I think that the first post u made answers your questions, the cheater had three cd keys. Pb can ban a key but cant stop people using another key, as with anything there are ways around it and some people do have the knowledge on how to do this, its unfortunate but a fact of life.
Yet with non pb enabled games cheating is rampant through out the game and the game dies quite quickly. yet punkbuster does stem the flow of cheaters and has sucess in trying to provide us with a longer shelf life in games
Stop and think your having a winge about cheaters yet punkbuster is the only safeguard that we have from them. A Cheater is a bit like a virus u have anti virus scanners but there are new viruses every day.
You dont post of to symantec and complain about the amount of viruses that are out there and what are they doing to stop people writing them..............or maybe you are the type of person that does :rolleyes:
so stop having a go about things which are out of your control, start helping peeps like pb achieve their aims and remember that sites like this one are here to help us not to hinder but untlimately a cheater is like a virus, until someone writes a game that is hack proof there will always be cheaters....so if u really wanna have a pop at people go attack the game companies for not providing secure code then go have a go at the cheat communities that exploit them and start helping peeps like this site instead of attacking them and slagging them off....maybe then you will also be doing your bit to make our communities hack free like the rest of us :D
