HACKERS EVERYWHERE, HACKERS DDoS

[SPQQPY]

In many of the games that I play, there are hackers that will go rage mode or DDoS individual players for reporting them. Is this the future of online gaming?

[Satoru]

Most morons on the interent dont have the capacity to do anything remotely like a DDoS attack.

[SPQQPY]

I agree, yet there are those special snowflakes that just want to ruin everyone's good time. ._.

In MW3 most 'ddos' attacks were merely people using MW3SA to boot them from the server.

You should continue to report users who cheat via their steam profiles. Or via any online methods a specific game may have.

Note that CS:GO now has a "overwatch" system by which players can view a person's behavior and determine cheating or negative behavior. If negative behavior is confirmed then the player is punished.

Expect more systems like this, LoL's "Tribunal" system, and GuildWars2 very aggressive chat reporting to become more standard in games in the future. Devs are realizing that a toxic online environment doesn't make their games palatable. I don't think anyone wants Amish style rules. But if you ahve some kind of latent Tourrettes Syndrome online, you really deserve a ban.

Most people know how to drive a car, some know how to change the air filter, themselves.

It does not makes them f1 drivers, much less automobile engineers.

Then take the first person who came, making something not usual like changing the exhaust alone or reprogramming the ECU with all made tools, and call them the little genius of the automotive industry..... :rolleyes:

The worst is that 99.99% people you call "hacker" do not even know how to write 200 miserable lines of code in assembler or C, hardly know the osi model, or how a network protocol works realy.

And after all this, it's just an IT engineer, developper, 0,01% of the most talented are eventually called real "hackers".

to see a real hacker, you have one chance in 1 000 000.

The remaining time they are script kiddies who cheat in games, or use all made DOS tools.

I agree

[Just wait,Time change..]

So many young people using this word Hacker not knowing about it.

ddos sucks

Colloquially people use 'hackers' as a very general term.

Yes 'technically' there are sub-divisions and you can argue about cutting up cheaters into various groups/subgroup/sub-sub-micro-mini groups.

But it's not really useful to start splitting hairs by claiming most cheaters aren't 'hackers'. The terminology isn't really relevant for the discussion of cheaters and again, colloquially people use the term fairly loosely. It's a term 'most' people agree on, that 'most' people use to describe cheaters to a certain extent. Telling people 'they're not hackers' isn't really helping because they don't care about the terminology, they care about the impact.

Correct terminology aids proper communication.

+1 Silicon Vampire.

in 10 years, eventually calling people with a problem of baldness, "skinhead", if this continues.
