Has there been any mention of a banwave coming? Or has the list of banned players been added to since the initial announcement of 64 accounts.

I can't say I have suspected anyone myself but I don't play very regularly anymore.

I suspect A LOT of people.

But maybe i'm only a bad pilot and they are just too good to be true.

Russ stated in the last Town Hall that PGI already has another list created and are adding more to it as people get caught. PGI is not releasing those names or banning those accounts YET, as per Russ 'we are using them as guinea pigs right now', not sure what that means, but I have my ideas, and it made me and a buddy of mine laugh when we heard Russ say that. He did say they'll ban those people eventually and release the list of names, but not yet.

For those who think they are getting away with it, please, do keep on using it, you show PGI how stupid they are!

Anybody who kills me must be a bot because I'm just too damn good looking to die. And thats a fact you can write a check on. And cash it at the Win-Mart. Which is full of Win and Candy. And the candy is as sweet as I am. Because people see me and say "sweet!"

What were we talking about?

It probably means they're trying to figure out who has what version of some sort of hack.

Seeing who has, lets say 1.1 of something, and who has 1.2 or any other numerical variations, seeing how the different versions ping on their detectors, if this version pings high, while another version pings lower.

That'd be my guess.

Or maybe the devs are back hacking their PCs, to steal some nudes showing their fat seaters and small "front-loaded-tool" just to shame 'em.

The hack for MWO is a pay per month thing, anyone who honestly thinks PGI does not have an account for it is an idiot, then again, only idiots use hacks, so that explains it all, quiaff?

I have to admit there are some people that have suspiciously fast reaction times on their shots and unusually fine-tuned map awareness. Most of the time I assume I was spotted and they're just good players, but occasionally something just seems superhuman.

I hope we get another banwave soon so I can rest assured that I'm probably just being paranoid.

I am not hoping and waiting for ban waves. Although cheating is not tolerable i hoped that the first 65 banned were enough to make some people think.
Apparently this is not the case and i´m not happy or a rubberneck for that.

With your playstyle you should be paranoid, it'll help you live longer.

It will be nice to see a regular occurrence of bans so we know something is actively being done.

Seriously people cheating is pathetic.They should feel ashamed.
I would rather suck than have to use cheats,and if I did suck which I did tonight 0-6 :unsure: I would never stoop to that level.
I would keep calm and get better :P.
Lifetime ban for them.

Had a scare the other night when my patcher was "Validating Patch" for a long long while...
Luckily I task manager killed it and ran the repair tool. Fully operational!








Yes, this was a joke, but it really happened. Apparently it has happened to others before? Repair tool just cleared my shaders and was good to go.
