It can be annoying when players do this, but it is pretty tough to enforce rules like this, even with the 10 minute between mission kicks, players who willing choose to waste slots and not play will just ignore the mission and continue with what they are doing. It really just comes down the the willing choice they make to join the only populated district and mess about rather than do missions. Sad as it is, not much can be done as I see it.

Gifting was removed because too many people were using charge backs on throwaway accounts, sending stuff to their mains, and it took too much time and effort for LO to deal with all the investigations and punishments for those responsible.

OP Post TL:DR Summary, [gam bor lel fix pls.] For anyone who didn't want to fully read all the well thought out and constructive criticism.

I second OP, LO devs need to start instantly banning anyone who is ever called a cheater by anyone, just to be safe. We can even give it a funky new name, call it FairFight or something. Broadcast the bans in district chat so we know that guy who killed us a couple times was totally a cheater.

Prime example of that ego apb players get.

Just about every streamer does this, can you be banned? Sure. But you can actually be banned for almost anything you do in game, due to the TOS. Will you be banned??? I highly doubt it. No one else has, why would you.

APB will always have that problem, especially with a lot of newer players who haven't been around for more than a year, they just don't have the experience or time to understand all the nuances of the mechanics in the game. Players see someone "flick" shot and they cry 180 snap, aimbot, players get spotted by the mod, and they cry wallhacks, players get outaimed by someone who has more talent then them, and most likely has played the game since 2009, and they scream, he must be cheating. Players get used to playing low skill / casual players, and they are opposed against a team of competitive experience players of a higher skill level, and bam, once again, they must be cheating. The size of the game causes a lot of players to develop a massive ego, in a game so small, everyone pretty much knows everyone, or at the least has seen them around, or played them once. Even some of the players who have been around since 2009 have absolutely zero self awareness and have never even taken the time to even think that some players are just better than them, in their minds, they are the best, and everyone else must be cheating. This game really does not have a very big cheating problem, I cant even remember the last time I felt cheated in this game. What everyone needs to do is sit down, have a glass of water, take a deep breath and get over it. On a final note, if you really think someone is cheating, shut up about it, report it if you want, and just play the mission. Win or lose, it doesn't matter, One of the most important things I ever learned was that you will never improve in anything you do in life if you don't constantly challenge yourself. That works in every aspect of your life, YES, even in a video game, I'm not going to stand on a pillar and call myself the greatest player to ever touch the game and stroke my own ego, but I will say that I definitely got better from playing some of the blatant cheaters in this game, and learning how to fight top tier players. Going AFK and logging out against better players, or "Cheaters" only hurts your overall skill level in the long run. Every time I get the chance to play good players, I take full advantage of it, because lets face it, it doesn't happen every day, and every chance is a learning opportunity. TL:DR - Take it with a grain of salt, use the challenge as an opportunity to get better.

Such a dumb idea. Lets reward idiots who cant aim, with a gun that kills faster than anything else and requires zero effort to use. It was bugged when it was released, and the only reason it wasn't fixed is due to Gamers First and their toxic money grubbing history of behavior. They knew it was broken, and they also knew that every trash player and silver with a credit card would buy the absolute crap out of the Joker Boxes just to get it. The gun works fine now, it does however require you actually have the basic ability to place your cross-hair over the enemy when you press mouse one. I swear the amount of bad players begging for free kill weapons is insane. Let me guess, would you also like the True Ogre to be able to two shot since its technically a double barrel weapon? While we're at it, why not just add kill-streak rewards to the game like COD, call in the attack chopper for some more free kills.

Yikes

lol

Tbh when Gamers First took over APB from RTW, They took a lot of features out, in favor of the micro transaction model, such as trading money, weapons ect. I see account wide currency as a good thing tbh.
