FD state there are not many cheaters, and of course, a lot of cheaters will not be stupid enough to play in open. On the old cheat forums the hackers specifically advised people not to use the cheat in open.
However, based on reactions from some, its like everyone is encountering cheats on a regular basis. Its why i've referred to this as hysterics in some posts i've made, because people are now behaving like there is some sort of cheat epidemic going on.
The cheat devs of one cheat have apparently closed their doors, and they already went dark last year after FD shut down their cheat at that time. I understand there are other cheats out there, i was aware of a paid for one some time ago, not sure if that is still there (not looked). But its not unlikely there are not many cheaters. And after all, i think most of us are people who don't like cheating and won't cheat right?
Just to make this clear, i'm looking for response from people who are fairly certain someone was using a hack. I'm not talking about people who used exploits (like the 5/1 exploit), i'm not talking about people who combat log (through task kill), and most definitely not talking about things that some people call cheats but are not according to FD (menu log). I mean things like infinite shields/hull/weapons/etc.
If you are 100% certain you encountered a cheater, then say that. If you think you maybe encountered someone using a cheat, but can't be sure, then say so (maybe there was lag or something? You're going to have to judge your own level of certainty). If you were destroyed in a few seconds by someone and can't believe it happened without cheating, it can happen without cheating, so don't assume that was a cheater, its was probably just a ganker with a meta loadout.
Personally i can't say i have, but there again, i haven't been in combat with another player for.... hell, a year perhaps?
EDIT: damn, should have said, let's not count Mr Protest Guy, i think lots of people saw him, and i think its fair to say, regardless of what you think of his methods, he went out of his way to be seen.
Also, another point, because i guess someone will mention it, yes there could be cheaters affecting people indirectly playing the BGS or PP from Solo/PG, and yes, they probably could be getting a bit of an advantage there (doing direct jumps to systems people might have to take 2-3 jumps to to do PP actions or do missions), but that's not what i'm asking about here, i'm talking about direct encounters.
