Spies

[Teddypat1]

You can't prepare anything in World Team chat now because the second you start the invasion the enemies are waiting. It's so obvious that people either tip them off or they have a dedicated spy feeding them information. Something has to be done to stop this, and I think the best way to do it is to Faction lock people for the whole war. It's getting to a point that really isn't fair. I don't use Discord and when I want to prepare an invasion I go to World team chat and ask. I know not everyone uses Discord so I think this is the best way to include all of the community, but as soon as we cross over into a region it ends. Enemies instantly flank or are waiting for us and it is the most obvious thing to see. Something needs to be done because this is getting more prominent over the last two wars.

hey, people are already being faction locked for the entire war because of this reason. if you have any suspects with atleast some degree of proof you should head over to the discord and DM modmail.

You forget about multi-steam accounts, and thats 100% true that wardens have spies
Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to prevent that

We do have tools for detecting players who behave in this manner. For obvious reasons I won't elaborate further, but know that our moderator team is keenly aware of the relatively narrow band of players who choose to play in this disingenuous way.

It seems to me everyone thinks the other side has spies.

That's because they do lol
If you're EVER suspicious of someone, I can't tell you the amount of times I've actually been right and caught a cheater (with mod help ofc), but if you're suspicious and it's obvious to you that someone is doing something that's 'just not right', they are ignoring you and your teammates, and seem intent on their 'mission', it never hurts to report suspicious behaviour to a mod - who has the tools to corroborate your story.

Just be aware, it's usually better if you're correct in your assumptions, if you can be at least somewhat sure of possible cheating before you go reporting left, right and centre ;)
