As for not wanting to be targetted by dc hackers, that's actually not a very valid excuse, as finding out who lead an Empress run should be clear through questions in the appropriate channels, as well as just looking at the damned shop lol. It wouldn't be hard to find out who killed her. I'm just as confused about why they hid their ign's as the next curious guy.
I know what hes talking about. It's been discussed more than once.

No, I already illustrated how this is a premature conclusion from you. And how you could clarify exactly what you mean by Chinese hackers in many other terms. You've been told that you sort of offend people with the misnomer and it has no basis for it's accuracy yet you insist on it's use? It actually means less to GMS players than if you used a more universally descriptive term for the exact behavior (i.e. gold farming bots, etc), which is how you determine a "Chinese hacker". Not by actually finding out that they are in fact, Chinese. It's the name you've given them and it's how you relate them to us. My complaint is that it is a poor relation. It doesn't tell us anything about what exactly they are doing. They could be Chinese, hell they could all be Chinese, and it wouldn't change that. Chinese hacker doesn't mean anything to us. It doesn't actually clarify anything about these hackers. It only builds a stereotype. Personally i'm curious as to the specifics of the behavior but I get from you is the repeated insistence that they are chinese and doing chinese-esq hacking with the sole basis seemingly being kind of weak anecdotes.
