Can we get an update on cheating?
In the aftermath of the videos showing how easy it is to cheat in this game, it would be reassuring to have some kind of update from CG. What is being done? Is it working at all? Community confiden...

Kyno the problem is that a lot of us have spent a lot of money in this game, with the belief that the cheating was not as widespread as the videos have shown to be. That is a huge problem, as we are now seeing CG has known about the issue and kept mum while collecting our money. How can I truly trust any result in GA at this point?
They have not kept silent about this, they have openly stated they are looking at this and have always been working to keep tabs on and stop it.
Any time you have felt that your opponent has not been "on the level", please feel free to report this to CG_Leviathan.
Addressing singular occurrences and addressing the wider issue are two separate things. We’ve all seen how easily and brutally this game can be manipulated now, and that needs CG communication
But acting like it being possible and it is completely widespread with no consequences is also 2 separate things. Players get banned (for various amounts of times, all the time), it doesnt mean things are not working or are not in place to deal with them.
So CG has been aware of this for years now, and bulldog cheated for a month to whisleblow this with EXTREME settings such as no damage taken at all and no ability cooldowns.
CG's new anti cheat system didn't detect anything suspicious about his accounts behaviour.. But sure Kyno, it doesn't mean things are not working or are not in place to deal with this.
I guess we as the playerbase still got to work as CG's beta.. err exhibition testers and as an active anti cheat system by reporting suspicious behaviour while we pay their paychecks at the same time. And God forbid, dont give us any tools to make it easier for us to find and expose the cheaters, i guess that takes resources. It cost money, lets rather create a witch hunt there everyone will suspect anyone for the health of the game and the community.
..shiiit this actually made me upset. I've invested too much time and money in this game for something like this to exist. I really hope they take it seriously and apply the necessary means to halt or fix it.. and of course keep an open dialog with the community about this mess.
