THIS. I feel like, if there are as many little cheaters as we all feel there is, this will end up hurting the legit players. Sure, you wont play against as many players but with a population this low, you may end up not playing against ANYONE. While the hackers are off getting missions back to back having a good ole time.
This and the cross matchmaking seem like game ENDING things tbh. We'll see how it goes but if it goes south, he entire population will go with it. Just like when G1 chose to do console.
