Valve does the same thing. Once they figure out the vulnerability and exploits in play they observe them for a while to catch as many in their detection net as they can.

Or so they would have us believe.

Blizzard does the same poo poo, they basically gather information for 6 months or so then ban a couple hundred thousand people at a time

Careful friend, this kind of logical and analytical thinking is sedition in this thread apparently. God forbid you think to ask why :pgi: hasn't done anything to patch the vulnerability if they've known about it all this time :ohdear:

Everyone's opinion, logical and analytical or otherwise, is welcome in this thread. It's when someone comes off as a try-hard, egotistical pubbie or just an idiot pubbie (this is what happened here) when goons start torches and pitch forks.

It's probably not so much to catch more people as it is to reduce their false positive rate to an acceptable level.

How dare PGI do things that literally every other functional anti-cheat provider does? What's wrong with them?

No you see, PGI is in bed with the companies making the hacks for a percentage of those sweet, sweet Helios dollars. In, fact it's one big conspiracy that has resulted from slimy capitalism, leading all developers big and small to have secret meetings about supporting hacking while furthering the illusion that they care. Meanwhile, they are talking to the bilderburgers about how to use hacks to melt steal beams while blaming it on jet fuel. It's only a matter of time before Obama and FEMA get their hands on the hacking code and pass it to DARPA, who will build a real life hack and aim to reinstate Obama as president for life. Then, the valiant resistance will turn to robots to counter the super soldiers, who will use their newfound sentience to turn on all humans, resulting in the matrix.

If you ban continuously hack authors update their hacks more often and you effectively have an arms race a developer can't feasibly win. Large group bans are just in general more effective.

Picked up the Marauder pack yesterday and have been trying out different builds. So far I'm really enjoying the -5D with 2 ASRM6s 1 LPL 4MPL, and the -5M with 2 UAC5 2LL. Not really sure what to do with the -3R, right now it's AC20 4ML 2MG and it's been going alright. I tried out the 3 AC5 build but sniping is super boring. Any good MAD brawler builds that I'm ignoring?

I like the 5m with 3xLPL in the left arm and 2xML in the right. It's pretty fun. Not a brawler by definition, but it's suited me well in almost every situation I've been in with it.

So I've been loving around with the other Warhammers and have pretty decent builds for the 6D and 6R. I honestly have no idea what to do with the 7S though. I'm thinking something along the lines of this

Hmm. Reverse Heffay? Well, I guess so.

I'm not blindly adherent to PGI's claims, I have enough self respect to not give the company money, I don't accept things Russ tweets as if they were facts, I'm a goon, I play other games that are actually good, and I don't have to try really hard to get stupid people really upset at my posts on the internet, and I'm not objectively wrong when I post.

I think the only way in which I'm not the inverse Heffay is that I'm actually sad goons get this mad about a bad video game :allears:
