Why isn't cheating in online games punishable by law?
Cheating in sports isn't punishable by law is it? Unless you're doing it to manipulate betting odds. You tend to just get punished by whatever association runs the sport; this could be likened to having your account suspended or terminated.

If more players did boycott games that where not policed enough then game companies would be forced to start policing more since they loose money. My main reason for quitting wow last time was after doin 2 bg´s where it was me and 2 others who where playing rest just stood at the entrances.Chet, I'm not going to defend people that cheat - though even I have in the past. I've jammed a coin to keep my jump key pressed down and afk'd while collecting the Typhoon glass. But...... I'd far rather our courts were doing something useful rather than tracking down users that may or may not cheat (it's #sometimes# a matter of interpretation). As MMO's are multi-national how to you get a global standard of policing for MMO's?
IMHO it's down to the Game Owners and players to police these things and to punish as they see fit (for instance Eve has a history of macro-miner ganks and DAoC has a history of small children whining that it's not far that someone else has something they don't).

Well i dont want to waste time, we actually waited 10 min before doin anything, then the 3 of us went out and won a 5vs0 game. since thoose on the oposite side didnt do anything to stop us. And the system blizz added where you could flag someone via map dont work you either have to waste time or quit bg and not be able to join another one for a while since you are flagged a deserter. Would anyone pay to see a hockey match if there where only 3 playing on the ice while the rest just hang around booths?Why were you and the other 2 doing it? Just stand at the entrance with everyone else til they all do something? Part of me wants to be harsh and say it's your own fault for carrying on when those lot just stood there and got whatever it is for no effort. Much as I hate Blizzard I can't see how it's their fault in this instance.

forum monkeys on the official forum saying lol get proper antivirus lol
Umm?
Is the AM password the same as the game password in Eve? Been a while and I'd forgotten that. Still it's a provider issue and you should raise it with them. As long as they don't go down the stupid "what are the 2nd, 8th and 14th characters of your super special secret word" route.
But is there that many hack attacks against EvE accounts tho?
I haven't seen that many of them, granted i don't troll the EvE forums anymore...
I mean, it just doesn't seem worth it other then to get their hands on any eventual ISK as most of the other assets are usually spread out all over the universe, and getting to it all is a right pain in the arse, and it's in the other assets most of the real ISK is tied into...
... and it fucking hurt my 1 braincell.
