The BIGGER problem with hacking is those that do it to appear legitimate, they shift the bell curve (crudely drawn) to the right, breaking the balance of the game and completely discouraging lower skilled players from playing, it effectively breaks everything. The problem with hackers that do it to appear legit is that they can't be confirmed visually, they're virtually no different ot just very good players. Without catching them at the hook they're not detectable. I sincerely hope the SOE team have their own method of catching people at the hook as opposed to punkbuster, because the paid hack sites have absolutely zero problem avoiding detection from pb unfortunately.

Admin spectator option would be nice. Plus maybe some radical measures like autotempban for having 240 kills in 2 minutes or something.
