Shadowbans

[Karkisamaya]

I didn't wanna make this post but this has reached a point where it's laughable now.
Since the release of this game I've been SB exactly 13 times.

It baffles me how greedy they are for money that they can't fix some simple things and only care about releasing more bundles in the store.

Getting SB basically means that you won't be able to play normally for 2 weeks or even months without being constantly put into a high ping lobby or with hackers.
The anti cheat in this game isn't perfect and i'm happy to hear that they're constantly trying to make it better but right now at this moment the anti cheat doesn't do the job of banning hackers. It literally takes less than 5 mins to join a SB server and see who is hacking and who is not. It's mind blowing how a multi-million dollar company doesn't have employees that play this game and manually ban players because like i said before, it takes less than 5 mins to join a SB server and see who is legit and who isn't.

On top of that the report system in this game is beyond broken. Whoever disagrees with that statement you're welcome to join my party so i can report you 5 times and you'll start to see the results immediately or the next day.
The report system doesn't need several reports from DIFFERENT players to start doing something. It only needs ONE person to report several times to start SB.

I have clips where i'm playing and getting good amount of kills in a match and suddenly i get kicked out (Disconnected from server).
I have gotten more than 5 warnings for Text, Voice and even offensive name even tho i BARELY ever text and mostly always talk on discord. It was more surprising to see that i got an offensive username warning for the first time in 10+ years.

Why did i get these warnings? The answer is simple. Someone in the game didn't like the way he/she was getting killed by me and decided that start mass reporting was the best thing to do instead of getting better at the game.

When you're SB and you decide to play multiplayer you have to very careful of not killing several players in short amount of time otherwise you get kicked
(Double/Triple/Quadruple kills).
You have to be careful not to get 10 kills without dying because the moment you hit 10 you can get kicked at any moment. (I have several clips of this).
In DMZ it's almost the same thing too. You can't get several kills in short amount of time otherwise you get kicked. (I have clips of this too).
You can also be kicked by just getting 3 kills separately.

I got SB 28th of March and until this moment i'm still SB.
I got tired of this BS 2 days ago so i decided to do a bit of experiment with some of my friends. We created a totally new account and decided to play ONE game of DMZ. After that we decided to report the account to see how long it would take for it to get SB or receive some sort of warning and oh boy the results were fking amusing.
4 reports for chat from player 1 = Warning
2 reports for voice from player 2 = Warning
1 report for username from myself = Warning
We didn't need to report the account for anything else because after that the account was already searching for servers with 192+ ping from 20 ping.
(We made a mistake of not searching for a game after every report to see if that affected the search result or not so i can't say for certain If it took only one report or several to get SB).

I thought that starting Season 3 i would have at least another chance of properly playing the game until i get SB again but it seems like i'm still carrying the SB from Season 2.
It is Disappointing to see how they were smart enough to separate suspicious players from normal players with normal servers and SB servers but they failed terribly at banning actual hackers in the SB servers and unbanning legit players from them.

Idk what is going on. This all started this week for me. On Saturday 8th April I got booted from a match and it said disconnected from server. I came back the next day on the 9th and I entered high ping lobbies. I checked my account and it said I was under review. First time ever. And I ah e 500+ hrs on the game. Smth isn’t right.

They UNBANNED ME YESTERDAY AND WHEN S3 HIT AFTER I BOUGHT THEIR FREAKING BLACK CELL BUNDLE AND PLAYED A FEW MATCHES OF CYBER MATCH AND WAS POPPING OFF LIKE CRAZY. I get disconnected and now I’m under review again. LITERALLY I JUST GOT UNBANNED AND STRAIGHT AWAY SHADOWED AGAIN!!!!! HUHHH!?

Im upto 4th
I'm pretty sure after your first shadow ban your account is perma ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
The thing here is this is how they keep around the ♥♥♥♥ players
You ban anyone who is above average that isn't a streamer.
And they purposely make sure streamers dont get shadow banned

[󠁳 ⁧bear]

Perma banned??? I have no idea abt how these bans work but this is my first time getting into this problem. It’s almost a week since I’ve been facing this. The fact that they unbanned me yesterday and immediately shadowed me after I try harder in cyber attack is just a mess. This never happened to me. NEVER!!

Because it happened once, it will happen again and again, No one ever gets shadow banned once.

Sadly no. I have never been shadow banned in WZ1 so I can’t say much abt that

The fact that other players reporting you has an impact on whether or not you get banned, seems like a good idea, but the unintentional consequences of human behavior make it the dumbest feature in the world. I was recently mass reported by a player who was using AIMBOT and WALLHACK blatantly in a game, and the second I finally killed him, I got shadowbanned.
