[DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME] Devs actively ignoring the hacker problem

[NotAPanda]

This game is filled with aimbot and wallhack users and the devs are actively ignoring the problem. There is a super easy solution to hacking and that is continues, active banning of players mid matches.

Go over the set treshold? BANNED.
Aiming too quickly? BANNED
Tracking enemies through walls? BANNED

Seriously... all of this is so easy to find in the game with just 5s of spectating players. Just take an hour a day of your dev work and keep banning players and you suddenly have 90% less hackers in matches going around. Especially in ranked which should be devs main objective.

Before that happens DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. Too many hackers ruining the experience.

Using aimbots and wallhacks is considered cheating. We’ve got a list of everything that’s considered cheating in our FAQ section.[id.embark.games]
The team reviews and investigates all reports, and it’s important to keep reporting any account that you find suspicious. You can report cheaters using the in-game tool, which is the best way to do it.
If you have screenshots or videos, you can also send them to our support team for investigation. We want to keep the game fair for all players, and reporting these accounts helps a lot.

Thanks for your reply!

Smarter ones use their cheats discreetly and are therefore less noticeable. And without the kill cam it's harder to judge. The extent of cheating imho is very problematic - however, this affects many games.

It would have been simpler to implement VAC, completely automated. All other anticheats are useless and bypassable from what I've seen.
Reports can be made by anyone, even without a real reason, and an incorrect ban could be triggered.

why dont people get it? please educate yourself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-vHjAT9tgw the devs do care and they are always doing something to catch the cheaters but cant always say something about it... its a cat and mouse game catching hackers specially in a f2p games

The cheating issue has been pretty bad this season compared to how bad it got in S1 before they actively tried stopping it. Doesnt matter how hard you combat it, cheaters will just code new ones to continue on with a new account. Its why you run into so many accounts with random gibberish as their usernames and their KD is something stupid like 30 kills with 1-2 deaths.

That's just bs though. You can ban for the wrong outcome like OP suggests. Have a head shot or hit ratio on a certain range with a certain weapon that is way over what the best players can achieve?= BAN. That easy. Same concept can be used in a whole bunch of different ways and make sure that nobody can do things that should be impossible. That would mean cheats would have to adapt for that, but that means making the cheats less powerful and who spends money for cheats that give you only average skill? xD

It could fix 90% of cheating and that's enough to pretty much eliminate the whole problem. They just prefer invasive software on our PC's and with this method, it's true, it's just a cat and mouse game you can't win.

Yeah, I bet they got those super premium gaming chairs. These are just the ones showing off or the tip of the iceberg

Most hackers I see "try" (if you can even call it that) to hide it but thanks to +20 years of FPS games I can spot when someone is hacking miles a way. No normal person tracks you through multiple houses and walls like these guys and suddenly do the perfect rotations and miss almost non of their shots. They think they are smart, but come on.... they aren't even acting / playing like any other normal player in the match which busts them for what they are instantly... cheaters.

though ive seen cheaters in this game myself, and i do not play ranked, and despite VAC being a really good anti cheat, although i have seen it getting bypassed, but a more extreme anti cheat isnt the solution to the problem, no anti cheat is perfect and all of them can be bypassed, stronger anti cheat will compromise the device, EAC is really great as i have opened patched apps and games while it was running, meaning it only cares what apps affect the game, though it can be bypassed with a decent proxy, a dll file and few text in shortcut.exe, honestly make cheating a crime already so cheaters will turn from civilian to criminal so you can do all the fun stuff to them, or at least add something similar to term of usage so you can hack them back :))
on a related note, if the players were more in harmony, none of this wouldve been needed, imagine a match where everyone despite being from different teams would team-up and only shoot the cheater, no matter how badly he has been cheating, i bet you could force him to quit, and if not, at least you'd have whole lot of fun...

Sure, but the VAC bans the account directly and there is no way to escape, it needs time to verify, but the ban comes in any case.
