Jazeker Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) At least there is some momentum now. Fighting cheaters is no fun for fair players (the whole point of cheating online). But yeah, taking months to remove some of the most idiotic cheaters after (intense, I assume, lol) discussions with BattlEye ... that's not nearly fast enough. But.... at least there is some momentum now. So a thank you is in order here,. So thanks for that. When they are done with the update a bit more active approach towards the most idiotic cheaters would be nice. Alternatively Matt could have added optional auto-aim / trigger bots for everyone, might be a faster fix. Adding it to the pile, stupid trolls and their cheater buddies.

Nev Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 @MattScott Can we also ban people who purposely group up with cheaters? 1

Alani Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 I didn't get banned, so I guess this means I don't cheat. suck it.

TzickyT Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 good to see the knowledge why ban wave was given ...

NikkiCasinoKnows Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Talking about cheaters is toxic. Talking about fake skill is toxic. Talking about bad people is toxic. "Fucking silvers." Right? Talking about a clown and his shitshow.

That means that the person knows the groupmate is cheating. So tell me then wise one.... How would I know if they cheat or not ? You completely missed why I said what I said. I would "purposely" group up with friends any chance I get. It's what makes APB even more fun. That doesn't mean I know if someone cheats or not. And even if you said they do how do I know if you are right or not? We just had a thread started by a guy who (as banned reminded us) has hackusated over being run over by a car. You are saying (intentionally or not) I should be punished for grouping with new friends on APB that I made This could also be happening to you mind you. Which means someone cheats then to punish people just because they exist in a group to have fun on APB? Witch hunts are a real bad thing. To punish people like this there is no balance , no fairness with that at all. So because of a desire for fairness I would suggest sticking to current policy of gathering evidence and letting BattleEye and Little Orbit doing their jobs instead of changing it to a witch hunt He asked if we could ban groups and this ^^^ is why I always say no to that.

There are those who support the cheaters for a token of thanks for carrying. Edited January 28, 2019 by Hypothesis
