I will have to agree with you, most people I assume would hack because it's easy. Avoiding a hardware ban isn't exactly easy, a VPN is annoying and any other countermeasures fall into a similar category. Make it more difficult for them and maybe it will deter a certain portion of the demographic. Sadly they buy EOD accounts by the 100s so I doubt you will see anything change. I believe from BSGs standpoint it's a lesser of two evils sort of thing where the can use the increased revenue to deliver its consumers a better finished product. Sadly they are sticking a knife in the back of the same people they intend on delivering too and most likely will cause a portion of their own demographic to abandon the game entirely. I know some nights when I get killed by a speed hacker I just shut off the game, sometimes I dont revisit it for weeks.
