you nailed it brother. And i've been shouting into the wind about it for 20 years. they wasting their time banning bots, because if the aim bot was at least skill matched in a competitive game, it wouldn't be as detrimental to the community. aimbotting is like 30-40% of the community, but smurfing/sandbagging/stacking/tier slumming is about 80% of it. its the constant creation of new alternate accounts that has always ruined this industry. or the allowed premades "I wanna play with my friends" that you can't stop anyways cause they will just sync drop in with each other or ruin the game mode on purpose. You stop the anonymity and you stop most of the bots/cheat engines. And its encouraged by the game companies themselves. I understand not wanting to ban innocent players and it should be a certain decision. But it has to be done eventually lol.
when bc2 bought the franchise back on the scene on the PC. They tried to bring back the old vote for shuffle teams type of mods that was used in cs and bf2 pubs back in the days. But the community of players nowadays, most of which is very anti american posers, were enraged and voted against it. And most admins, I believe EA themselves, scrapped the plans. We just have to face the fact that we are prolly 20 years too late dude.
RIOT did everything right, even had the perfect core community in LoL. But eventually the smurfers ruined the community. Especially after they got on ESPN, it was almost like it was coordinated, as if they hated the fact it got so popular it was on ESPN. Because immediately the community just got destroyed. EPIC has tried suing people, taking them to court, with Fortnite even suing the parents of cheating kids for a few years. It did nothing to deter it.
The only true way to stop it is to verify identities like the gov't. No game company has ever wanted to do it, and nobody in the community woulds have the security or the bandwidth needed for security as well lol. I mean i can't count on my hands and toes how many times EA themselves, or battlenet themselves were literally taken offline. one time during christmas for like days. At that point you need like google to defend you.
This has always been about destroying our society brother, due the five deadly sins.
