I came across this. I thought this was a bit unusual. The hacker was forced to strip(controlled by the staff at that time) in a public area of the game. Then they killed him off with a permanent delete. I think the justice approach was a bit unusual. It's great they found a hacker. This is like public shaming I guess. Sending a strong message to other gamers. I think people won't hack as much if they find out they will be shammed like this in public.

 

I'm not sure totally what to think of this, even though its not in real life public. Being treated like that on a community is devastating to a persons self esteem and ego. I think this punishment can be effective. What would you do if the online mutiplayer you played started dealing with cheaters in this way, would you be okay with it

Your title freaked me the **** out.

It is true. He was stripped and killed in public. Just not a real life public. An online community public digitally.

Click-bait much?

 

At least is wasn't real. Donged that bullet.

I think more companies should do that. I couldn't less for the persons feelings on the matter. If you do something wrong, you get the punishment in public like Arena net did.

This makes for a very different story when you don't note that it was a gamer hacker's character.

That's partly what I think. Instead of an email with the violation. If they are really causing serious unrest. There was this guy who used to lead raids when I played online at the end he would auction off the items instead of letting people roll dice. I wouldn't have minded if they took him and deleted his items one by one. I think it sends a strong message. No one likes to be embarrassed on at level in an online community. I'm fine with it as long as they don't go too far.

And what happens when a mistake is made and the ban is not right?

Yeah. Public display and video and permanent deleting should suffice.

[Commander Rpg]

The question is: how did they force him? Under which authority or means? Couldn't he just refuse to be subject to humiliation?

 

Edit: alright, I've checked it now. Well, I don't like what the Staff did. It's just a wrong application of the Latin motto "Unum castigabis, centum emendabis": if you punish one, you will educate one hundred.

There was tons of evidence on this guy. It's all in the article.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Honestly I think the punishment should be a lot more permenant then a simple character strip and delete.

 

Like, say, altering their character so they can no longer kill anything in the world. Effectively making them useless and breaking their game forever. Like what Crysis did to people who pirated the game, turning all bullets fired into chickens.

 

 

Because you can't kill anyone, you can't complete any objectives. Your doomed to fail, forever.

According to the article. They took control of his account.

Actually, no one owns their own accounts or characters in MMOs. The company owns them which made the game.

He is now a virtual slave. He will be sent to virtual Colosseum soon!

It's an important distinction to make though: A person and a person's online avatar are two very different things.

 

In either case I don't really see what the point of it all is. It's just a PR stunt to say "Hey look, we're banning people".

 

Most game companies that deal in an entirely online game will ban hackers, they just don't make an example of them for everybody to see.

Then don't make a misleading title. When something is done in the public it usually means in real life. Even the article was able to be more discerning "with his character's public execution"

 

I wish OP wouldn't click-bait then maybe people would contribute to the discussion...

There's a contract. If you abuse of your privileges, most likely they can revoke them and you lose your account permanently.
