Valve doesn't care much about Hacking Reports

[Purple Disco Machine]

Valve really doesn't care much about Reports, even when it happened on VAC secured server.
I'll take Team Fortress 2 as example, we know, Valve cares more about CS:GO than TF2, even the hacking reports get attention, but not in TF2. You can add everything as proof, they will never react. (I'm not talking about the ingame report feature, which is since 2009 offline)

I already made hacking reports where i added HIS HACKING VIDEO (they uploaded it), they also linked THEIR profile link in the description.
VAC seems to be very outdated, because there are newer hacking clients and they are so obvious. They will never get a ban, but other players got a VAC ban for no reason, interesting.

And please, don't tell me anything like: "They're busy." Of course they are, but they will have enough staff members who have time to check multiple reports.
But hey, they had enough time in the past to dupe a "lost" Bill's Hat or something because they deleted it.

I only see valid source bans, when the hacker used any free hacks.
Even server plugins detects hacks better than vac..

VAC being automated and all, I don't see how you could act surprised at this point that they don't care about the "proof" you send them.

VAC has been and continues to be pointless. The open hacking is getting rampant in BO2 and a VAC ban (when ever they have one or more) doesn't restrict them in any way. Whats the point? They have our money and the servers cost money. What is their motivation to ensure - and hacks are screen out? Whereas there is a good business case in promoting flash bangers, hacks, etc. to make a game untolerable. Sell the suckers another updated NEW game.

After this B4. I will NOT support this outfit with another purchase.

It's important to note that VAC was never intended to be the sole source of protection from cheaters. It's meant to be used with active server admins.

Smac is better than vac there is no doubt on that
and this is also why we see more cheaters on valve servers compared to non official servers

If you just use the feature (find a game) then there is almost 50%
you land on a server with atleast 1 or more cheater in it

edit: some users has been vac banned over 23 times and nothing stops them from playing, because steam refuse to give ip & mac bans (Net cafe's its their own job to make sure nothing illegal is happening on their computers) so that is not even a valid excuse for not doing it

Yeah, and this "automatic" system is only useful for detected hacks. And hackers who has a bit more brain than the others pays for any hacks to be undetected.
I heard that reported CS:GO players will be spectated if he/she really hacks, but i'm not sure, i'm not playing it so much.

VAC is an automated system and does not accept human input. Cheaters are banned a few weeks to a few months after detection. You will not see results right away. Your reports activate more intrusive VAC scans. MAC addresses, IP addresses, and HWIDs can be changed within five minutes and increase the likelihood of false positives. VAC is intended to be used with proper server administration, due to the delayed nature of the bans.

As for CS:GO, reports are handled by an entirely seperate system called Overwatch where players spectate reported cheaters and vote on whether or not they're actually cheating.

To make sure this doesn't happen:

Rest assured that game developers want you to have a pleasant, cheat-free experience with their games.

That's actually because VAC is intended to be implemented with server administration and additional anti-cheating systems to deal with cheaters more immediately.

If by"video" you mean "that replay where I reported him using the in-game report system" then the answer is yes

The ingame report is down since 5-6 years, atleast in Team Fortress 2

You can always report the player from hes profile, but thats not gonna affect hes vac status or anything.

Its true valve doesnt care about tf2 hacking, valve cares more about cs:go since overwatch exists. Rarely tf2 hackers get banned unless they use a free hack.
Also i know what hacker your talking of, and the hack that he uses (not gonna say it) its not detected and it wont be untill valve starts to care again about tf2, and its almost impossible to get banned by VAC for no reason.
