thanks for sharing you thoughts on the idea. You sure do have a solid foundation for what you believe is right and thats great. I think your completely right, but I also think it depends on the game. For instance, in a ladder game I hate cheaters because it completely ruins the game. However, in games like LOAP it is a different story. Nearly every version of LOAP has a couple players that are nearly invincible and can do anything they want. That game is basically a cheating game, if you had MH it would do nearly nothing because u can see most of the map anyways and if you had cheats for gold it wouldn't matter because other people already have that much gold. Basically, I agree with your opinion with a few exceptions

Thats all right, i do not really care about ladder hackers because i know for a fact that their cd key WILL be banned from ladder play if not totally banned from b.net, so when i battle someone with hacks it amuses me that they are willing to throw away their cd key. Mh does ruin alot of my favorite custom games but as of the last patch, mh has been removed i think.

mh is definately still around, you know even if someones cd key gets banned it only costs $5 for a new one. A lot of mhers will make it obvious by what they say and the timing they say it, for example this one guy i've played with on rt has beat me every time i've vsed him and yet everytime I start to make second tier units or am teching he will guess the units by the building I just started to make. the timing is ridiculous like within 10 seconds of building he'll always say something. Yeah as far as where my concerns were its all ladder really I'm not a big fan of the custom games, although when I get a new net I'll probably give dota a shot.

$5 huh, i assume they sell them to each other on other websites right? I also know there is a certain Algorithm to making a CD key because it had an explanation of it in my genocide bot. But it seems like its to much work to just be sold for 5 bucks. I guess they are desperate. Regarding Mh i assume it is back now because the latest version of shadowfrench maphacks were released on April 27th, about 20 or so days ago.

Ooops I got the price wrong, its 10$ and you can get it right from blizzard.
CD-Key Replacement Blizzard Entertainment P.O. Box 18979 Irvine, CA 92623
Someone needs to make a program to detect map hackers, wouldn't it be great if blizzard could send out a program to work like that auto kick thing that will kick map hackers the second they turn it on. Good way to preserve the game.

hmm intresting, i didnt know you could buy replacements lol. Keep in mind that we are dealing with hackers so if there was ever such a program created, the programmers of maphacks would try to create a new version that could bypass the system. That would be nice though.

yup, even blizzard has made many anti maphack patches that worked for a couple days. However, the creators of the maphacks just created and released updates to the hacks that get around blizzard's patch.... The only thing that I have noticed that has been stopping hackers are the actual games with Anti Map Hack in the title. Most of these are on the frozen throne, but they seem to work about 98% of the time. That is from a month or so ago, so it might be different now...
