Wait until the kid finds out he can do more then just wit hacks.

Actually the point is most of these guys aren't hackers. Just leechers. You shouldn't be "surprised this player figured out how to do it" because anyone can use hacks. It's easy to get access to these hacks if you know where to look. The majority of the people using wit hacks or hacking other iOS games for that matter don't know a single line of code. If a device ban is implemented then all these leechers will be clueless as to how to get around it. The question is, will the workaround to get passed a ban be as easy to leech from hackers as the hacks themselves?

In online games a realistic goal for a dev almost never be to stop hacking entirely, simply to minimize hacking. One such way is to make hacking more inconvenient so only the most determined individuals will do it.

EDIT: And for the record (I just read your other posts since I was curious why you have negative rep), it is highly probable that either you are

1. Lying about making the hacks <-- Most likely
2. Lying about not spreading the hacks if you actually did find the exploit yourself (the wit hack is used by many)

Of course it's 'possible' that you made the exploit yourself and then didn't share it, but someone else also discovered it and released it. But it's far more likely you just want to pretend. ^^

Among other things, the fact that you completely disregarded the possibility the cheater you referred to could be a leecher makes your claim to be a hacker all the more suspect. If you really are a hacker then I guess you're just out of touch with the hacking community where leechers run rampant often to the annoyance of the people who actually write the code.

Either way it's irrelevant. As I said, finding these hacks are easy, I'm sure Adam and Alex know where to look anyway so your help isn't needed (and if they don't know I'd be glad to tell them).
