I find it kinda bad that it took massive complaints and 3 weeks and in the end a mere video was all that was needed and then they took action, I find that more or less poor form, I'm glad they banned the hacker and all but that's 3 weeks worth of shit and piss people had to put up with, I;m glad that game wasn't sub based because I'd have ended it there and then and never looked back if it took them that long.
Honestly though hackers like the one mentioned never ever learn, sure the player is banned but the person in question will just simply make another character or go hack some other game and repeat the process, of course in this day and age people are opposed to violence and restriction of certain freedoms but then you've got these people who love and easily make everyone's past time a living hell and they get a mere slap on the wrist for it rather than hefty sentences to make them think twice before doing it or learn from other's punishments, yes instilling fear is probably a bad way to go about it but this is the internet, hackers don't give a shit about who you are and aren't in the least bit scared and feel super safe behind the screen, if you instill actual prison sentence level fear then they will think twice or they'll face the punishment and resent doing it or face it all over again until they actually learn.
Until then we'll be seeing more of this along with Swatting.
I'll be honest in saying I seriously dislike hackers and cheaters in online games and as far as anything goes I'd want them perma banned from online tech because they never offer any good will or help society in general and are just a pure blight.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
