We are continuing to issue permanent bans to anyone cheating through use of 3d party programs. In some cases involving multiple account ownership we have banned all of the user's accounts. Use of these programs has dropped significantly and to the point where there are very few players resorting to their use.
Today we issued a 24hour ban to 185 players that were still using auto loot scripts even after our last warning about them. We have also been issuing temporary bans to players exploiting the terrain and structures in the world. These temporary bans will lead to longer and eventually permanent bans to repeat offenders. We regret having to enforce our policies but we need to protect the player base from those that refuse to play fairly.
Just a quick patch this week mostly addressing existing issues:
- Fix for issue where one or more chat tabs were selected without mouse button being pressed
- Fix for system window placement persistence
- Fix for party markers not always showing on the mini- and world maps
- Fix for challenger marker not always showing on the mini- and world maps
- Fix for various sound issues
- The chat message when player joins a clan will now say who accepted him
- Fixes to several quests
- Fix for various client issues

This is typical business practices of 50 years ago. Anyone that has business experience in the modern world knows a simple thought: blame the process, not the person. Greece is apparently very far behind in modern business practices. Blame the process (aka the game), not the players.
Don't make your game bugged that you can exploit the environment and monster movements. Don't use a skill system that allows you to macro all your skills without being there. Don't make your game completely client side so people can hack it very easily. I'm not in college anymore but this company would be an excellent case study to see how not to run a gaming company.
Instead they just "24 hour ban people" (LOL, 24 hours... like that means anything) and keep warning people. I played every MMO I could get my hands on and I've macroed in one: DF. You can throw back at me all day long "people cheat in all games"... that may be true to some extent, but not like in DF.
"But it is always the thing that is first in our address to our player base"
"There is no hacking in darkfall"

Who's funny? There are only a few people that posted before you and none of us said ANYTHING REMOTELY like what you are trying to present above.
It's called too little, too late.

There is only one way to do this over the internet, I am afraid however that moderators can't be bothered to give suspensions for trolling here.
It took them almost a week to release the rest of the hotfix for the previous patch.
I noticed that no one posted,
Great patch
Av is doing the right things
Game is progressing in the right direction.
People on the official forums weren't very happy with this patch either.
