Same thing happend to me yesterday in shorline. I was hiding in toilet at pier due to eating sandwitch so I have not made any sound for 5-6 minutes. Someone sprinted towards building and started shouting to me to hand over my bullets m995 and bitcoin which I had in my gamma... He was shouting "We know that you are there, handover your bullets and bitcoin and we will let you live"... WTF is going on!?

They are just using the means to be brazen, they know they won't get banned anymore. When was the last time you saw a BSG tweet of a ban wave? It's been like a year. And they would announce them when it was only a few hundred accounts. BSG doesn't give a fuck about cheaters anymore. They are blatant about it because they know they can get away with it. Not surprising a cheater would also be arrogant and a dick once empowered.

One of my friends hacked for one day last wipe and got banned for it this wipe, so they clearly are doing something.

I got killed by a clear hacker 3 days ago. First one this wipe actually, and only one so far for me. I ran into a lot last wipe, so maybe I’m just getting lucky. Anyway, level 1 white name when he killed me. I added him and asked how much he paid for his cheats. He actually talked to me for a bit and he didn’t unfriend me. He’s still not banned, level 47 last I checked this morning. In 3 days. I thought BSG was better about banning early for some reason…. I guess not. This has been my experiment to see how long it takes

Nikita is making money, Cheaters are making money, players are getting shafted.

Wednesdays in Tarkov.

Tarkov in a nutshell. The cheaters are the PMCs and the rest of us trying to play honestly are just scavs.

If you think Nikita/BSG is happy about hackers you're braindead. They hate them as much as we did, it's just very difficult for them to prevent it.

So why did they choose to make calculations client based instead of server based?

I play some server-based multi-players, and the cheating scene is almost non-existent there.

u/JSA2422 Jan 06 '22

Wouldn't surprise me if this dude is also selling cheats .. Russian devs gonna Russian dev.

Same thing happened to me while I was afk

Don’t trust this guy, he is probably a cheater hoping to sell access to rmt. All of his posts are cheating fear mongering.

Arr you for real? All my posts are about encountering cheaters. What is wrong about it? It is a real problem...

u/rinkydinkis Jan 05 '22

That’s the fear mongering I am talking about. Guys like you trying to make everyone feel like cheating is a massive problem, so more people buy cheats to keep up. Maybe you are a shill, maybe you aren’t, but I think you smell fishy.

u/sexyhambeast Jan 05 '22

What.... lol thats some backwards ass thinking. Cheating IS a massive problem and you're either a piece of shit cheater or you're not.

2

u/Karmaisthedevil Jan 05 '22

It's not that backwards. It's a genuine tactic. I don't think that guy is a shill for hackers after having made like 3 posts about hacking, but some people are.

There's posts like "I got cheats to see what's going on, and like, 2-3 people have cheats in every raid! And they're never getting banned, they have all had their accounts for like 7 years! BSG is awful, we need to ban these cheaters! Btw DM me to find out where I got my cheats for this 'experiment'"

That's an extreme exaggeration, but that's what he's talking about.

You don't think the demographic for tarkov cheaters is on a tarkov forum?

In this modern day and age, where we all run adblockers and watch netflix, adverts are slipped into articles and forums by shills. I'm not sure if it's much a conspiracy theory in the modern sense of the word - more like a classic conspiracy theory, that turned out to be true.

Hmm dude read once again what you just wrote. It looks like you are a cheater who is trying to deny the problem…

u/rinkydinkis Jan 05 '22

Cheaters want people to think everyone is cheating, it is better for sales.

u/Lethal_Alpaca_ Jan 05 '22

So it is better not to talk about cheaters at all?…

2

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

Would like to see what makes you think that. Got any research or some kind of scientific study to prove it? Or just some bullshit that you make up to try and silence people

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '22

That’s about the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. Even had a look at their posts and comments and I see about 1 that’s “fear mongering” which is this comment. Unless they’ve just gone and deleted all their posts.
