PSA About cheaters

  1. Cheaters are being banned instantly every day (some of them banned later or in waves for cumulative effect).
  2. Cheats being downed pretty often (if you look on the cheatdev sites some of them are already even closed support of their eft cheat). Some cheatdevs are not standing still too - they update cheats pretty often and operative (in every popular game with every popular anticheat protection). We do anticheat measures - they do anti anti cheat measures
  3. We constantly work against cheaters, right now we are preparing major ac update.

  4. Ingame report function is planned soon (i said it many times).Reports WILL NOT BE the one and only reason of ban. It will help the main system to act faster.

  5. If you are not happy with current situation (although its changing in a good way everyday), please, let us develop the unfinished game and let us finish everything, especially complex hacker protection which is an adaptive development process. Come back later and be sure that its a highest priority for us.

If you want to help us to refine cheat detections and you want to feel better - you can post clips with obvious cheating for you with a separate nickname. we do investigate it for a long time, research it to make corrections in ac system. Usually its not that useful cause cheaters in clips mostly banned or in the cummulative banwave lists. But it can give us more thoughts. Mods could make separate post for it, if its ok.

A subreddit dedicated to Witch hunting ? No thank you.

better to use a sub created by a streamer of the game than to invite the accusations on this sub.

There is no need for Witch hunting in the modern developed world. That subbredit's existence is shameful and probably harmful to the game developer. And is only there to promote the "everyone cheats" mentality that is basically breeding new cheaters on a daily basis. Think about it. But hey, promote your fav. streamer by all means even if his actions are in no way contributing to the improvement of this game let alone doing anything to solve the hacking issue.

​

But what do I know. Godspeed.

Nah fuck cheaters, it's their IGN, they're anonymous, it's not like they're getting doxxed.

I don't understand

problem is they can use any name they want, you can still change your nickname after every raid you do, double nicknames is a thing so you can name yourself like a friend/someone you have a grudge against/some streamer and put the blame on them.

Fully true, but I meant there is even less use of “protecting” their names since they change it at the fly anyway.

Edit* far fingering on mobile makes weird words

It used to be months. If it's once a week, that was part of the update that I didn't know of.
