You misunderstood, I didin't mean SNF is the reason of hack noobs- I say high popularity/population doesn't always mean nice community and player base. So supporting Mirror matchmaking for higher Population/Popularity/E-sport blabla doesn't grant you excellent game play. What I mean is "Mirrors -> better SNF--> better/higher player base--. awesomeness --. yay ^^" is wrong in that matter.
Popularity, high sales, big player base is not a player's concern but Relic's/Sega's. So pls take the case from player perspective, arguments which underlines above mentioned themes sounds like a CM speaking on behalf of his employers.
It is much more likely that the amount of hackers increased due to the lack of counter measures by Relic, since there is no community manager, and the focus shifted to COH2.
I asked that question in "Get back Lynx to COH" thread noone responded; so if this is written in his job description why we suffer for months about the enormous amount of hackings? GR Fair Play was doing a great job but even they are overwhelmed cause it was a voluntary job, but there's someone who is paid for it. His absence can be counted by weeks, he was in charge almost a year or something, so? I can also share links in Facebook, chat in streams, it's not a hard thing.
