Hi Thunda, thanks for your response. Like you implied, they don’t have to do anything and still make bank even with all the flaws.
Despite the flaws (intentional or not) he still has his job. Do you think the stockholders (or whoever he answers to) are aware of his performance to the detail of understanding the existing flaws in the game including fly/teleport hacking?
I think the game being sabotaged intentionally and yet still making a boat load of money are not mutually exclusive. He must be competent to some degree to have obtained his current position, right? That would lead me to believe he is competent enough to walk a fine line and be able to intentionally sabotage what could have been a fun game without entirely losing the player base or sub numbers. No doubt that plays a big role in the lack of banning (or even addressing in some cases) gold buyers and sellers, teleport and fly hackers, etc.
FWIW, I don’t think GM’s or CS reps write the code to fix things like fly/teleporting hacks server side (probably devs) - but I might be wrong.
