A Warning on Public Ships

[Eliza Creststeel]

During the first surge of these incidents, Disney did manage to ban a number of pirates who were the main perpetrators but obviously they can simply create new profiles etc.

Best we can do is stay vigilant and try to minimize the damage these folks are doing until things can be locked down.

The same can be said for the SvS glitchers who get rapid fire, speed etc. and can attack other player ships not in SvS mode. These players fall back on the excuse that they are acting like real pirates but they just can't resist making the playing field completely unlevel.

Its not a matter to me that pirates could attack other players, as much as they have to stack the deck because they're afraid of losing.

That's precisely what POTCO has been doing. As soon as they are made aware of the threat, they clamp down hard by removing either certain services, or features temporarily until a fool-proof solution is implemented.

ROFL

Yep. if that was REALLY true... I'm sure they would have removed completely SvS and PvP capabilities, since it's these precise capabilities as well as events like Muertos Moon that the Hackers are using to capitalize on.

Sadly, it's these same things, events and activities which are the very back bone of this game, so they can't really fix it properly, which leaves them with the only other choice to solve the problem being to completely re-code the game and leave Panda 3D behind.

Somehow, I seriously doubt they take the game and it's maintenance seriously enough to fix it, because it's simply just bringing in money for little outlay, unless EVERYONE cancels their Unlimited Access, Disney will continue to provide mediocre (AT BEST) service and updates.

I just noticed this was happening/happened a few months ago. Can anyone tell me if this situation has improved? I might re-boot my membership if those hackers kids have stopped running amok.

Not to be off topic, but if everyone canceled their memberships, Di$ney would just look at it as......Well as everyone cancelling and their memberships. They would then probably shut down the game faster then you can say "ARRGH!".
