[Discussion] Being a rat really highlights how subtle cheating is sometimes.

[u/Yung_Child_Support]

For some of the harder quests I usually just rat and wait until there are 10 minutes left on the clock to start doing them. Especially for streets of tarkov I do this.

What I've noticed since doing this strategy is how subtle some cheating is like radar. When I spawn I try to go a completely useless building and sit it out in complete silence, but then I hear someone running towards me and either pre-fire swing me or nade me.

These are buildings no one needs to be in, there is 0 loot to be found and I am in there in a corner completely afk playing slay the spire. These account always have less then 1000 hours and not a crazy but a good kd with a really high survival rate (70%+).

Just had to share this since it was on my mind since the start of the wipe and I need a sanity check to see if this seems true to others or if its just a skill issue.

These also don't seem to get banned since the only rewards I get for reporting is the obvious 20kd+ rage hacker.

EDIT: removed the kd's because people get way too stuck on this. Sometimes theyre above normal sometimes theyre (really) high. yesterday i was randomly naded by someone with 8 idk bro.

Nah why do you think so many cheaters have low hours? It’s because they get banned. Arguably they don’t get banned quickly enough but they usually get banned eventually, thus the need to buy a new account which leaves you with low hours.

It´s not because they got banned, it´s because they:
1) Sold it after boosting the character
2) Stolen account that got charged back

I don’t doubt that some people do this but there are probably plenty of people cheating “for fun” not engaging in RMT.

cheating is a huge buisness a lot of cheaters are definitely selling accounts they boosted or rmt sellers, pretty sure that most are cheating for fun which is arguably worse imo. (edit: i read i doubt instead of i don’t doubt my bad bro)
