Thats where your wrong. Most golds did it and to this day continue to do so. There are people who have been playing longer then I have who are bronze and green threat as we speak. This is by choice and they dont try to threat up, which means they are throwing games. Green threat doesnt exist in the game nobody is naturally that bad. Youve been here since 2019? Ive been playing since 2011 and didnt join the forum till 2014. Dethreating used to be awhole lot more blatent then it is now but it still goes on and LO doesnt enforce its own TOS so dethreating will continue.

as iv sayd - there will be people that will move from gold to silver - let them do it let them!!!!!!! rest who r tryhards/hardcore and value the GOLD status and them names, will stay GOLD as the MOST of cheaters will be GOLD.  we had 1200 in september - ok 400 of them r golds  let them play along in golden district - REST of a players color can play together!!!!! LET THAT BE  - its GOOD idea!!!!!

Green? Do they play 1 mission, then go afk for the next 100? Seriously, green is much harder to hold than bronze if they're actually participating in the missions.

Exactly. Its harder to get green then gold and to dethreat that far requires dedicated match throwing. To dethreat that far is nothing short of ruining gameplay for others.

For quite a while there with BattlEye, I basically saw no cheaters on Jericho. I only ever saw like two people that I was able to confirm triggerbotting, even though it was still possible to code these.

A big reason for this is because AutoIt and AutoHotKey used to be blocked. They're usually what people use for those kinds of cheats.

 

I understand AHK has legitimate uses, but I would rather see these two scripting languages blocked again. Its a simple change that would help a ton.

Attention Players!

If you see the message:

"Your account has been temporarily locked while customer support is making changes to it. (Error code 10023)"
This means your account has been banned by SARD for the use of prohibited third-party applications (TOS violation). We’re aware that the wording of this message is unclear and are working to fix it.

Please keep in mind that these bans have been applied fairly, so there’s no need to reach out to customer support.

Thank you for your understanding!

Translation: "We believe our AI-driven anticheat is so perfect, that it cannot false ban an account. As such, we will not hear out any appeals for any reason."

 

Shit like this is why people can't take LO seriously.

No shit. They purposely put that message to be vague. They could have shown the generic ban code, or even better, not banned the account at all and instead generate a customer support ticket to look at it. I thought that's what they were going to do since they seem iffy about banning players to begin with.

 

Come on LO, at least be consistent. Then again, I guess random is technically consistent if the result is always random.

We had a localization issue which displayed the wrong message when an account was banned. The incorrect message told the player to contact customer support. But the last thing we need is everyone contacting customer support and overloading those folks. This is why Mage worded his post the way he did.

They worked on SARD for so long they didn't even give it generic-text for the Output Function. They just... had to go to bed after being up for so long.

May your next iteration be more solid.
