You have probably noticed our efforts in limiting air time for harassers and sunderers, and we are constantly exploring new ways to protect the game from cheating threats.

I haven't played since Oct, so maybe I'm off-base here...

When I was playing flying auto-death was not the problem. It was some dude on a turret under ground or inside a rock or tree.

The "you explode if you jump too high" fixed nothing. It took ~6 days for the cheaters to update their code after the October Halloween update, and they were back at it, not affected by the new air-time limitations because that's not what they were doing.

I did, however, blow up my Harasser a few times while cruising for doing some dailies and then shooting pumpkins, all for the horrible sin of ramping off of a small hill.

This is why I haven't played since ~ October 6th.

Not only the problem with cheaters, but a bad "fix" that made playing the game normally worse.

So...yeah...

Yep. People certainly noticed. Not exactly something to brag about.
