Humans everywhere (mostly in the US from what I've noticed) have a massive lack of care for anyone who isn't themselves. The online community in and of itself is probably the absolute worst, its toxic and horrible on any online game or forum page, anywhere a person can make a post, be it in text or an image, people are going to be aggressive/dishonest if it means they can feel better about themselves or get ahead of someone else. I've come to think of it as "survival of the fittest" so to speak, where if a person thinks they can benefit from something, regardless of how underhanded it may be, they'll do it. I've played FFXI, FFXIV, TERA and a few other MMOs over the years and have noticed the same exact behavior in every single game, and it gets worse and worse in PvP/P2W games. But at the end of it all, I think to myself that their real life must be complete and utter shit if they feel better about themselves for acting the way they do towards others.

On the note of Immortals hacking, we just had a match where we got decimated by them in similar fashion as you described. We could barely take out a single one of their defense teams before we dropped like flies. We're not a weak Union either (we're actually in the top 25 as of this post) we're probably mediocre but we kept getting killed within seconds of moving up to the frontlines against them. I remember I moved up myself and my HP dropped from 100% down to about 30% before the 5s timer was even STARTED. Our entire union was pissed and irritated over the loss, but we didnt think we were going to win against them to begin with, we just didnt expect to see that bad of a loss.
