n0kiMOD Gets VAC'd

[Thortok2000]

#1: There are other companies out there doing anti-cheat. This is simply for all those that say VAC rules. Blizzard in particular has smacked down hackers on Diablo II, and other than one single popular hack on WC3 (that also got smacked down), I don't think there's any. Game makers can and do fight hackers.



#2: Any anticheat is better than none.



#3: False positives for 5 year bans with little if any exoneration sounds bad to me. I'm sorry but there's no way around this one. That just sounds bad. I can't even say "at least it's not permanent" because most likely if I couldn't play CS for five years I'd probably forget it existed and never play it again.



#4: As far as hacking goes, I don't care if a newbie is hacking to be a moderate-level player, and not some butt-kicking headshot factory. HE'S STILL HACKING. Give him his 0/30 score, if that's what he earns without hacks. Allowing hacking of this nature simply because admins can't spot 'em is against my morals.



#5: As far as the hacks go, do your part. When you find a hack that works, tell VAC about it, so they can use it themselves, figure out how it works, and prevent it. Don't use it to test every update of VAC and wonder why it isn't fixed yet. Between you and the people who actually use the wallhack, nobody's telling VAC about it. So how do you expect them to fix it? Surf the web themselves?

They probably have better things to do, like fix the ones that have already been reported.



#6: You have to admit that way, way more than half the false positives are gonna be people who really were hackers trying to get back in. No ifs ands or buts about THAT. Okay, maybe not more than half (I mean, who really knows anyway?) but quite a bit of them, no doubt.



#7: As I understand it, I paid for a CD in a box that allows me to play a team game. They even were kind enough to enable constant support for the listing of possible servers. I looked twice, and never found "We will prevent hackers for you" anywhere in the EULA, box, CD, game software, anywhere. They do this out of the kindness of their hearts. You paid the money for the game, and if you don't like it, don't play it. And if you aren't going to play it, then stop coming to a website for it and telling everyone you aren't going to play it. Sheesh.



I think that's all for now.

VAC is ticking me off, too many updates, first of all, I'd like to say, that YES I did have a hack, a speed hack, long time ago for when I got bored, I'd go knife random servers with it for a laugh, I wouldn't take it seriously, that was about 5 months ago or so, got tired of it after a few weeks using it every now and again, so I deleted it, an ya know what? fragments of it remained in my comp some where.. And guess what? with this latest Update of theirs it got detected, when I was completely clueless that it was still in my comp, so it warned me "Repeat violations will result in banning" so I'm goin' "Wth?" I try again, the same warning pops up, after about 2 more tries it says I'm banned till the year 2008... C'mon lets get real? whose even gunna really play by then? I figure there will atleast be CS3 or something out in that year, plus the fact, if you're not really a cheater, and YOUR BANNED from all secure servers how the hell are you gunna play for fun? Its either your forced to cheat, or go get owned by a buncha aimbots, what fun is either? Plus the fact, THEY WONT EVER stop cheaters, VAC will update, someone else will make a new hack to by-pass it, it's a never-ending war, so I say, leave it alone, cheats and cheaters are everywhere and there will be everywhere, it won't end... I only played on ONE Server my fav server, EVERYONE there knows I didn't hack, I was friends with the admins, I think it should be this for security "VAC detects" and somehow informs admins so the admin can decide if its ban worthy or not, in my case I SAY NOT. The admins of this server would agree... A new system should be in order along those lines I think, that way no one complains, admins might have to do a little extra work, but what kinda work do they do anyways besides boss people around anyways. Besides I've seen a few real cheaters, and some aren't that bad, I mean you can tell, but they aren't just RACKIN' up huge scores ya know? I mean, some people just suck and need a little help, atleast it brings them up to worthy standerds in the game "Not supporting cheating this is just a thought of mine, in some cases I really dont care if someone cheats so long as their scores are reasonable instead of 80 - 10 which is crap" its kinda like... A handy cap, someone can't walk, they have to use a wheelchair or some crutches to help them walk, I've seen all sorts of cheaters, but the ones who play God are the most idiotic ones, plus, if you, yourself can't even call out if someones hacking, why not let'em stay? I'm not saying that anything I've said in this comment is right and should ABSOLUTLY be done, I'm sure some of you can see my point, AIMbots are stupid an dumb those are really the only hacks I HATE...

I hope none of you are frowning on me for any of this, but I can't really explain it the way I'd like to..
