CatHat: Heh - this whole thread sounds a lot like a few of the meetings we've been through here about this topic. LOL, You guys wanna come work for Mr.Tact?

Luckily - there are always server side counter-counter measures we can take, but in the end if, someone is overly crazy about it there are usually ways to still go to extremes. The most obvious is just hiring dozens of kids in Malasia or Peru who've never seen a computer before, to play normally, and sell, all they gather. Luckily, thats something most suburban scripters won't bother doing.

Hmm - i suppose we could go to extremes too..

Gathers up EA guys with jump squad experience. Pilots chopper from a friendly nation to the third world farmers. Pays off informant waiting in an ox cart. Dons themoptic goggles - checks Sat link, hikes several clicks up a dirt path to the factory shack. "Avon calling", Entrymen blow locks - Twitter of silencers as the scripter boss and his hired orphans hiding their goats fall to the left and right of Sweatshop farm monitors. Checks wristwatch timer "ahh Man - hurry up with the clean will you guys.. i've got a publish to do soon."

Ok - well maybe that is too extreme. Yeah well... We get frustrated too ya know! But we're still looking at our realistic and effective options - no doubt those will be enhanced over time as well, to serve you all as best we can.
