Oh we have a point you just do not want to lose the advantage. I have no problem with passworded servers they just need to have seperate stats and saves, so yeah do what you want on your server. This mod changes the rules a bit on this aspect. For instance having your own regular arma 2 server or CSS server or TF2 or BF3 does not give as much of an advantage as the potential advantage in Dayz. Here is a silly WoW analogy, you get on your private wow server and with no competition other than simple easy to kill AI you get full top tier arena gear, then you go back to a normal public server and joing the BG's , fair? no.

Well its good to hear that their mass exploits have helped speed up figuring out how to stop it.

Never mind that these passworded servers will now easily know all the possible helicopter and vehicle spawn locations. Though I would imagine that becomes public knowledge soon enough. Separate note: I am seeing the swapping servers for loot definitely abused, I play on the same server and I have been casing the NW airfield I am there 20-30 minutes multiple times and never hear any shots and see fresh dead zombies, (from players spawning in more likely than crossbow or SD) and all loot is missing, people are just zoning in and looting and zoning to another server.

Yeah that post was in public, but they have their private forum where they have said they post other stuff for members only concerning dayz mod.

So basically there in one single post is an admission of 20 LLKJ members Duping. "Even when there were 20 goons on the server out of 50 random pubbies and we were all using the backpack dupe exploit to get decked out with DMRs and MP5SDs and NVG and vehicles people were still getting picked off all the time." and "especially when you realize how easy is is to dupe items or download hacks for the lovely Arma engine" And just what do you think clan member do for 20-30 minutes on a passworded server? lol This stuff is what will ruin the mod.

Here is the post from today. 'PUNCHITCHEWIE The really charming thing about this game is how being in a big awesome clan doesn't really prevent you from going back to square one at any loving second. Even when there were 20 goons on the server out of 50 random pubbies and we were all using the backpack dupe exploit to get decked out with DMRs and MP5SDs and NVG and vehicles people were still getting picked off all the time. Not to mention all the goons? who have been lurking in mumble to hunt other goons. This is a game lets a new explorer who just started 30 minutes ago and happens to head north end the progress of people with high level cooperation, knowledge and gear. I've never seen that before in any game, and it creates so much tension and atmosphere. The possibility of chaos and death and poo poo devolving to every man for himself is always there no matter how much you play, and despite many game companies claiming this mechanic this is the first one that pulled it off. This game gets really lovely in the late phase, especially when you realize how easy is is to dupe items or download hacks for the lovely Arma engine, but is sure has broken some kickass new ground."
