Reports are coming in that nefarious players are using different ways to hack cooldowns and make them non-existent, and to hack Health and Mana in Black Desert in order to make themselves invulnerable. We've reached out to Daum Games, and received the following response...

I'm glad I don't care about this stuff. I'm still enjoying the game.
Well put. This is bad game design pure and simple. Camelot Unchained is doing their engine right so crap like this doesn't happen.
Yeah, I think client-side game mechanics died with the original version of Ultima Online. EverQuest had everything on the server. Some MMORPGs have since experimented with exactly what functionality could be leveraged on the client, but core game mechanics like cooldowns and attack timers have always been on the server (at least with NA developers).
it would mean more expensive for them, you know the stuft who are in everyone computer mean it less expensive for them and make a lesser load for the system they run ? pretty much all crappy asian f2p system do it this way because it less expensive for them....
but for their defence in asia and korean you need a korean citizen id for play, when you get banned it got more implication....
wonder what they will do, this would be a pretty big change for them, when you think they need change the core game system. when the east only got a translation and just some small change ?!
.. lol
will probably not happen, enjoy your ruined game honestly
I'm too old to believe this standard reply has any meaning.
Granted a lot of this is on bad design practices, that's still no excuse for wanting to cheat in the first place. I just don't understand what kind of satisfaction it brings to win because you cheated, bottom of the barrel is the only thought that comes to mind.

Kinda sad indeed that BDO didn't put this kind of stuff server side.
But now I'm starting to what's taking all the bandwith that BDO uses. I've monitored my system quite a lot while playing BDO and it's using between 5 and 10% of the bandwith my LAN has (100Mbps due to a switch). Hack, if my son or wife are watching YouTube movies I can't even stream internet radion normally any more (32Mbps/3Mpbs VDSL only here)
5-10Mbps is an aweful lot for a game to 'talk' with the server. Most other MMOs I've played came out around 1Mbps (or even lower).
Anyway, can't really be bothered at the moment about the hack. I've kinda overplayed BDO (almost 30 days active gametime since launch) and only log on for the event to get the bird. Might be active again next week or so...

So it's no surprise that so many people cheat in an attempt to improve their results. Of course, the more people cheat, the more the honest players come under pressure to cheat as well, simply to remain in the "average results" band...
I have'nt found anything related to any fix for this, outside of the reply from their PR similar to the one given by Daum here. But judging by the amount of hacks that still exists (not counting exploits that give an edge to the few who use them until they get patched), I don't think whatever they may have done was of much help anyways, so I doubt we will see much done from PA... and all Daum could do is ban the guilty ones... we will just have to wait and see if they have the balls to do it or not.
I didn't mean to say that no one who cheats has self esteem issues, more of a there are many different facets to that particular problem. Cheaters are frequently thought of as low self esteem people. I believe that sentiment is mostly trying to make the non-cheaters feel like they have done the right thing by not cheating and accounts for a tiny portion of the people who are actually cheating.
All joking aside, this never should have happened to begin with.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
However, I would agree that there are probably many reasons why people cheat.
