Only now is it becoming apparent through community interaction and responses to hacking as well as videos popping up on youtube showing how easy it is to hack that the community is starting to realize how many hackers there actually are.
I think they don't have a first person cam or observer to keep the community ignorant to such things as it's a lot harder to see when someone is using a aimbot if they're doing torso hits instead of headshots, putting completely aside other hits.
I agree, there isn't enough being done. Even VAC is easily hacked around with google hacks and the community needs to start making a fuss out of this. PB and VAC both suck and are just tacked on ACs to make people feel safe in that their game is cheat free.
