But it doesn't even make any sense to steal hardware! how would you propose to do it in the first place?
I hack in my pyjamas from the comfort of my own home. You can't expect me to actually go outside rummaging through dustbins in the middle of the night looking for SE info just to gain entry into a Factions building so I can risk losing everything I have for a few small scraps of electronics (I can't carry that much and our technology isn't that advanced so I imagine that the servers are roomsized) when I can just as easily install virii on those same servers and earn the HPD to upgrade my own servers with? without the hassle of stealing hardware I can just as easily pay somebody else to do it for me riskfree
