Economic analysis of hacking...

So I've been thinking about all the hacking that's recently been going on (again) and I wanted to take a look at the ban system. So clearly everyone knows that hacking has gone insane these last couple of weeks but it's hardly a new problem. Hacking has been around for a while, and Z8 is certainly aware of it. They've made it clear that they are trying to combat it, but it seems like nothing is happening. There have been many good suggestions on this board about how to deal with hackers. Z8 has yet to implement a single new solution to fight this plague, not even some easier ones. And I thought about why that is... honestly the only reason why I can come up is that they really don't want to deal with it... they are smart people out there and I'm sure they've done their research on how much hackers spend on ZP vs how much they lose when legit players quit CF. Clearly if Z8 lost a lot of $$ because people were quitting right and left, they would have done something to fight hacking. But since nothing has been done about it suggests that some of these things are possible:
1) hackers buy more ZP than legit players
2) legit players like this game too much to quit
3) legit players just do not buy enough ZP to warrant being helped in the fight against hackers

again... I think some of the solutions that have been proposed here are quite doable... I find it hard to believe that if hacking had such a huge impact on Z8's profits they would not come up with a solution... if there's a will, there's a way... so clearly there is no will... it just leads me to believe that hackers generate more ZP purchases for Z8 than legit players, hence why nothing is being done about it...

I'm not sure how this really reflects on spending habits of legit players... saying that all legit players should stop spending on ZP might be a terrible idea because that would mean that Z8 will care about us even less... let's be honest, Z8 of course needs you to buy ZP... and if you don't, cold hard truth is then they don't care for you... if you're not buying ZP or doing surveys, you're just taking up their bandwidth... so do we buy more ZP then? if you buy more then Z8 would have more of an incentive to protect their customers which right now it seems they care very little about. If the potential for a huge loss of revenue would be present, Z8 would try harder to keep that from happening. But again, nothing's being done, so clearly there's not a threat of this. Also saying "spend real $$" on a game that is essentially entirely broken with hacks is hard... I bought ZP in the past and did surveys as well... I've recently stopped because I feel cheated by Z8 but I've been reconsidering the impact that it has on hackers and why nothing REAL is being done. I know Z8 says "blah blah we ban many hackers" but CLEARLY that's not working guys, yes? I don't have a good answer for all this... I'm just disappointed in it all, and the more I look at it, the worse impression I get of Z8...
