Why is there not more control of "admins" and laddering groups to help keep it (cheating) to a minimum? It would require time, effort and a sense of honor and more direction other than "get a ss". Most cheats you can tell they are there by player behavior, but its difficult to get that "ss" that ultimately show the hack. How do you get a ss that show that no matter the approach, the target ALWAYS knows which way you are coming and never "missfires"? You cant. Assumptions are made and from what I have seen, its all in "who" you know...not the facts of the situation. And that is a shame. Not all facts are addressed and some are even misconstrued.

And we all know that "ss" can be corrupted, edited or plain out cheated on within themselves. So why is it the "only" way to prove someone cheats? There is no "ultimate" way to catch a cheater. But they dont allow scanners or any other method short of dump user (a waste of time due to ease of editablity) to catch cheaters. How does this promote fair game play?

To many peoples ego and life value is attached to playing a game. Many people think that coming into a match, server, game environment and using cheats makes them "big men/women". But what they dont take into account, and are probably not honorable enough to realize, is that THEY (the user) are NOT playing. The computer is playing for them. How is that a show of skills?

This is not to say that there are not very excellent players. There are and I bet they get accused of cheating all the time. I have seen them and even made the false accusations myself. But in studying and watching, you will pick out the "modified" player 95% of the time. They ALWAYS make a mistake that gives he/she away. You just have to be sharp and observant enough to catch it.

I enjoy playing with the people of superior skill. I learn from their tactics. And when I loose, I loose to a person who is better, not a person whose has more files or more edited files than I do.

No, I no longer ladder (prior to the unfortunate incident) because its frustrating to play when you know there is cheating going on and the "admins" blow you off. And since live is short and its just a game, I prefer to play with loyal clan and a countless few that play on our server with honor, and fun.

Thank you for your time
