A player of an online game was so good at cheating it became a problem for others in the online world of Guild Wars 2. So they gathered evidence of his exploits, made a case to the developers, and earned justice.
Geek.com’s James Plafke reports on the consequences.
The hacker, named DarkSide, was notorious for using exploits to teleport around the game world, deal a staggering amount of damage to other players, and survive attacks from groups that specifically teamed up to take him down. … So, the players recorded evidence of the hacks, posted them to YouTube, and got the attention of ArenaNet’s head of security, Chris Cleary. Cleary confirmed the illegal actions, and exacted justice.
The video above is of Cleary taking control of the hacker’s character, stripping him to his underwear, then hurling him to his digital doom. Videoed for posterity, the accounts was then deleted and the user banned from the game.
We don’t need to see it in-game, sometimes good video evidence is enough for me to track down who it was. In this case, the video was enough for me to find out who it was and take action. Thanks for the video, and to accompany your video, I give you this video of his account’s last moments: https://youtu.be/bqfUi9DzBuo
Oh yah, he’s also banned
