Whats different is LLJK wasn't incompetent enough like Templars in last strat. What happen to Templars wasn't a hacker, you guys promoted new players in your clan to high enough rank to unhire mercs. This is way different. If one of my guys was a sleeper spy and unhired all of our mercs, I would tipped my hat to him and the Coalition, since that is some nice espionage. But this is a breach of chadz's code and compromising of the database. I am just glad my heirlooms remain intact.
Actually, if memory serves, back when the Templars and their allies got screwed over there were no restrictions concerning who had access to hiring lists -- IIRC access by rank was added as a response to those incidents. All the "espionage" involved there was some undercover 22nd, DRZ or whoever getting accepted into the faction, and since the game was a lot more innocent then and it wasn't clear yet just what some people would do to be more "competitive", I really wouldn't call that much of an achievement. What happened to you is equally shitty, but I have to say that I'm pretty surprised to see you being such a dick about it.
Also, your account being compromised isn't the same as the database being compromised. Still, whatever level of vulnerability we're dealing with here, it's important to handle it ASAP. As far as rollbacks go, though, it was never done for incidents like this before, whether they were caused by bugs or cheating. I don't really see how this is all that different. Personally, I don't think a rollback is a bad idea, but if there's one now, then it means we need to start seeing a lot more rollbacks in the future whenever shit goes badly for somebody in an unfair way, even if it doesn't really break Strategus at large.
