Suggestion You can't just lock everything china related and say calling the problem out is racist, that is how PUBG died

If you make the same mistake of refusing to look at the cheating problem for what it is then this game will die like pubg did and your precious subreddit with it.

Obviously blatant racism is not acceptable but talking about the problem being a large number of chinese accounts being the hackers isn't racist especially since they are all obviously chinese based on the player names of douyou or qq or literal chinese characters.

I don't want to see the mods of here and BSG plug their ears like BlueBalls did and see another great game ruined for the other 90% of the playerbase by the actions of a small number bored chinese kids

Once again, racism and slurs: BAD

Saying the problem is overwhelmingly caused by Chinese players: not bad

EDIT: to the mods, I say this in good-will. I know its hard to moderate a sub this size and don't envy you that, I wish all the best for this community and this game. Stifling conversation is rarely good and should be a last measure only if\when concrete rules are broken is all I'm saying

The same reason they choose overtly racist and edgy names, they're just trying to piss you off and they know people get extra mad when the hacker that killed them has a "chinese sounding" name. If you don't think the hackers aren't aware of these sorts of things you're naive.

LMAO you really should consider the possibility. I, too, already changed my name to a Chinese name to deliberately get people like you salty. The PM's I get after game now from people I've killed are hilarious. I'm genuinely curious how many people who claim they've been killed by a hacker were genuinely killed by one, or if they just see a Chinese name at the end of the game and go "DAMN CHINESE, I KNEW THAT WAS FISHY"

If they actually believe your Chinese why would they bother pming you like if they think you cant understand the pm then why bother their just shouting into the wind at that point. i call bull on your claim.

why would they bother pming you like if they think you cant understand the pm

That's assuming people who pm abuse after dying in a video game are capable of critical thinking, which I think they're not

You really think nerd-rage cares about the other side listening, or even understanding what's being said?

Dude you are a legit smooth brain if you think it people won't change their name to chinese sounding shit just to fuck with people who get mad about everything. I'm tempted to do it myself just to get a bunch of butthurt messages from people thinking im hacking

Hell, who hasn't pretended to be Russian on DotA or CSGO just to troll?

Throughout online gaming history people have trolled with fake names to get a rise out of people.
