The difference is that because PB updates itself regularly the PB spoofing apps get detected quite fast. But yes, spoofing MAC addresses & HD serials is quite easy.

atm all spoofers( public ) are detected. If you use hw spoofer, PB should kick you for Inadequate/Insufficient OS privileges or PB Hack. ETPro could use a separate file for ac so updating would be possible without complete ETPro update.

Yes but evenbalance is a company, etpro team doesn't have those resources. Who will host all those downloads of updates for them?

The bigger lack of resources is time... And, it seems, mostly my time :/

etpro.anime.net?

Obviously we need to integrate a BitTorrent client into the server so everyone will help spread the load of the downloads!

Yes but who will pay all the bandwidth once you start hosting a lot of upgrades to the anti-cheat code?

cdap.net can host it.

I'm sure we could find a hundred hosts/mirrors if necessary, but that doesn't help much unless you have a bottle of compressed time for Zinx and the other etpro devs.

The argument that current ET is unskilled is just utter horseshit. Just look at the difference between the top teams, the run-of-the-mill teams, and the average etpubber. If there weren't skill in ET, then the only difference would be those who knew the game mechanics and those who didn't.

It sound like madscientist wants a different game, where everyone is super accurate under all conditions. To him, that is somehow the peak of skill I guess. That's nice, but it ain't ET.

Amen.
