Bring Back the Old Punkbuster System

I know that many people here have had many problems with the new punkbuster system. Although it does a better job of catching cheaters, it also kicks a lot of honest players. For me it's gotten so bad that I can't even play on my favorite servers anymore. I've tried finding solutions but I can't. In all honestly this is just insane. During all the time I've played PR I have never run into a single hacker.
I just want to hear from the rest of you if you want to keep the new punkbuster system or go back to the old one.
PS. Sorry I don't know how to start a poll.

Thank god that you don't know how to make a poll
Anyway, I've had no MD5 problems so far, only PnkbstrB Communication failures, but that's not PR's problem (it's solved anyway). So I vote no, keep the current system, a lot of xfire buddies don't have problems as well.

what? if its gone there will be less lag and server issues. nobody cheats on unranked servers anyway because there is nothing to gain, and if anyone bothers to DL a large mod such as this jsut to cheat deserves to be blacklisted..

People still cheat. W/o the MD5 Shader thing enabled, people who cheat will be at an advantage because they do not have to deal with the suppression system.

oh rly? Here is a small list of hackers caught playing PR with hacks.
are you happy? you probably play against hackers more times than you think, and many people turned off the shaders as it was such a easy thing to do, i mean just joining though xfire did it and most ppl join servers though xfire, i know i use to alot before the new exe came out.

Most naive statement I've ever heard. Just recently we had a big issue of players turning off the suppression shaders (Which is one of the reasons why I think the MD5 checks exist now). If you think people don't cheat, think again.

Wasn't there a screen shot from last summer of the command asset hack, where it was raining Vodnicks on a PR server?
You want to set up your own server and run w/o PB be our guest, but I won't be playing there.
