People who claim innocence after receiving a ban

[76561197963519852]

Is it not ironic that they continue the lie?

Just like how they lie they're "better" when they wouldn't stand a chance without ruining the game by using cheats software...

I guess I am just at a loss here.

What is wrong with these people?

Edit: count me among people with a ban

I'm not going to plead innocence, but damn.

I will never have shadenfraude over a ban wave again knowing it can happen to anyone.

Sigh.

The playerbase is so fractured and broke. I just want to feel like I can trust, something, anything.

Everyone hates each other here. No common culture, no common language, just endless steam customers tearing down other Steam customers while the mods laugh to themselves.

Hell its not even just Steam, it is the same nationwide.

It's a bummer.

Doesn't have to be this way.

What is the rationale, for people cheating on these games? I can see these YT streamers looking to make money. But other than that, i can never figure out what people achieve, by cheating on these video games. It just never made sense. Maybe some kid wants to impress his friends.

It's a very hard and difficult game.

I let my 16 yo nephew play on my account some times and he nets 0 kills.

He's a controller player on fortnite and COD. Good at those games.

FPS skill-ceiling is crazy high and cheaters want to be able to jump in and make a difference. They don't think about those of us who've had to grind for years, decades even, to get to where we are.

They do so in hopes of getting unbanned. If I'd have a dollar for each one lying I'd be pretty well off money wise.

There are indeed false bans going around, but I'm seeing some that are "sticking" on the account.

It took an hour or two for my account to get unbanned.

One guy told me it was about "unlocks", and i guess that may make sense, unless getting caught for cheating is worth that. I mean it's not like they have money on the game. And its obvious here on PC, they're cheating. And so, it's just a matter never made sense to me.

Unlocks refer to weapon camos/skins.

I accept that bans can be falsely issued with, and we quicky got an statement from Valve saying that they will be roled back.

But i laugh everytime somebody claiming that you will get banned for having a high dpi proves it showing somebody immitating a spinbot getting banned.

Like. you're replicating a behavior the AI is trained to pick up on and remove from the game. Don't cry when you inteionally trigger it

I think at this point, they need to nerf sensitivity or something to like "reasonable levels". You can have sense so high, like a millimater of mouse movement does a billion spins.

I don't think any reasonable person would intentionally set dpi that high to play.

The videos i have seen the user spins for a good minute or 2 before the ban triggers

At that point, it is considered griefing and rightfully Game banned.

Discussing bans on the forums is an exersice in futility.
We don't know the whole story, we can't see the whole context, the previous bans, warnings, posts removed...

All we can do is play he said, she said. Do they lie? Yes? No? Maybe?

Truth is we can guess, but we can't tell.

I think what OP means are people insisting their anti cheat bans are false

I think unfortunately, there's so much distrust at this point, that everything feels like an exercise in complete futility.

There's nothing to say anymore.

Trust is gone.
