Problem with hacker on XBOX Live

[FlyinPenguin]

So, I hate hacking and cheating in anyway, shape, or form. If you can't earn a reward legitimately, you don't deserve it. Period. I don't care how "hard" the game is.

Apparently, not everyone feels this way. I ran into someone the other day playing a certain 360 game, who feels hacking is justified. I enter a game with them and It quickly became apparent they were hacking. I start questioning their methods and next thing I know they sabotage the game. I immediately report them for hacking.  Problem is, it did no good! A few days later and I still keep running into him. Now, every time I end up in a game with him my console completely locks up a split second before we win the game or as soon as I start to to argue with him and tell him I'm reporting him (again).

I'm not going to mention the game or person's SN here because they are quite malicious and I don't want to compromise my other accounts. If you PM me, I might tell you though.

Anyway, I have reported him several times now but nothing has happened. I'm just wondering if calling customer support will yield better results. They are closed for another few hours yet so I can't call them now. I'm just really getting pissed off at this situation. This person is clearly hacking and getting away with it. I guess I'm just venting, but also I would like to know if anyone has experience in this area? Will calling XBOX live support help rectify the situation or should I expect this to continue?

Well you realize that the person you're reporting isnt just going to be banned the second they get a report right...they probably have a huge list of reports to go through and investigate so it'll probably take a while before he gets banned, tbh I doubt calling them would do anything productive.

Also, you must be playing a pretty unpopular game to regularly run into 1 person...

Hacking? On XBL? Noooo.... over here on the PS3, our entire network gets hacked and account info jacked!

(Totally meant to rhyme)

The guy is probably laughing his ass off at the fact you're taking this seriously.

There are several reasons for hacking. For example APB was being hacked a lot because many players tried to destroy the game because they hated to company "Gamers First". While I don't hack myself, I am kind of glad of all the cheating on BF3, because it is punishing the idiot developers who made a crappy network code where servers actually trust the clients. Now their game takes a reputation hit and they deserve every bit of it. Too bad the players are also inconvenienced by this though.

Other players cheat as a way of trolling, because it's fun to piss off people like you. Those are usually the obvious ones.

Then you have people who cheat for the stats, I feel nothing but pity for anyone with so little self-respect for themselves.

Oh, and I don't give a damn about people cheating in single player games, and I guess you don't care about those cheaters either, but forgot to exclude them from you 0 tolerance of cheaters principle.

Well, "cheating" of any kid in single player game... I don't see a problem with that. Sngle player games are played by one person, so they should be in such a way this person can enjoy, no matter what is it.

As for MP, yeah, it sucks, because it spoild the game for the rest and frankly, I don't get the whole idea. Even if you play just to win, not for the playing itself, the win can't be really enjoyable when you cheated your way to it. I can understand cheating to get profit, but that's a bit different story.

As for reports, they take their sweet time with that, on all platforms and in all games.
