Addressing Serious Hacking Issues

A few dozen? Where are your facts? Most players using roughly 3 websites? Where are your facts?

Yeah let me just prove god exists too while I'm at it! Asking for something so stupid just proves your cornered.

You don't think about:

How many possible websites are out there.
How many are strictly private.
How many people create the programs privately, never even bothering with a website.

Better question, why are those relevant? I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about traffic control, so the websites, which you happened to list, that are public are the ones that need to go because that's where the traffic comes from.

Private websites, private users, how much damage do they do? pineapple I bet you don't even know when they are actually hacking. When pomegranate get's public, by high traffic sites, dedicated to pomegranate like this, thats when roll backs happen, server goes down for maitinence, which costs them money.
How many websites aren't even in English.

How many aren't even located in the US. (Good luck trying to stop websites in other countries/languages)

Pretty sure Odin was located in Europe, but I'm not going to act like I understand international law in these circumstances. NexonEU maybe pushed to take action themselves but that's just an out of the air option.

Also making programs that aren't written in English, definitely limit's the amount of usage players can use on it. Sure some dillweed will eventually translate it but once again, that traffic is going to be limited.

List goes on.

Edit: Your plan of attack is pomegranate in this case, as it doesn't combat the -real- issues. Sure, you'll be focusing on the websites and programs themselves, but more spring up elsewhere and do the same pomegranate to the game as before since they haven't focused enough on improving the -game's- defenses.

Trying to go after the websites is an unrealistic method.

Uh, where did I deny strengthening defenses is the way to go? My point is, it isn't the only thing they need to do to solve this. As explained previously, being a sitting duck is just prolonging the inevitible. I would also like to mention your revenue argument also back firing on you.

You gave a hydra example of closing down these sites as well, which would only backfire on them further. You have even stated the websites revenue is based off these VIP plans, well I can gurrantee you, as a citizen with common sense, if several sites offering the same thing get closed down for the same reason, I'm going to be hesistant about buying a 3month VIP plan. Why? Because it may not even last 3 months, their solution? Lower the price? Well how low are you willing to go until your essentially putting up websites for free. Which a lot of people, from my understanding won't believe the effort is worth it.

Building up a decent defense in my opinion is mandatory, but that isn't gonna control pomegranate when you have hundreds of people attacking the same wall. Even if it's one at a time, eventually it's going to break.

And Eos, as I said before, I'm not in anyway saying a defense is completely useless, just not something to be dependent on.
