@nitroxien said in They make money by selling cheats.:
@wolfmanbush this game still does not have an anti cheat and won't IP ban players... Ran into the exact same group of cheaters on NAE on different accounts...
Cheaters are going to be the actual downfall of this game at this rate.
The ironic thing is that the true effect of it would probably be more of the opposite
If people left in fairly significant numbers because of season 8 frustrations it would be a lot of the pvp side, and from that pve would slowly pick up from the pressure being less on them in the organic environment. Down the road that would pick up pvp again and bring pvp back again.
People cheating in sot are heavily focused on clips including known names, that's pretty much always been the social currency of cheating in sot
It's like saying the antelope will suffer because the dragons go somewhere else, organic environment activity/effect analogy not people being wrong or bad.
The risk of cheating as it exists in sot is running off some streamers but others will replace them with openings for attention being made
and running off some pvpers that may be part of the social side of the community but not necessarily in much content creation
As long as Rare doesn't just fully allow it or completely ignore it (they won't do either) it'll be like a fire that burns 100 acres, it'll burn parts down but it opens up for activity that will regrow some activity that is currently gone.
I know it's often kinda forgotten but this is a adventure game with different types of players and not just a sweaty mcsweaterton pvp game after all.
