my guess is that the solution hasn't been figured out yet, unless it's just waiting under backlog.
i see one problem with the current situation: teamNF knows that op con is messed up, but is allowing it to continue for now. he says it will be fixed by retail. however, until it is fixed, people can easily abuse it, due to retreaters leaving the game as a 10v3.
now here's the final problem. even though they know there's a problem that can be exploited, and they know that it will be fixed later rather than sooner, they are allowing people to keep their full sailors/exp/credits/points at retail.
stopping the cheating before retail hits IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, if cheaters get to KEEP THEIR STUFF. if there was a server wipe at retail, then it's fine to fix the cheat before retail. if people are allowed to keep their stuff, what does that effectually encourage?
i'll tell you. it encourages everyone to cheat now, before it is fixed. and that is a twisted message. who will start new at retail when they know cheaters were allowed to have an advantage for several months?
