Most of the time people think someone is hacking is because of lag, there are not many hackers compared to how many people who are actually playing when that is said, there is one form of cheating that has been way out of hands since the very beginning and that is boosting your stats/rank with multiple profiles. I was ranked nr 1 Alisa in the world on Tekken 6 psn but then suddenly i noticed players with insane stats that moved up that ladder so quicly that it had to be some kind of cheating involved so i took a look at their profile and watched their latest matches and all they where doing was getting free wins with their cheater buddys secondary profiles.
Edit: I lost that nr 1 rank because of it and it really sucked after all that time i spent to rightfully earn that nr 1 rank, this is happening in every competative online games out there pretty much, most of the players on those top rankinglists are cheaters.
It's going to be better though in the times a head, xbox has done it for years but to actually have to pay for a subscription and to pay for one profile at a time will stagger the boosting you see on the ranking lists but it will never prevent it though. Only way to fully prevent cheating is if the developers are going 100% inn for it and to have some sort of a system that will monitor the top 500 players or something like that and remove them from the ranking list permanently if they are caught cheating, this will never happen though because to few people cares about ranking at all and the cost to have people to monitor the top players would be to high and not worth it for the company.
