORABLE SOLDIER" ribbon. Alternatively you can make that ability a free privilege to loyal players who have reached the rank of 1st LT and the ribbon. Just because one 1st LT might abuse it doesn't mean EVERYONE that's a 1st LT will. And if a 1st LT hacker buys this item I'd be happy to be kicked from the room he is in, then I will report his ass and make his hard earned rank go POOF. And remember you cannot use these powers unless you made the room.

To those who still disagree because of the farmers, well maybe add a profile created date requirement of lets say a year?

I don't see how refining the existing vote kick will help because it's not the number of votes that should be addressed, it is the voters who I am worried about. TDM is filled with either clueless newbies or people who wants to win with the hacker on their team. That's why if you play snd with a skilled audience 10/10 times the hacker will be kicked. So the quickest and most efficient way to remedy the symptoms of this hack plagued game is to either implement my limited-auto-kick-1stLT-Gp room master item or perhaps like the rank restriction server like delta make a new one for 2nd LT+ however this will be an unfair solution to those at a lower rank.

Please either intelligently criticize, agree, or don't say a thing. Thanks :)
