Good guilds still accused of hacks

As I'd said in my previous post, my intent was not to call out any specific guild, which I did not. The post that I replied to did, indeed, call those guilds out, but my comment was simply meant to imply that I had experienced something similar; whether or not any of the named guilds were involved was intentionally left blank, because I cannot provide specific proof on any of the instances that I've personally found suspicious.

Having said that, my opinion on the matter remains unchanged. I've done my best to apologize for ruffling feathers, but it is the opinion of many others that these things do occur. I stand by the fact that I've seen strange things myself, and while I don't have specific evidence of the hacking, that doesn't mean that it isn't happening.

I'm sorry that my explanation doesn't sit well with some of you, but that's the truth of it.; take from it what you will. Finally, let me say that in the future steps will be taken to censor such comments and discussion from ever appearing below an article in this fashion. Whether or not the accusations are true is a matter worthy of debate, but it doesn't belong in the comments section of an article.

Hey there Altruistic, remember when you were lightly trolling the Sorey thread and I asked how you'd feel and react if it was Covenant that was being accused? I guess that I'm here to white knight for you.

What you should have said was "I made a bone head comment, my bad, I'll try to do better." You may have actually earned some respect and empathy with that.

Really, you think so? I find that most good players are homicidal maniacs who are barely kept in check from being unleashed on society by the sadistic pleasure they get of slaughtering countless peons in this game and then lording over them with boastful glee.

I try to chat up and joke around with people in other PVP guilds all the time, and yes some people have been pleasant back. But I've never had someone share strategy with me. I've had them spit on me, call me names, tell me to quit the wz, call me stupid, and tell me to kill myself, though!

But this guy over at DH is just a joke and should be removed as a moderator for a comment like that that can be so easily misunderstood. Regardless of his backtracking, he basically accused all of the better known PvP guilds of hacking.

I agree 100% with this. By posting what he did on that site and this forum he's basically giving notice that the website isn't worth visiting.

I don't think people that have been around for a while are reporting people for hacking but there are a lot of new people that do not understand sentinels and marauders . Almost everytime I am in a pug facing one of the guilds mentioned in this thread someone will ask if they are hacking and someone will have to point out the abilities being used by the sentinels. It is unfortunate.

First of all, why does anyone worry about false accusations if they are clean?
So far, nobody has been banned unjustly.

I think there are guilds that honestly don't know that they harbor a cheater.
Unless you are a healer, most of your attention is directed towards the enemy and the objective. So if the cheater doesn't do something brazingly outrageous (i.e. Gingers), the guildies might not even notice. I'm sure I have been on teams with lag switchers without becoming aware of it.

I also believe there are guilds who know that they harbor a cheater, but tolerate it, because it wins them warzones.
From their point-of-you, they are not doing anything illegal by keeping quiet. Until the cheater is caught by EAware, it is not in their best interest to report that guildie.

Lastly, I noticed there a few guilds who actively participate in cheating. Those are NOT the top guilds, but the wannabes, the kind that gets in trouble when facing a good pug team. I have seen 2 on Imp-side and 1 on Pub-side who apparently cheat as a guild activity. The warzones against them will always have lag spikes, regardless which guild members are playing, and miraculous game-winning stuff happens way too often whenever they get in danger of losing. Sometimes, I cannot pinpoint the individual cheaters (i.e. a bomb just appears on a watched door during a lag spike), so I end up reporting their entire warzone roster - it's EAware's job to investigate, they got the tools for it.

As a rule, whenever something funky happens, report report report and EAware sort them out.
