US311 Don't waste time playing on this one (hacking/duping)

[crockett (DayZ) 41]

I decided to play on US311 last night as the server I had been playing on was being pretty damn laggy, I needed to build up a char & this severer had a good ping for me. I was half way to N/W airfield when I joined this sever, so I continued my journey getting my self kited out pretty well. (my best kit to date to be exact)

I noticed something odd, that this server was set to reboot every 4.5 hours and while I was at N/W airfield there was an obvious dupper tent set up with not much of anything good but a crap-load of AKM mags..I continued on my way and as luck would have it I managed to step on a rock and apparently break my neck dying instantly.. (yey real life-like random events in Dayz >:( )

Ok so I now have to start over & spawn near Cherno.. first thing I see is pretty much every military spawn point as well as the store have wire strung all over them as well as sandbag walls.. I manage to get around a few and get some needed things and along the way I find a Dirt Bike that runs but needs a little work on the hull. I scavenge around a bit find a toolbox & the needed parts as well as a few jerry cans that I fill up.

I decide maybe Elekro is better option as someone had obviously spent far too much time spreading out wire & sandbags all over Cherno. I stash my bike in the woods and head down into Elektro..get a few needed med supplies and just looking for a tent at this point.

Much the same as Cherno, this city has also come under the attack 12 year old boys with too much time on their hands. The store in Elektro must of had literally 50 bails of wire just strung every possible direction. Making it impossible to even move inside the store if you removed the ones blocking the entrance. I had to remove 10 bails of wire just so I could walk around the main store front area and I couldn't even attempt to move into the back stock rooms. (they have strung wire not only to block the entrances but all over the inside of the buildings so you can not move around)

I was like ok.. well I got just about everything I needed this server is lame but "hey" I have a dirt bike so lets go make best use of it, so I start running back out of Elektro only to have a script kiddie tele-port on top of me and kill me. (perfect ending to a really shit server)

It would be one thing if these guys had went around collected the needed supplies to place the bails of wires/sandbags by collecting the items. It would be lame to do it non the less, but hey at least they would have had to spend some time to do it. Not these guys however as their server is set up specifically just to dupe items with 4.5 hour server reboots and each store/firehouse had duping tents set up that they obviously used to get so much wire/sandbags.

Anyway I figured I'd give fair warning to people to avoid this server as it's not worth any effort of actually playing on, other than going in & harassing them. Also is there anywhere to report these kind of servers that are obviously set up just to dupe items, as no legit server reboots every 4 hours.. This is the 2nd server I've come across that reboots every 4 hours for nothing other than obviously duping items. These servers should be banned from the hives IMHO..
