You sound like a pirate whos mad that he cant play online anymore. Either that or you're stupid.
First off, 'poor' pirates were able to hack for free with a simple .xml file edit in notepad. So your argument that pirates are too poor to hack is ridiculous.
Second, there are ALOT less hackers. I mean like 90-95% less hackers now because alot of the pirates WERE the hackers. They hacked because they couldnt get banned...and even if they did they could just make a new fake serial and account and hack again.
There are a lot of peole playing still. All the servers I join are always full. There is no issue finding servers to join EVER.
Seriously, stupid people who keep talking crap are only the pirates who cant play online MP anymore.
