Margravine 20 Posted July 28, 2018 I get the feeling there is a higher percentage of cheaters in APB than LO expected when they took over APB. Everyone knows APB has earned a horrible reputation due to the lack of effort G1 put into not only development but combating cheating. I suspect the majority of legit players have up and quit by this point, the rest of us have just become accustomed to the abuse and have accepted it as part of the APB experience. Everyone else can freely enjoy the game with their cheats because they're for the most part, playing other cheaters and are on a 'fair' playing field in that case. We all "know". We currently have community GM's who have experience playing the game and they "know", but as far as those of us still around can see, nothing is being done. That was the purpose of the FairFight announcements, that is what FFBANS gave to those who've continue to play legit, hope and a little satisfaction that the system, though broken - kinda works. I was hoping LO would be putting their foot down but I see the same max ranks God-Toggling when they get pinched. Too many matches being decided by who has the lowest TTK combinations. The weird "Locked" encounters. Same old, same old. 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AsgerLund 1271 Posted July 28, 2018 Could you quantify the percentage you are talking about? 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 90? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeronaut 647 Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) i like playing cheaters because it's like playing on extreme mode. also, there's nothing that me and my blowtorch with hunting sight 3 and quickfix 3 can't handle. edit: for clarification, talking about the ones that have played before and actually have common sense. not the ones that stand in the middle of the open and lock on. ...oops, I accidentally helped these casual cheaters to get 85% better.

Margravine 20 Posted July 28, 2018 I don't see any value in guessing at percentages. What I can tell you without a doubt you can go into any silver 40/40 district, play 5 games and end up matched against someone suspicious. 2 minutes ago, Aeronaut said: i like playing cheaters because it's like playing on extreme mode. also, there's nothing that me and my blowtorch with hunting sight 3 and quickfix 3 can't handle. not all of us have your freaky god hands 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slickmund 58 Posted July 28, 2018 Someone suspicious, I ended up giving the benefit of the doubt by default. I really don't want to feed the "oh hes just cheating thats why he won" mentality, and therefore I don't accept these thoughts. I have ran into blatant speedhackers twice by now though, so surely theres still cheaters, no educated guess can be based on that though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I can tell you without a doubt you can go into any silver 40/40 district, play 5 games and end up matched against someone suspicious. 5 games vs teams of 4 means 20 playes - of which 1 is suspicious. That means 5% of players play suspiciously, so the percentage of certain cheaters (not just suspicious players) is significantly lower than that.

Margravine 20 Posted July 28, 2018 I'd like to know if the community GM's have the power and allowance to ban at their own discretion? I asked a GM in game and he refused to answer. I also asked if they review submitted evidence and didn't get an answer, only to submit it to support (and they don't deal with support tickets) so what is their purpose? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read through Lixil's posts and you can see that she mentioned that they do NOT have the power to ban. Only admins/devs can.

Margravine 20 Posted July 28, 2018 So they've replaced the /report function with a 'complain to a GM if/when they are active and pray they take you seriously enough to report up the chain' ? Excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
