It makes no sense to shadow ban people in a game with such low population. If you prevent access to districts, when sometimes only ONE instance is available, cheaters will easily be able to finetune their settings to avoid this threshold because you have a very easy way of verifying when you are shadowbanned.

 

I don't know if you are confident in some secret strategy that will make APBs population blow up, but these recent changes are very clearly intended for that scenario. Which means that you are either extremely confident or extremely tone-deaf. As an initial implementation, SARD should just slam detected cheaters. Assuming the system is somewhat competent you will be able to count the false positive cases using 10 fingers with the current pop.

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.

I just want to play FC that's all it doesn't hurt to start testing cross district world for FC districts cant play 99 percent time is dead in NA and who cares if it will cause crushes and bugs in the beginning its a good testing ground plus its FC its not that important than main districts consider FC like OTW servers for testing. Plus if it comes down the names could conflict each other make it in a way for example if  player for NA wants to join EU put temporary name like MidnightQ(NA) or MidnightQ(EU)

As for Cross-District. 

 I had thought that this meant being able to play while pledge to a fin contact, in wf, or visa versa. 

In a perfect world this would include doing the 'side jobs-joker jobs' from either district. 

So this will not effect NA, unless they add a new contact or something to bring all the rats out of the cellar. 

 

As for Sard;

 I realize this takes time to work, but I see no change.

Knowns are still in district, missions still have golds, I still see things and sard may work, but only well after the fact. 

It is good that Matt said there would be bans as opposed to just points. 

So I really have no faith in sard, another thing that takes time to be proven. 

Time added on to the years of waiting
