Listen, being around these forums for awhile-ish, I see a lot of these types of threads. People always complaining that some skill/plugin allows for a small number of individuals to exploit. Here's what this all boils down to. Kainzo and other admins can only do so much to prevent exploiting. If someone is really really determined to exploit/hack, there's very little that admins can do about it. It is principal of thievery, not only in minecraft, but in the real world too. Short of Barnubus said, their is no way HC can receive continual updates to provide fun if everyone is worried about hackers.
TL;DR
There is always going to be some dick who exploits, but we shouldn't have to punish everyone for it.
Yes, but we
SHOULD PUNISH PEOPLE FOR IT. I think this is the root of the problem. People wanting it removed are well based because frankly, there is a lack of punishment for exploiters. lack of proper punishment system.
IMO: Kainzo should make a jail where you have to stay logged in for X time everytime you're caught.
EDIT: Caught? hah! like people watch everyone. We need something better than having to have admin involvement to begin with, maybe a public trial system? too much hassle. hmm. Perhaps town jails where people can jail you (instead of kill you) for like
up to 30 minutes at a time. (By doing so, they still get to take all your possessions, but you don't lose exp from pvp, instead you serve jail time against that township)
You can't logout, and it should auto-kick you if you AFK more than 5 minutes while in jail, and just incase someone figures that out, 30 minutes while outside of jail!!! Fuck banning people, make them wait and torture them/mind fuck them by letting them camp in jail! If that ain't enough, start rolling their block changes back, when their towns get raided cause they lost half a wall that player built, GG. If that ain't enough start nuking their levels.
We need a hardcore stance
against exploiters, again..not
for exploiters.
When they introduce new skills and people start exploiting them instead of removing them because all of a sudden a new fun badass skill is deemed too dangerous, just start bitch slapping people. We need order! ORDER DAMNIT!
Fun-Ruiners should be ganked. jailed. rolled back. lose their levels. lose their coins. etc. Worst-case scenario, start banning them after if they don't improve.
Shall we start a wizards petition? Hah.
All in favor on return to increased range / gunpowder reagent say aye!
@Wizards!!!
I have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying to use (less) 4 gunpowder? and increase the range of what? (don't you do enough damage already?) I think I will have to /disagree.
tl:dr
there are too many ways to exploit currently;
there is a lack of systems to identify and catch exploiters without human intervention;
there is a lack of punishment to exploiters due to the fact most all of them are not caught.
removing ways to exploit is a valid option; however
I'm open to solutions. Are you?
