impossible to do soulstone plains daily due to hackers

[lcranger]

so many speed hacking summoners in SSP now days, people just give up the mining phase already, they come in groups too and they are obvs players using hack engine, they were not just low level bots but some HM 8 dudes. its impossible to report them too, its already hard to target/right click them but they are masked like wtf man, even in TW server it was not this bad, hackers were just running meteors and injures, come on i see a lot of thread already, this is really getting unacceptable

I don't see why they just don't remove the weapons. Grenade Launcher, Machine Gun and the Ice Bombs. That's where their damage comes from. Without it, they'd be nothing more than a minor annoyance.

I'm not sure if they even read these forums. But, if anyone important at NCSoft is reading this...
PLEASE REMOVE THE GUNS FROM SOULSTONE PLAINS!!!
It will stop the hackers! At least, until they find a hack that can insta-kill their target. Haha

This is getting more common in SSP. Why this is not seen as grieving is beyond me.
It's not a matter of "get gud" in this case were a hack pops in and shots 1 shot and gets 2-300 prestige and ports away just as fast. NCSOFT can say "it is part of the game to do so". Well no.. it is not, not this way it is not, this is cheating. You are trying to play the game by the rules set and these *cricket*s are free to use these hacks to no end is bullshit.
Example being a character on Yunwa by the name of Louis Liu (infernal accs, profane weapon and Scorpio shield (yeah figure that one out) "farming" every channel solo for prestige. The player can be killed but comes back in seconds with a weapon equipped and keeps grabbing prestige by porting and stealth around (character is a BM at that) killing people. I can accept getting killed by a player using these weapons if it was a regular player, unlikely to do what this person does without dying instantly, but this is just retarded.
Removing the weapons is a great idea to be honest, they are pretty useless against anything but players anyway so just remove them from the zone period (not sure it will stop them from being able to spawn the damn thing to them selves anyway).
As for this specific exploit it seems they can stay invisible, constantly equip the weapons (spawning them) and porting around the map.
This is not just limited to SSP however, bots and hacks ruin dailies and farm some field bosses even. It is pretty out of control no matter what dev's say.
Honestly I don't understand why people put up with it at all as it is.
A word to NCSoft as well.. I get you don't care for your players (except deleting posts complaining) but if you want to kill a game just might as well tell people not to even play it without hacks and cheats as it seems it is open season to do whatever you want. It would be nice to see some sort of player/developer interaction regarding this issue officially.
I love the game but these "exploits" are ruining the experience and I for one am not sure I am interested in continuing playing if this continues, 1 person won't matter to you but I am sure as hell not going to recommend this game to anyone I know and play games with and am sure others will do the same.

I have to say its a great game , but all theese bots and hackers makes me sick to my stomach when i try to do my dailys in SS planes , the hacker bot prevention in this game is none existing by the looks of it , and yeah i cant belive they let the guns be ingame while theese hackers go around plowing down people like crazy  with them  , i regret i signed up for 3 more months of premium :(

its not just the weapons, now the multi boxers are doing ssp only when a mob spawns that would drop keys. the whole mining phase your fine then boom, 20 bots show up on any mob that drops keys. good luck getting enough dps in. and before you say gear up I am a warlock with my hm dragoncall so dps isn't an issue.

[Davian Darkeyes]

Its such a simple solution to take these weapons off untill they find a better solution, i dont know why ncsoft doesnt listen to her playerbase.

[Rebeus]

i have another idea but i'm agree with no more wepons there, another bad thing about the game is that you can report the hackers you see cause ALL of them use the item that don't let see the name or make a click to them to report them, threw it out too with the weapons, it's a so *cricket*ing useless item, don't give anything, only a way to the hackers to not be reported
