I mean, that's what I think they should be called. You can call them "OP Super Cool Flying People" if you want, but all I am saying is that calling them "hackers" is not really alright anymore. The "hacker" title should be reserved for those who are doing actual hacking, like people who are IP grabbing and whatnot. Furthermore, imagine being called a hacker without doing anything that would even match the level of actual hackers? It's like being called a deity, which is why some people probably do it; i.e. they do it because they think it's cool.
So I call them what they actually are, cheaters. Nothing more, nothing less. On a relatively unrelated note, since you brought up crime, imagine "The Zodiac Killer"... that name is bloody cool. Like, why don't we just call them something not cool like "The Sissy Spoon Shanker" or something; it makes it seem like they are a stereotypical superhero movie villain. They aren't suppose to be cool as they've done bad things, and maybe the criminal even likes being called cool names which is why they keep doing what they do XD
