Is cheating in rust a accepted thing in the community?

I get wrecked like I always do when i fanaly get an AK. seamed very fishy since both me and my friend got insta HS (I know that is very possible but it just didnt feel right). Then i go to youtube and search "Rust cheaters". I expected to find videos about how to avoid cheatrs, what servers to avoid, how to know if you got killed by a cheater etc. But what i found was channels advertise for the best cheats. How to know if theye are legit and how to install. It seams like a big part of the community likes hacks and are happy to spread it to every server. I know csgo have a bad rep for cheaters but this was crazy imo. Anyone with more knoledge about this? have you experienced the same or more?

It seems like it most of the time.

The commentsections was also filled with people that wanted to get the cheat for themselves rather than bashing the channel for promoting cheats.

You can usually find if someone is location hacking you by running against a wall and stopping before leaving the cover. They will prefire before you actually are seen and consistently. Of course, sometimes, people guess it out, but if it's consistent, then something is wrong.

Regardless, FP should take legal action against these channels by claiming copyright violations. If Nintendo can do, FP can do it. Of couse, FP makes a lot of money off of banning hackers since hackers constantly have to rebuy the game.

Ya, blizzard has also successfully got criminal charges filed against ppl who made hacks for overwatch. It seems like a drop in the bucket to actually stopping it though. :(

Rust is literally littered with cheaters. As much as people would have you believe the game is well secured - it is not. Rust has many, many flaws not only that can get through EAC, but Rust has flaws at the very core of its programming. Not only that, but Rust uses a seventeen year old network engine called RakNet which has been abandoned for the past four years. This network engine has vulnerabilities still to date and they have not been addressed.

Having been a Rust administrator for quite some time, I have seen things people in the wild playing the game tend to miss and not see. There is pretty much a cheat for anything in Rust nowadays. The core of the game is insecure and has been for years. So, until they patch up their game code to not be so vulnerable and swap the network engine out for a more current one that is licensed, more secure and stable, Rust will forever be plagued with problems and cheaters.

Yes, all games have cheaters, but Rust leaves a wide open door to them. It's not just a little bit open, but wide open. Keep in mind that some companies actually like to have cheaters in their games because it creates more revenue. The gaming industry is greasy.

So to answer your question, yes, cheating has pretty much been accepted by the Rust community becasue most are unwilling to encourage better game security and rather just flame or troll people who get banned on a regular basis. False bans happen frequently too and usually don't get lifted so people have to buy the game again.

Unfortunately this has become the accepted normal. People just don't want to fight for their consumer rights to have a better video games. The people won't do anything, Valve won't take any responsibility for anything, this developer company doesn't want to take responsibility and fix things up properly. So, at the end of the day nobody cares and nobody is interested in making it all better. As long as it's bringing in revenue they (the companies involved) don't care.
