Aion in Russia has Gameguard.
Lot of Games have anti hacks systems.
Yes and they may slow you down, cause significant issues and refrain you from using more than one client while your every day cheater bypasses it (just like you could bypass it).
If the logs even show these information to the support. If they do that would be nice.
In RU they use Frost and not Gameguard. It's an inhouse developed protection software that it works quite nice. It's not like gameguard crashing and slowing everything, and while everything in this world can be bypassed, this so far isn't bypassed by your average kids developing these known cheats for Aion. Probably another reason for why the game is empty on official RU.
What logs? Either this data seems too big to be kept for one player, and imagine many thousands of players playing for many hours every day for weeks or a month, or they do keep the logs for a while but there is no tools for it to analyze it. If there were tools, we wouldn't have seen people cheating for years straight. Some keep their cheats private and only do it in their solo instances, away from others to see it. It's been happening since 1.x. Some are doing it since then and some got discovered only because of their mistake, greediness or a live and experienced GM watching and finding that something is fishy. Good for them there are no more live GM's in this game nowadays. And if there are no tools, why keep the logs that are not useful? And if there were official tools, they wouldn't have needed aidps in the past or myaion dps in the present to catch cheaters.
It's obviously a subject that is way over their heads and don't know how to grab it. My only disappointment with this, after all this blah blah with legal matters and naming and shaming, which is a normal and generic defense response, is that they still show no real interest for it and only reacting to the community. We were not even once assured that the players listed will be investigated or looked into it, and other things like that. Some of them, like the top list, are blatantly doing it and not ashamed to admit it to friends. Some left legion on their own, knowing their guilt. It's been happening for a long time (years) and nothing was done about it, and the damage snowballed day after day. Today you do it for getting a piece of gear, ahead of others, tomorrow you do it to win a dredgion, the day after you win a ranking spot and remove a legit from there, after that you win altar with your transform and top dps for your legion and so on. I can't comprehend this lack of long term perspective and the damage that it can be done.
Anyway, I propose this should be moved to another thread and let Livo post his updates.
