     When I joined the game, my FPS which is normally 120~, was stuttering like crazy.  It was dropping below 30.  I paused the game and closed everything I had open on my other monitor which was just pandora.  When I unpaused the game, it froze and crashed to desktop.  When I looked at his match history this is what I saw.  Every game is less than 3 minutes, and that loss shows as an error.  Brand new account with only 25 games played.  I reported him, but everyone should be on watch for it.

    I really don't understand why people bother to hack the system like that... there was one guy who managed to get #1 GM on the NA servers with over 300games won 0lost before he was banned..

    What sucks more is that Blizzard doesn't give a damn about the cheaters playing on their servers.

    Yea... Battle.net is actually superior to any other online gaming service when it comes to cheating/hacking. By far. Always has been and only getting better. What are you basing your statement on? Because they can't magically keep every hacker in the world out of their system 24/7 they don't care? Or because they can't find a single hacker within a day in a userbase of millions they don't care? I'm guessing one of those.

    I mean if you use the hack because you wanna have a top spot on the ladder, people are gonna notice. And if you don't then what's the point?

    Yep. I'm also curious where the hell you got this idea- the fact that the top 100 on the ladder aren't hackers is proof that Blizzard is on top of it.

    Lol no, he was just playing Terran *IMBAIMBAIMBATROLLTROLLTROLL*

    But anyway... so that's the infamous drop hack people get accused of. Good to know, glad you reported him.

    MULE IMBA.  The force in which that MULE hit the mineral patch sent a shockwave through the internet causing me to disconnect.

    Does anybody know how these actually work? Do they send an overload of data? Do they come into your house and punch your graphics card?

    LiquidHuK got drophacked by a guy disguising as LiquidHaypro.  I found that amusing.
