Personally, I don't think there's any easy way to handle stuff like this for the time being. Look @ D3 and the amount of problems they have had, even though they went out of their way to prevent things like that from happening. There will be something new that comes up once PVP starts, ect ect.
I do not want the law involved in my gaming, though, I know this much. I would much rather have to deal with a few jerks than worry about big brother breathing down my back every time I decide to cheat in my single-player game(it would happen). Creating laws will make no difference in the situation, and it would just further restrict what very few rights we still have, and giving even more power to large publishers like EA/Ubi/Acti.

I wouldn't mind them being able to fine people who do it excessively, with intent to cause major disruption, etc.
It really does hurt the longevity and profit of a game/developer/publisher.

It would obviously have to be a well defined, well administered system with an efficient method to find culprits and fine them a reasonable amount.
In other words, it will never happen anyway. rolleyes.gif

I'm kinda fine with people like you. Botting in online games (e.g. extensive farming) is something the game design is to blame for. There are only two reasons to bot:
1) Because it's an endlessly repetitive activity that requires you to play like a robot anyway.
2) to make tons of ingame money and potentially real money (chinese farmers).

1) Is the game's fault because first of all NO game should force you into a robot's routine - I'm looking at you MMORPG's, especially those Asian (well no, mostly Korean) ones.

2) Is also indirectly the game design's fault. ANY online game which is designed ground-up to revolve around getting as rich as possible (Runescape, Maple Story) and rewards you to sit 24/7 doing a robot's job in order to get rich (see point 1) has already shot itself in the foot and rolled out the red carpet for botters.

Treating a player like a machine will inadvertently make him/her use an actual machine to get the job done and is therefore terrible game design.

So yes, while botters can make me rage when I'm trying to sell something on WoW auction house...I can also thank them to keep the prices low (and more importantly stable) for when I'm buying things, so some insanely rich nutter can't price-jack everything through the roof.

FPS hackers however can burn in the deepest circle of hell.

BF3 does not require much grinding at all to get setups that are very competitive.

Yeah tanks really do not need anything but smoke to be effective. Jets dont need anything higher than rocket pods, choppers probably need the most.

I like how they are moving, cheaters get moved to a walled garden with only other cheaters.

Sort of like an "escape from new york" but for criminal gamers

I totally, completely, all inclusively, 100 percent, fully, thoroughly, utterly, wholly, and whole heartedly agree with you! As a matter of fact I just remarked to my butler the other day that "If you can cheat on your taxes do it, blame the law and not the law breaker. Paying your accountant to do it is just weak though." My butler responded "teehee."

Then I had him whipped for losing his composure rolleyes.gif

tl;dr: Just because you can get away with it doesn't mean it's okay.

Cheating is all about fulfilling a power fantasy. At the root of it all, no matter what reasons they give, I'm guessing that cheaters have a feeling of powerlessness in their real lives, and are frustrated with their situation. By cheating in an online game, they are given God-like powers over other beings, and are therefore "in control" of the situation. They don't want to play your game, they are playing another game entirely; they don't wish to work together to complete an objective, they just want to have power over you and your emotions, because that's the only sense of power they have in their "real" lives. This is all just based upon my observations and musings, and it could just be a product of my overactive mind trying to come up with a reason, or reasons, as to why someone would be so irritating.

tl;dr: cheaters have no power in life, so they try to find it elsewhere by exerting their will on others.
