Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Wait, we still had likes on the old forums though.

I mean, feel even less bad for the volunteers, they literally volunteered to deal with it.

It seems the unbanning is going to be a gradual process rather than a mass unabnning as many formerly banned players are already back in game. Would have been nice if LO told us this would happen, but in the end, what difference does it make if they are unbanned now or when BE drops?

Dont feel too bad for them, its literally their job.

I hate to keep doing this to you, but its not the part where the player was able to cheat that he views as a failure, ibut rather the loss of the player. The actualy quote from the Q&A is : "I view banning as a failure; it’s not something to be proud of or to enjoy. We lost a player and it’s our fault when it happens."

No I get that. It just feels wrong to me to have an "APB Tournament" of sorts only to ban a ton of stuff actually found in APB. If you dont like a weapon or vehicle or whatever you dont have to use it. But to say others cant, just feels like sour grapes.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a cheater in PUBG.

You may or may not be right about that. I have not seen any studies on cheater recidivism rates. That being said, if BE catches someone cheating and bans them, its not like rerolling will do them a lot of good anyways if they continue to cheat. He isnt against banning, he views banning as a failure. Meaning he feels that when a player is banned, he has also failed. That has nothing to do with context. Frankly I think its great to have a CEO thinking "Other than an anti-cheat, what can I do to persuade players not to cheat"

He stated that he sees banning as a failure. There is also the fact that his solution to handle dethreating is not to necessarily punish dethreaters, but to make gaining and losing threat a much more gradual (slow) process. So Im thinking his attitude is more on the side of it also being partly his job to create an environment where people are less likely to engage in behaviour that gets them banned. Which is good I think. Though yes, he has not commented specifically on whether or not cheaters will be allowed to reroll.

Given Matts stance on banning, I would be shocked if IP / HWID blocks became a thing.

Yeah, he literally says he doesnt have a date for it.

I get where you are coming from, I really do. But if the price of APB's success is getting cheaters to stop cheating, rather than banning them and having them quit the game, I for one am willing to pay.

Matt has stated that he views banning as a failure. I think it comes down to what you would rather have, revenge or success. Because sometimes you cant have both.

Yeah, I stopped even using Adv Launcher til he said it was ok. Im with you, Im not doing anything that isnt expressly stated as being ok. Really hoping all these things we are discussing are going to be actual in game options.

Ahh gotcha. Yeah you right.

Just curious @Lixil, but are the new GMs and Forum Mods volunteers or LO staff? Just curious cuz the application process for these positions hasnt started so Im wondering if some players were given the posts anyways. Also, how are you today? (my momma always said it pays to be polite)

I get where you are coming from. But if they both allow it to be possible and tell you its not allowed, when you get banned for it you have no one to blame but yourself. But yeah, I'd like to see a statement that the spint and crouch shit is ok to modify.

I think you'd be ok doing that, would more or less be echoing what Matt said.

This actually made me shoot coffee out through my nose this morning you silly person.

I understand why you would want to keep disliking anonymous. But I kind of miss being able to see who it is that liked or gave other positive feedback to a post. Not a big deal of course, just something I wanted to bring up.

These folks are on fire! Keep up the good work!

Bro's relax. Matt is currently looking to upgrade the hamsters. Shit takes time, you now?

Im good for about 1 decent suggestion every 6 months.

What if you buy something and then LO raises the price? How would you feel about getting a bill for the difference?
