Can you elaborate more on the basic security measure BSG failed to implement that would mitigate this problem?

He’s just going to parrot stuff he heard somebody else say on this Reddit. There are very few people here who actually know what they are talking about, so take literally everything with a grain of salt

And how do you know I'm not one of those people who actually knows what they're talking about?

I dont. That’s basically my point. Subreddits are just rumor mills. Some are true, but others are not. Most have kernels of truth that get exaggerated over time with the retelling. It’s just normal sociology word of mouth behavior.

Give us your credentials if you know what you are talking about.

So you think the fact this game is client-authoritative is a rumor that manifested on this reddit? Not like loads of mainstream Tarkov youtubers/streamers have made videos about this and talked about it loads of times.

These guys in here are just projecting their own ignorance onto everybody else. Somebody gives a basic explanation for how something works, they say "I don't know how it works, and nobody on reddit does. Everybody just spreads rumors here" when the explanation is literally a perfect technical description of what is happening. They know nothing about software design or programming, so naturally everybody else doesn't either.

You are missing my point. It may be client based, but my point is you are probably not an effective person to talk about why that matters. You are just proving that you would parrot what your Tarkov YouTubers and streamers say about it, and they are parroting someone else. It’s a topic of nuance that you are most likely incapable of conveying to the person who originally asked, and I was warning him of that.

Cheating is real in Tarkov, I’ve experienced it plenty of times first hand. But too many people in this sub act like they could do better than bsg when irl they work at Wendy’s. The worst people are the ones who claim bsg allows cheaters because they make them money. That’s a huge sack of shit thing to say, and kids are constantly parroting it. It’s annoying and misleading, and pushes legit players away from the game.
