I run two servers which have been experiencing a marked increase in hackers. The witnessed hacks are everything from esp, to aimbot, blinking, and even scripting control of the global chat.
On the most recent event our group of 5 were all shot and killed by an invisible player who systematically shot 4 of us in the head with an akm. Inspection of our two corpse we saw that all the gear on our heads were ruined. Within 30 minutes the hacker (or another) returned to announce over the global voip that 'he was taking control of the server.'
If the devs are going to do another character wipe maybe it would be more advantageous to perfect the anti-hack tools and grant server owner more tools to find and deal with hackers.
