Hello Tributes, lately I have noticed an influx of threads regarding hackers & abuse. Most of these threads hate on staff for these issues, and it has gotten me thinking. Of course the blame would go to the staff, since it is our job to catch and punish rulebreakers. Yes, sometimes the staff can't get a hacker, or was AFK when you poked them, but staff members actually punish a lot of people daily.
Regarding actual hackers themselves, every server has them, and they are extremely hard to prevent. We current have Xime Anti-Cheat, which blocks some hacks and mods such as Better Sprint Mod and Regen hacks, but I see that people are looking for more than just 3-5 mods/hacks off the server. This is completely understandable. I can assure you that the developers and administration are attempting to enhance our anti-cheat plugin, and more information should be released to the public when it is finished.
Regarding staff members, we do catch many hackers. In the last 24 hours, the staff team has issued roughly 300 bans, and our anti-cheat has issued over 1,600 one minute bans blocking hacks. Also, about 80 report abuses have been filed and resolved in the last 24 hours. Although it might seem the staff do nothing, a lot of the work we do it behind the scenes, especially the Sr. Staff and Administration.
Regarding abuse, it needs to stop. As a staff member, I see a lot of really mean and abusive stuff, and it is quite sickening to me. As a staff team, we are breaking down on abuse and disrespectful behavior, because it is NOT okay. In order to do this, we need your help. Please take screenshots of any abuse you come across and report it at

Anyways, I hope the cleared up some of the issues people have. Hope you all have an awesome day!
