Why Matt Scott support cheaters?

[cowhorseman 445]

I did decide to log in recently out of bordem. and for cheats i have seen the following. not as in just every now and then, but almost every single match i played.

 

1 players who know excatly were you are at all times. i mean ALL times, several times i have spawned in and there just there waiting for me with a sniper or LTL if im on crim and i die before getting a chance to move

 

2 players who can auto fire the SR-15 and any time of semi auto. This one is suppose common they can just look at you and your dead becuase the sr-15 is based on how fast you can click thje gun

 

3 aim bot. this is mostly used with the 45 and semi auto rifles. and very noticeable becuase they do not miss ever nad hit  you from 50m+ with zero issue

 

4 they can see you through walls. several times i have been waiting and someone starts firing at the wall i am behind, or they toss a nade right on top of me.

 

and finally on a crim i noticed a lot, and i mean A LOT of enfos using both aim bot and knowing were you are with LTL effectly locking crims out of playing matches becuase it turns into spawning being arrested and waiting.

 

 

Of course they give all sorts of excuses such as being a better player then me or there merely just that good

Which of course is a fat lie, becuase fighting normals with semi auto rifles is possible to do becuase the gun is not faster then the SHAW

 

 

But i doubt matt will do anything, infact as i know what LO will do is threaten me with a ban. again, not like your banning much i'm only here this once off to report my findings and i rarely (now can't) play FE

becuase APB is just borderline unplayable unless you want a dress up sim. were everyone is a female who dresses like a sloot with cat ears crappy tats and glasses and piercings.

The free anti-cheat begins to create a orgy. Matt bangs his head on the handle of the rake again.

Can't blame the man for a good time, free of charge.

Consider my solution... no permanent bans because 1. they don't work.. 2. we lose too much of an already too small playerbase... BUT a "good time" at the expense of the game and legit gamer's deserves a FITTING PUNISHMENT. TEMPORARY KICKS immediately on detection. Kick them OUT of the game so they don't screw the competitive game balance.

so cheaters can test the threshold of the anti-cheat :
Pass 1 - Fail 

Pass 2 - Fail 

Pass 3 - Sucess ?

1. You think when a cheat-maker can already instantly reroll back into the game after detection, that temp kicks are FAIL? WE ALREADY HAVE FAIL. NO anticheat is KILLING what's left of the game.

 

2. If they have a working anticheat... it updates, moreover the population of APB is so TINY I doubt it's financially worthwhile to cheatmakers to constantly work at updating the cheats to beat out quality anticheats.  Right now the 3 main advertised APB cheat sites all claim not to have detections in YEARS.  These are OLD CHEATS.  But... even if they weren't... it's the responsibility of a quality ANTICHEAT to update and preclude alterations of cheats.

3. No anticheat at all is killing the already tiny game. (repeat for emphasis)

Really hope we get their new own anti cheat soon

Well this certainly explains a lot.

I guess my radical idea to allow everyone to use 3rd party tools wasn't too far off.

I can’t tell what is or isn’t irony anymore

I'm just going to put this out there... There are much older games with HUGE playerbases... like Everquest that still has around 20 servers... and PAID monthly subs.... So many older games  But the thing is... the Publishers are ACTIVE. Their forums are up-to-date.. they have knowledgeable staff.. Eve Online... Guild Wars.. etc.  They have to be earning easily 10x what any foolish company would make with 200ish paid cheaters.
I think it's a possibility LO run's a game just to sell cheats on the side... but... if they "did" they'd have to see how both their population and revenue tanked over time... and that was an unwise "investment." I think they were going great guns in Dec... New contact.. New guns.. New ranks.. New activities.. hell, even new Match-making.

What KILLED them... was failure to implement an anticheat.  I heard the podcast where Matt Scott said he wanted the anticheat not to permaban.  GREAT!  But... WTF is it??????????????? WE CANNOT KEEP WAITING.

LO had the game to long and destroyed to much trust with the cheaters support. It need a big changes and a company who ban cheaters. So that more people start playing legit or come back to the game for a good playerbase. Dont bans and name and shame is bad policy  the biggest joke in history of the game.  The player base has become so dirty.
