While playing with my friend for 5 hours, farming a new Ashen Expeditions Event ,we met a cheater who teleported to our ship, spammed songs in the game chat at the speed of light, had an aimbot and terrorized the entire server, so I have one question: why do we need Anti cheat if it doesn't work?
Will Rare or anyone fix this problem, I love this game but it is too much that an obvious cheater is not banned after two hours of terrorizing the server.
Is Easy Anti Cheat actually working?
- No anti-cheat is flawless. There is no such thing as an unbeatable anti-cheat, because a program cannot (at this time) be invented to predict how people will cheat.
- Anti-cheats & cheating are an arms race:
- Cheaters create a new way to cheat.
- EAC (Or other anti cheat) eventually catch on via player reports to game developers, who report it to the anti-cheat developers.
- Anti-cheat developers update their product to catch the new ways of cheating.
- Repeat.
Part of the problem is that you see a cheater and think 'There is a cheater, therefore anti-cheat does not work at all'.
This is flawed. For every 1 cheater you see, another 5, 10, or 100 could be caught and banned. And because they are caught; you never see them.Also, the cheater being there for two hours means nothing; Rare can't monitor every server in real-time, so why would they catch a cheater in real-time?
He may be banned in a day, a week, or whatever. But you won't see it happen just because you saw him cheating.If you believe a player has been toxic in the game or suspect foul-play, you can report them to Xbox Live here. You can also submit a support ticket via Rare Player Support. As this is a matter for Support and not the Forums, I'll be dropping anchor here.
