LaQuandra 91 Posted June 5, 2018 9 hours ago, BXNNXD said: i mean in this case "a lot" really could be just about anything, when the number of questionable bans is supposed to be something approaching zero Obviously 1 false ban is too many, but if there were 16999 legit bans and 1 false ban I highly doubt LO would unban everyone to "increase" population. Obviously Matt Scott felt there were enough false bans to justify unbaning a significant portion of the bans. 9 hours ago, CookiePuss said: Am I reading this wrong? Because it seems to support what I have said. He never said he reviewed every case. Please tell me if I am wrong about this. If he had, LO would be able to unban only the questionable bans while leaving the rightful bans in place. No? And as for what percent Matt Scott would consider "a lot" of false bans... we simply do not know. Correct? Please tell me where I missed his explaination of what "a lot" means in the context in which he used it . Maybe its 1%, maybe its 10%, maybe its 99%, it is simply not stated. How does it support what you said at all? I think it's pretty obvious he spent time reviewing bans per his statement. It isn't possible to review every single ban nor is it needed. I would hope that reasons were given for the bans and he was able to sort through those reasons. For example, if FF flagged 1000 players for "violation x" and he deemed "violation x" to be a false flag, he has just "reviewed" 1000 accounts. If no reason was given for the bans you can point to his statement that bans were handed out inconsistently and at the discretion of the GM/CM. He felt there was enough evidence in his investigating the bans that G1's anti cheat measures lacked integrity. He said he spent weeks, not a couple of hours pursuing the list. Why don't you have an issue when Tiggs doubled down on FairFight and said that anyone caught by it was cheating 100%. She basically said anyone who claims they were falsely banned were liars and convinced community members of that. She knew what she was saying was false. Again, you were shocked by his statement....I wonder why...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, I believe in redemption and forgiveness for those who admit their mistakes and own up to them. We all have flaws. Fortunately another company was able to purchase the game and allowed us to see the truth. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least after BE comes out your hackusations will be minimal....I hope. We'll see. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puffdragon 131 Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I am a very old member of the community, thus I have seen just about every juicy tid bit of drama. I can say without a doubt in my mind there were false bans, I witnessed them myself. I'm not going to talk about reasons why or bans at all, and if I remember correctly, the admin told us not to discuss them as well. My honest opinion as a semi sober individual is that the amount of false bans were enough to contaminate the banning system. Tos violators should be in one list, and hackers should be in the other. But somewhere down the line those lists were mixed. Anyways ya, probably should stop talking about bans now. Even if they unban everyone, the new system will be even tougher to crack than the last one. Edited June 5, 2018 by Puffdragon Fixed a typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortune Runner 796 Posted June 5, 2018 not everyone suspected of cheating is actually cheating. some of us simply have less lag and better computers. some of us get accused even though we have computers made for gaming at optimal speeds. that means hardly any lag from trouble connecting with apb or any hangs from our computers spiking. either way a better computer still doesn't mean much if you run into those guys on your team who kill you from behind then blame you for being in the way for *gasp* shooting at ops.... lots of it lately only true reason i can think of to team kill is that guy....lol anyways back on topic : not everyone is a botter but yes some are suspiciously too good like when there's major server lag but they don't msis a single shot 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was more referring to the people who think BE is the same as FF and think they won't get caught as long as they don't "Rage hack" but still continue to toggle on their cheats.
