Purpose of showing spectator count?

@SlivPTS Well, I don't know why someone with the intention to cheat would just turn a cheat off out of the blue. Most cheats are usually spotted only when the cheaters fight, so it doesn't even matter if they're left on during looting. Fighting without aimbots often gets them killed, their muscles are lazy, they lack the continuous,fine tuning practice that we get every day.

As for hardware bans, they're a bit irrelevant if they don't get applied fast enough and can sometimes produce collateral victims. It's a good punishment for players that buy cheats. Hackers use hw spoofing, vpns, etc, they know how to mask their stuff and also do refreshes on regular basis. The worst happens when they simulate/copy ids that actually exist, steal accounts or constantly change their hardware, selling the old one. That's probably when you get very upset innocent players, as they got banned "out of the blue".

Banning accounts is pretty useful. Hackers don't make cheats just for fun, they also sell them or use them to boost and then sell accounts. If those accounts get nullified, cheaters lose money, hackers gain less.

Stopping cheaters is nearly impossible, the most effective way to weed them out is to continuously make their effort unworthy. So keep reporting, because they will surely keep destroying games.
