I was killed by a team of disguised hackers...

I hate when people bring their hacker complaints to the forums. No offense, but nothing is going to happen in result of you getting grumpy on this website.

However, I get your point. I know it can be frustrating.

All in all, I can assure you it is just a game and no matter how addicted any of us get to it, it really doesn't matter. Eventually we are all going to move on to other things, and this server will be but a distant memory.

My advice for now, if you run into a hacker, try your best to record them and get them banned. If not, take a deep breath and move on to the next game. As much as we like to bash the mods, we have to trust that they do a good job (which they do) and its not reasonable for every hacker to be caught.

On your point about Mojang making hack clients unusable: this won't happen. Believe it or not, hack clients are used for positive benefits in several different ways. For instance, map makers use (or should use) hack clients to count and distribute the chests on their maps. This is the only way to make sure chests are balanced on MCSG maps. There are some other ways to, all having to do with the "creative" side of MineCraft.

The only way that may happen is if Mojang develops a usable game console or a hack client of their own that only includes the hacks that are beneficial and legal in some creative cases, and leaves out all the pvp related hacks. That way theirs can be usable, but any 3rd party clients would not.

However, all that^ won't happen. Far too much gray area and not enough support would be gained. In the foreseeable future hackers will be a part of the game as they have been for MCSG's three years of existence. It is going to be something that the community is going to have to get over, and move on. This is why I don't understand why people come on here and complain about this kind of stuff because they don't understand nothing is ever going to change.

Cheers mate. It's hard to stop myself as I've been here since around late 2012 and it's really sad to see the community become what it has at the moment. Good advice too.

By the way my intentions are no at all to bash on the mods. Last week I reported over 20 hackers as well. Thanks for sharing your opinion and explaining a side I was unaware of before posting this.

Thanks, I just want people to know that nothing can be done to eliminate hackers and that getting mad/frustrated isn't the answer. Accepting that hackers are part of the game and moving on is a much better approach.

However, I would argue this point. I do feel a "new presence" in the community as most of the old players have come and gone and MCG's new generation is running the show now. I don't think the community is any worse now than any moments in the past. I just think things are changing and some of us aren't used to them yet (including myself).

I'm really just trying to be optimistic. I don't think there is absolutely nothing we can do about hackers and accepting it is the best option... I dunno I was just sharing my thoughts.

Well, the mods can't reasonably ban all of them.

Mojang cannot outlaw hack clients.

MCG has no way to prevent 3rd party clients on their servers.

Personally, I don't know what can be done other than keeping a stable attitude, taking a deep breath, and moving on.

I hate to admit it but you're probably right ;-;
