Earlier i saw this post on APB's offical blog and just had to laugh.
http://apbreloaded.gamersfirst.com/2011/09/do-we-need-some-sort-of-cheater-amnesty_30.html
Through the post you can see he saying they are "observing" cheaters and banning them. He is now raging over what hes calling 'RAGE CHEATERS" that just make new accounts and do it all over again instead of implementing HWID bans as they should have from day one. Even windows based SAMP servers have systems for HWID banning and this company is a multi-million dollar company. He goes on to rage at the hacking sites and encourage people not to cheat... when has that ever worked. Hackers feed on this and are going to love the lead developer loosing his temper in public. He is also raging to the community about what they are doing to stop hacking and sadly it is not enough. Hacks should not work at all specially with the amount of development resources put into the game. They instead observe hackers and ban them as they find them and as hes claiming they observe them people want a instant ban system with hardware ID ban support so they can not return. It is a shame as i really like APB but this game seems to be going downhill due to the hacker problem.
As we have learned from SAMP hackers will always be a problem now Gamersfirst and APB will learn the same thing. The only thing you can do is build a strong anti-cheat and ban with hardware ID technology.
