Hacked to death?
Well a lot of plots that were claimed during the Archeage headstart now have their taxes due and are becoming available. There are over 40+ players milling around these expiring plots hoping to claim the land (highlighting the drastic shortage of land availability).
The AA forums are in uproar because there are a few players using some in game hack which allows them to claim the land before anyone else. One player has reportedly claimed 10 plots using this hack despite numerous people simultaneously trying to get them.
Add to this the teleport trade hack, the AH sniper hack, the endless sea of bots etc, this makes the game almost unplayable for the legitimate player. Disappointingly, players from alpha tell us these hacks were known back then and Trion either were unable or unwilling to fix them.
Nothing will kill a game faster than hackers/exploiters, this needs to be priority one issue for Trion.

news to me.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
So the 30+ post on the Archeage forums are not enough you need to make another one here because...?
I am sure Trion are working on it there is no need to start roaming with pitch forks and torches just yet.
People misuse the term fanboy now days.
You are not a fanboy simply because you enjoy the game. However you are a fanboy if you spend more time on forums defending the game company as you would your own 'mother' rather than actually playing the game.
I always tell people. Good games need no defense and bad ones have no defense.
Ques suck on the weekend and I was bored so I came here. My first post was not defending the game as much as poking fun at the OP.
Apologies I didn't realize if a topic was being discussed on another forum then it precluded it from being discussed here....oh wait it doesn't!
By all accounts this and other hacking issues are not new and have been around in the KR and RU releases as well as NA alpha. Just how much time does Trion/XL games need to get on top of it?
I have never seen so may hackers in a mmo seas of bots using teleport hacks it makes the game unplayable in some areas the report system in game is horrible no wonder there are so many hackers.
I have seen 100's of players with report debuffs for days on end nothing seems to be done about it.
This is actually a worrying sign. Newly launched MMOs are complex, and it's normal to have software exploits and issues. Usually they get steadily fixed, and after a few months the worst problems are gone. But this is not a new Archeage launch - it's the third market that the game has launched in. And if hacks are a problem in a mature version of the game there is no reason to expect them to be fixed in a new one.
4th market (Korea -> japan -> Russia -> West), i thing in China is still CB and will be the 5th. Or china was the 4th and West the 5th, not sure.
I always thought a fanboy was one who become far too personally invested in their product of choice as though it was an extension of their own identity.
Trion doesn't do coding - they are JUST the publisher and translator. If XL Games doesn't do anything about the hacks, TRION can't do anything either.
The encryption method is quite poor and does nothing to prevent hacks. The anti-cheat system, used in game, is also quite poor. That is why very few other games use it.
I apologize, I was really drunk when I called you that. I do think you are defending them when you shouldnt be though.
As for my quote, there are those that can and they think they know how to teach
There are only 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that don't
Why were you poking fun at the OP? He brings up a legitimate issue with the game that is seriously turning a lot of people off of it. And your assertion that Trion has a group of people working to correct the problem is dubious, considering his was brought to their attention during alpha phase, and nothing was done about it then.
Because people like me do not check the forum for every game we are possibly interested in playing. I get a feel for how things are going from this forum (taken with a grain of salt of course). I appreciate the heads up.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
There teleport hacks in the game just look at reddit or YouTube and you can see them here a video of people teleporting from mob to mob
here one of people teleporting to the trader with packs 
and and a big reddit topic http://www.reddit.com/r/archeage/comments/2h6ud4/teleport_hackers_handing_in_trade_packs_in/?sort=new so I do not understand how you can say there is no teleport hacks anymore when there is or am I missing something.
Just WOW - you are completely incorrect. I've seen teleportation myself and there are videos all over youtube showing it.
If so why did I see several of them when I turned in my trade packs yesterday if it was fixed at headstart?
As for the meaning of some gold sellers doing it I dont really care and it does not impact me directly.
Plus you have the LP limitations which sets bots and players on a level playing field. So it is not like they can make infinite money.
My understanding is these hacks were known and have been in use on the Russian and Korean servers for years.
Why shouldn't he, is the question? What is the cost of his doing so? I play AA a whole lot, yet almost never visit the forums unless I'm looking for specific information. I do however, visit these forums regularly, so thanks OP. Not a waste of time or "space".
I've seen my fair share of botters, but almost always are either gold spammers or farm bots at the hasla mob drop sites/jester's coinpurse mobs
