What's wrong with people?
I don't understand why people need to cheat in any video game, seriously. We play game suppose to having fun, aren't we? Where is the fun when you can see everyone else in the game and don't even ne...
@TSF_VindictiV I didn't say a good anticheat shouldn't be placed in the game ahead of time.. I argued that we don't know if a "better" one than what currently exists is necessary, as you claimed it is.
There's been no evidence provided of any cheaters at all.. just an angry rant about cheaters and a claim that "we need something better". My questioning of evidence and stating that we don't know if we "need something better" isn't the same as stating that "we need no anti-cheat at all".
EDIT: Also, I just saw the part you posted about a "real life law against cheating". While I am against cheating and want them gone and would do anything other than that to prevent cheaters (and have exposed many of them myself as well as worked on anti-cheat in multiple games) I don't support the government stepping in and making cheating in video games illegal. There are better things for them to be doing than that and it's a bit of an overreach. Video games are not important at the end of the day and cheaters are to be dealt with by the community (by insulting them for being bad) and the company (by banning them and attempting to prevent further attempts to cheat). 100% against government policy against cheating in video games but 100% in favor of insulting cheaters for cheating and the company who runs the game and/or anticheat company removing those players and publishing names of players along with evidence of them cheating.
I actually find it hilariously stupid how companies refuse to post names of 100% proven cheaters they ban. Those names should be broadcasted on the main page, not hidden from view if they ever did start publishing them. "Naming and shaming" rules are stupid to begin with but especially so in the context of a cheater. They deserve to be shamed.
As a sidenote, despite being against all forms of censorship, including censoring "bad" words from posts... which is what Barry is doing.. It's really nice to see a staff member so actively reading the posts. He would have to be reading them to it to be possible for him to edit out the words. Usually things like that are dealt with because a lot of people with non-existent skin on the internet cry about it in reports.
@sneakwastakenn Just read your edit, I fully agree. What I described was a "perfect anti-cheat world" hence why I said it sounded like a sci-fi movie scenario lol. And indeed, the anti name and shame should go out the window when somebody is without-a-doubt a cheater and their ban should be IP address + hardware ban and I would go as far as contacting internet providers (if possible) for legal actions. I live in Canada and a friend of mine got a legal notice from his internet provider for downloading a game (fallout 3 to be precised, which was a while ago) via torrent (yaarrrr) so I know this kind of thing can be done.
