Judging by some of the past comments from the posters here, even the fanbois are pissed. Glad I stayed on my side of the fence through all this "revival" bullshit.
They addressed this in today live stream. They are adding anti cheat detection to the game for the upcoming launch of 6.0 to attempt to prevent this kind of stuff.
I will say this. It is not really an exploit of game though people are using 3rd party tools to hack the game client more or less and the server lacks the ability to detect the cheats. Still bad but not raelly an exploit with the game itself more or less less people modifying the memory and packets to do things normally not allowed.
Archeage problem is you can send stuff saying your character is here and the server will accept it. You can even enable swimming everywhere. So you can more or less fly. AA cheats always included flying, Position hacking, moving really fast, walking through walls.
FFXIV has the same stuff that game you can change values to walkthrough walls, move at warp speed, fly and so on. RMT do it all the time to mine from underground.
You can do the exact same things in WoW technically, but the anti-cheat auto bans you.
Problem is you can get around the Auto Cheat Systems as well. If the coder knows what they are doing and they have a dummy account or two they can get banned while testing it. With Archeage's last version though there were 3 anti-virus softwares that when they scanned files while playing archeage the game would auto ban you for illegal 3rd party software. So Anti-cheats can be a problem as well.
As crappy as Trion was and as much as they totally screwed the pooch together with XL to ruin ArcheAge - they had way more resources and manpower to ban 3rd party speed/teleport hackers, sure it wasn't anywhere near 100% but ... dont expect Gamgio to come even close.
Gamgio doesnt have the tools, nor the manpower to deal with this in any meaningful way - so the same exploits will be orders of magnitude worse in Unchained
Buyer beware
Which begs the question: should Trion have spent LESS.
(Not suggesting that in and of itself just cutting back this aspect would have stopped them going under but as part of an approach.)

Clearly neither.
