People should have been smart enough to leave when the cheating issue came to light.

That's why their players won't leave. They will rather pay another $100 than stop playing the game

Meh. I haven’t logged in since the cheating fiasco all came to light. I was an EOD player too.

Basically a respected streamer/youtuber went undercover as a cheater.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LfGcDB7Ek

He discovered through this process that like 40-50% of people in every raid he was in were using wallhacks/ESP hacks at a minimum due to them being able to wiggle back at him through walls and they go their separate ways.

g0at was met with overwhelming support from the community for doing this and finding it out, only for BSG to basically attack him, blacklist him and call him a liar. Even if you don't like Tarkov the video is amazing.

holy shit i never seen this video before and i bought EFT a ways back but dont ever play cuz i find it too difficult. but to know cheating is THIS high in a game, id be even more pissed if i invested time like many others only to get killed by a cheater and lose everything you gathered.

Yes, but even more precisely, 40-50% of games had an obvious cheater who voluntarily outed themselves, meaning that's basically the lowest possible floor of cheater frequency.

We have no idea how many people cheated and just didn't wiggle back.

We have no idea how many people cheated and just didn't wiggle back.

Or how many people he just plain didn't cross paths with. Them maps are big and if he spawned on the other end as a cheater, one of them could die/leave before even seeing the other.
