Hackers render official servers literally unplayable
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Myself and countless others on the server lost all progress and were literally unable to proceed beyond spawn due to a hacker blatantly killing anyone and everyone regardless of where they were on the map.

Earlier this week something similar happened, and I naively thought it must be a rare occurrence, so my friend and I changed to a different server and started again. Are we supposed to continue spending hours upon hours building our characters up again just hoping the same thing doesn't keep happening, when it's obvious nothing is being done about it by the only people in the position to fix it?

It is completely absurd that such blatant incidents can't be detected and acted upon automatically/programmatically - all it would take is a simple script parsing the logs and watching for known anomalies. These incidents are so obvious that a false positive would be unimaginable.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Play on official servers running latest version of the game, naively thinking you're not completely wasting your time.
  2. Die randomly and repeatedly due to critical unaddressed flaws/vulnerabilities in the game's code allowing malicious players to manipulate the server with 3rd-party software.
