I will agree that I have been seeing more of this lately, and it is kind of annoying.

The problem is that it's pretty hard to tell (especially if someone is increasing their speed incrementally). Tests on the players speed would have to be done, in which case they could always turn off whatever they're using and pass. They could also always just outright refuse to take the test, since nobody can really force anyone to do something like that on graal. A speed detection system was implemented a while ago which was doling out false positives, rendering it ineffective.

I personally wouldn't trust many "known" sparrers and PKers to police it, since ego and blah blah blah gets in the way. I'd rather have Admins spectate spars relatively often and see if anything is fishy. I know I've reported the really obvious speed hackers (flying across the arena in a second) to admins and they've gone unnoticed about 85% of the time.

I'm stumped on the whole issue, honestly.
