GMs = useless...

I really think SE needs to make some kinda of program to check the files on your computer like some other games have. An example would be like Punkbuster used when connecting to a Counter-Strike server.

I honestly think that is the only solution to the problem, other than that its pretty much allowing people to cheat at everyone elses expen$e :roll:

Go for it. You've pretty much covered most of the reasons I can't stand HNMs. The best part being that Squeenix announced not too long ago that you won't be punished for using a packet sniffer. Have fun.

Holy crap, they really did....

(Open Question) How do you plan to deal with players who use packet sniffing?
(Sage Sundi)
If a player is using some type of packet sniffing tool they're still required to be present at the location to be able to do that like any other player, so at the moment we have no plans on pursuing to nullify this behaviour.

Lemme know next time. I'll grab my level 8 THF and pretend I thought it was an area I was supposed to level in...
 
Did I mention I have a good ability to piss people off too? :D
 
Bald humes are no longer allowed to talk.

I sorta skipped over a page, but in response to what Elemmire said (there's a difference between camping a monster that gives drop you can sell and camping a monster that gives rare/ex drops)

....You're complaining about sniffers are Behemoth.
-Behemoth Tongue
-Safety/Defender Ring
-Pixie Earring


Yes, there's a difference. Behemoth/King Behemoth is on the more important said of it, to boot. Sorry to say, but what everyone's said is right - if you or your LS doesn't do something about it, it's not gonna stop, period. And from a totally screwed up point of view - SE admitted they won't go after people who sniff and crap. Thus being said, they've declared it's not against TOS, and as unfair as it is, it's completely fair play. I'm sure alot of people might see that crap as dishonorable bullsh-!t, but then again so is 10 people tackling one guy all at once in football, but it gets the job done. Do whatever you want though, I'm glad I'm not mixed up in this sortof stupid HNM crap, at least not yet..

Ahh yes the packet sniffers...

This is what they do Ele, they screw around with the .Dat files so the domain is clear with no mobs except KB.

Then they use a 3rd PT program to claim him from ISP, its known as grief tactic but the code must be uber X.x.

Revenge of the Sniffers!

WOW! That is fucking bullshit. :shock:
SE just needs to make an example of these people. It's against the rules, but they let it continue. The game is meant to be installed and played. It's not meant to be fucked with so you can screw everyone else on the server out having a chance at anything fun. WTF?!?!

The only way you could prevent .dat files from being moved, changed, replace, whatever, is to have a file scan every single time the game is being launched. Since it would check, notice something awry, and fix it. It would cause an inconvenience for many, many, people who would whine and cry over it.
 
oh yes.. cause letting it scan for 5minutes is really a pain in the ass when PoL starts up :\ people have no patience these days...
 
Unfortunately, the actions of few result in the punishment of many.
Another step to ensure that everyone is honest is just fine by me.
 
if it scans the dat files wouldnt it notice a lot of fun tweaks like model swaps we love so much and ruin those forever? And if it is scanning filenames those can be masked or hid i'm sure.

just asking, i dont know.
