    I'm no WarZ player, but as an outsider it seems as if hackers are one of the biggest issues with WarZ, and I can see why. It must suck to spend a few hours getting good gear, then losing it to a speed hacker when there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Even if we had enough WarZ mods there would still be hackers and people would still die to them, so there needs to be another thing put in place.

    My idea is: if you die to someone, and that person gets banned in the next 7 days, you can do /retrieve to get the items back. If the hacker gives the gear to someone else or dies, when you do /retrieve, the items dropped by the hacker are destroyed and will be gave to the person who lost it in the first place.

    There could be some issues with this but I think they could be worked around, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the concept of it.

    The hacker could've killed multiple people, and therefore they may have multiple people's loot. This seems a little too difficult to do. But when there's a hacker, most mods try to tp the person that reported them or died to them to the logger so they get their loot back.

    What stops people from hopping on an alt, my friend in full diamond lets me kill him, then the hacker gives the loot back, hacker gets banned, then the player has 2 sets of full diamond?

    Stated it in the thread: any gear dropped by the hacker would get destroyed when the hacker gets banned.
    I don't think it would be much harder to do it with multiple people. As hackers are one of the biggest issues with WarZ right now, I think it would be worth it.

    You're suggesting that all items carried by anyone are tracked at all time? Not possible, and if it is, it would be very server intensive.

    Not something I considered. I have no experience with stuff like this, so I'm not sure how big of an issue it would be. If you have experience in this sort of area, do you know if it would be feasible?

    I'm afraid this just isn't very plausible but it's a nice idea and a concept I've thought about before. I think rather instead of a command that may not work, we have 2 systems in place:

    1. If you report a hacker and a staff member immediately comes on to ban them, the staff member should kill their PvPlogger and give the player who reported them, the stuff. If there are multiple claimants or multiple people who died recently, the staff member can sort that out.
    2. If you report a hacker at report.brawl.com, the player who submitted the successful report gets whatever stuff the hacker had in their inventory or ender chest at the time of their ban, to be handed out by a staff member at some later date. And for the problem of people getting loot who team with hackers, how about this? You are only eligible to be given loot after reporting a hacker if you haven't been banned for hacks or ridealong in the last 3 months.

    I love the idea, but it would be very hard to implement, a better solution would be more active staff who would just tp people back in and let them kill the pvploggers of the hackers.
