Neal,
The one upside about hackers in a beta, is they do show
where the potential hacks are.
Which allows a decent dev team to take measures to stop them...
When I started playing online many moons ago... The way you dealt with a cheater/hacker was to, despite the cheats, grind them into powder. No mercy, and focus on them.
I'm slower than I used to be, and I'm out of practice... but the "Barracuda" of old occasionally shows his head. Then the hackers/cheaters try to say I'm the one cheating.
Although, even in fast paced, "console" type games, I usually go to "calm, cool and methodical". Drives 'em nuts EVERY TIME!
