The reason i say that is not because the amount of hackers that play on public hives but because of what they have the ability to do on public hives. I might not have played on many public hives recently but on the servers i have played on, there's been thousands of battleships, hotels, and planes. There's usually a few jets, apache's, and tanks somewhere in that cluster f**k aswell. Anyway all of that is of course possible to do on a private hive but its a lot easier to do on a public hive since all of that has been released to the public and is in 5 out of 10 hacker's menus.
