Why Matt Scott support cheaters?

Can you explain more about this?

One word.  SPCT!

The thing is, Matt isn’t a gamer. I actually had the same conversation about cheaters with him a few years ago, and I told him back then who was cheating and how you can spot it just by watching closely even without any anycheat. I got the feeling he knew it was a problem but didn’t want to deal with it for some reason.

 

Many players (even cheat developers) have said that at least 30% of the player base is cheating. Ironically, it’s usually actual cheaters who deny this, claiming it’s a lie. It has always been cheaters spreading misinformation, defending ridiculous decisions like unbans, and insisting on false ban narratives. In reality, false bans account for less than 0.1% - I personally know a guy who was unbanned after loudly claiming he was falsely banned, even though he was blatantly cheating. He was using program that many players from this forums are still using and they were also banned and unbanned after.

 

So yes, this game is cheater-friendly. In its current state, it’s too late to ban all the cheaters - there wouldn’t even be one full district left. I’m sure Matt realizes now how bad that decision was back then. G1 understood that fighting cheaters is still better than trying to please everyone and mostly listening to cheaters, just because many of them are streamers or very active users. 

 

Creating FFBans brought a lot of players back. People knew that sooner or later, the most obvious cheaters would get bannedwhether they were streamers, well-known players, or paying users. But everything went downhill after they disabled it and started pushing an anti-legit agenda. And here we are. I said back then that it would end like this, but they thought they knew better

 

Since the only way to fight cheaters in the game is to not play against them (just stay AFK), at this point, it feels like the only real way to fix the game is to stop playing it altogether. I quit a long time ago, and honestly, I’m glad I did.

 

P.S. Imagine this - cheaters were actually whining on the forums that staying AFK against them should be bannable. I remember people getting mad in a cheater’s stream chat when he got matched against my team a few times in a row and we just AFK’d every mission. After the fourth or fifth AFK game, he rage quit, complaining that it should be bannable, how lame it was, and throwing out all sorts of nonsense. I still recommend do afk if you face cheaters - its the only thing that makes them mad.

I guess I must be cheating then because while I don’t know if you would actually get banned for it (that would seem harsh), going AFK in missions because you think someone is cheating is griefing. 

It’s better and kinder to just log out and log back in. That way the people who wanted to play that mission still can. 
 

For real just be nice and /exit and then relaunch. We have CDMM now so you wouldn’t even have to spam join if the district is full and there is currently no penalty for doing this. 

I really wish I could ask who the streamer was, but no name and shame so I’ll let it go.

I dont agree with the being afk unless the cheat is on your team and being real obvious. 

Because I wouldn't want to help him screw the other people.  That said. 

Being kind to these hoodlums is not in my programming. 

Cheats are Frauds, Crooks, Thugs with a computer.

Now you have to remember these people went well out of their way to ruin the game. 

So missions are off the table, unless you like getting botted down and running back for another. 

Game is unplayable with such a high percentage of hackers in NA.

Matt has done nothing to create open world tasks for cops or crims. 

So in effect He has no Game, no product.

The only way to make money facing constant hacker stacked teams is to show up but throw. 

Fire off a couple shots there way n die.

No reason to try cuz the gold on your team will outscore you anyway, even if you do well.

Oh I've thought about making an alt account and buying some hax, just to kill the hax we have. 

But thats not gonna make them leave, for some reason this old game attracts hackers by the droves. 

And it's not enough for them to just hack out the missions, they will come n find you and troll you if you aren't a hacker.

So it's best to either uninstall and move on if you dont like the hackers, or go in knowing you are risking your account, 

and torture them. Because they aint going anywhere.

Now if you hack or like hackers this is the game for you, These are Your People
