Team Fortress 2

Hackers. Hackers Everywhere.
Hi everyone, I would like to share some thoughts.

I've been playing TF2 for almost 1k hours in the last... dunno, 5 years? Not a whole lot, but still quite a bit more than any other game. I love(d) this game and his community, but I haven't played it for weeks until today. I played 3 games (competitive), and I just encounter hackers in 2 of 3 games. In the first game, they were 2 or 3 people working together on the other team. We had to sit in spawn (though they still can shoot trough the doors) until timer ended. The last game, the hacker was in my team, and we all went friendly heavies. He even had a bunch of cosmetics, so was not just a noob kid who wants to believe he's not plain awful at videogames.

This is an epidemic of epic proportions, rigt now there's hackers in the most of times, and they're not just isolated cases which can even be funny (YouTube meat, if you know what I mean), or can be avoided just by leaving the server. Now, they are just ruining (more, as if Valve didn't work hard to accomplish that same thing) Team Fortress, this "new" Team Fortress that I'm trying to enjoy as much as the old one.

So, first of all, I would like to hear your own thoughts about this, and if we're enough people, maybe do a massive complain to Valve (if that hasn't been done yet, that i guess it should). I know this is an "old" game and maybe not the most interesting to work with for them, but they're just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ a percentage of his community. I was somewhat of a "Valve fanboy", but I'm turning more and more to Blizzard games. They're a bunch of jerks who never listen to their community, but at least they don't go around saying that they do xD (and what the heck, right now thay have better games (and no, I don't play Overwatch, I ain't paying 50 bucks for that ♥♥♥♥)). VAC works plain bad (it worked well in the past, but it seems is unable to keep up to date with hoax).

And second, hackers of the world, hear my words. You're not getting any better by using cheats. You're not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ off nothing more than some kids, you're just making all of us waste our play time, and that's along with your own, in fact, because you're not accomplishing nothing. I don't know if that's your intention or you just have some kind of mental disease. In this case, I suggest you to go to a doctor. In the first case, if you enjoy wasting your time by wasting other people time, then I suggest to get a girlfriend (you know...), getting a job, or even a hobby.
BUT, if you're using cheats just because you want to try them, then it's okay, it's a healthy thought, just curiosity. In this case, go to a custom server, a not-VAC one, in which people with the same interests than you gather together. You may enven know someone interesting. But please, don't be so selfish that you put your own preferences before the people who wants just to play fair and square a competitive game (or relax in a pub). That's just... human decency.

Anyway, hackers of the world... You deserve to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the face by a big and old dog.

tl;dr: ♥♥♥♥ hackers, let's raid volvo with complaints till they fix it or surrender openly to it.

Edit: I really can't say "p.iss" in volvo forums? xDDD ffs

Such a long post. And nobody read any of it!
only problem I have is that you imply you are turning to Blizzard games because of this.

I agree that the hacking is a problem. I encountered an aim-botter in a comp game recently as well. I've played 5 or 6 and 1 had a cheat user. Right now the best thing you can do is press f7 and report them. You can try and get in touch with Valve, but if you do that, it would be better to include as much information you can that you might have observed. Like how many you have been seeing in a period of time, whether or not it's at certain hours of the day, and so on.

Valve aren't a bunch of jerks.

The real sad thing though is that you say the hacker account had cosmetics. That could indicate a stolen or misused account. Someone cheating an account of someone they know or the password of which they were able to get. Which is sad.

Valve aren't jerks people, and they're not the enemy. Blaming them is old and stale at this point.
I've only really got hackers once every 200 matches tbh
I don't get any hackers i do however get some script kiddies and cheaters once in a while.

It spoils the game so much.

Say somebody hacks. They hack, because they get more satisfaction from that, than from kicking ass legitimately, and that's really messed up.

Howdy,

Thank you for sharing some thoughts.

Dogs? Faces? Seriously?

I don't think Valve are going to 'surrender' any time soon. And I don't know what you mean by 'raid' but Valve would probably be too busy smashing cheaters with VAC to notice it.

We have the word filter set as best as we can to the norms of a broad church of values - not just yours.

Cheers.
