Yes, because that gamerdoc guy kept posting that stream publicly on twitter to make it bad PR for Blizz. Blizzard doesn’t ever do this sort of thing proactively.
Yeah see?? They still did something right?
How accurate do you think a anti-cheat system can be? Especially when people can easily build upon it?
They only do something if someone with enough clout/following makes a big stink out of something. They will ignore you otherwise.
For starters, they could have something to catch a pixelbot. These have very specific aim/quirks, like the CherrySoda#11247 guy posted in the thread I posted on the forums.
Full replay so people understand this isn’t just “lol packet loss”, there’s a lot smaller easily missable pixelbot snaps.
You aren’t supposed to post others names in the forums it’s against code of conduct.
Also, like I said. The system cannot be 100% accurate it’s why there is a email to the hack team.
The emails don’t work. hacks@blizzard.com is a spam folder no one reads. We’ve also sent in the payment processor links to common cheats and Blizz hasn’t DMCA’d them once in the months they’ve been up.
I wouldn’t be naming players that are botters on the forums, unless Blizzard has explicitly been ignoring emails and support tickets.
Where is your accurate information declaring this? MVPs actually can also confirm it’s used and it’s active
You’re kidding right? I’ve sent in numerous closed and shut cases that even gamerdoc’s owpd has reported on, and these people still terrorize the ladder. I’ve even sent in btags from the cheat seller advertisement streams and clips they post on discord and they’re still playing months later on the same account.
The fact that guy in the clip above is still playing even a day later means they’re ignoring reports and emails.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the hacks@blizzard.com email runs as a whitelist, so only employees or people close to blizzard actually get seen, but so they can “technically” say it still gets looked at.
Literally no one outside Blizzard has access to that.
This is their cases they need to solve not yours.
Not all reports can be read, and again. You don’t know what punishments are given if your report was read.
Whatever you want to believe is your choice. But if I had just read today about a MVP providing the exact same email for hackers and cheaters it’s clearly still active. I’m not too sure where your information is coming from about the email not being active. But regardless it’s best to not spread false information.
Even if some cheaters you report don’t get punished, there is no official evidence that the Email shutdown.

It’s not a one-off. If they’re having issues with keeping up with managing hacks@blizzard.com, it’s persistent. That’s the issue that’s crossed the threshold. There’s been enough cases where I can tell you if they are reading it, that it’s a very minor fraction at most, effectively acting like a spam folder.
Forum mvps are not employees they are just players like you and me with a higher trusted status. They can not confirm that anyone looks at the emails. They give the email because that is the only thing set up to do currently. Maybe you dont realize but that email also covers ALL blizzard games.
Often things get overlooked in the official email (as has been proven in the recent past with blatant aimbot on this actual forum). The solution is NEVER to post player names but lets not pretend support is somewhere they maybe are not.
I would love to believe that hacks@blizzard is super efficient and works perfectly it has been proven otherwise but its also the only avenue players have to report cheating.
