From FM merchants that try to extort mesos to people who are just jealous they weren't invited. However, our last held run we made it all the way to PB with 22min remaining w/out any d/c problems because we kept it so secretive and made sure nobody talked about it to anyone. Not even in their own guilds. We only had a couple people who had trouble due to vista/win7 and the autobanning problem has yet to effect us. The only problem on our run was a mistake on the leaders part before the run even started that hindered us from being able to test our real experiment out during the last phase.
Even though we're now ready to retest it, we've lost alot of people who have quit/hacked/wrongly banned. PB is completely killable even with vista/win7 problems and D/C hacks still around. Just have to know how to handle each problem..
The last run was kept rather secretive too, I was surprised to find out about DC hack ransoms.
It's funny you pointed out that PB is killable with those problems, because, duh, why would they have tried had they already known of their failures? Sure there's this reason and that reason, but truth be told, it was possible in many regards. The real issue came down to only that malicious autoban, really.
