Battlegrounds Still Full of Modders - What About the New Employee?

BeroMan

As the announced new person was hired to deal with cheaters however that's hard to believe when the situation in battlegrounds is worse than ever - full of modders... just met 5 modders consecutivly, with 500K hero rating accounts, without alliance and random symbol names in top places, doing 2 Billion damage single hits...Has that new employee done anything yet? Can you update us if anything is being done in this regard? or there is no hope.

if you thought that hiring one new employee would instantly remove all modders, that's unrealistic expectations

The old modder's didn't even got properly banned. They are still able to login and play, instead of getting perma banned like they should be

I’m suggesting that I believe that they’re making progress in banning modders, and while I do think they should be permanently banned rather than temporarily, I think the notion that *nothing* is being done about them is just not correct

What progress? I'm seeing so many of the same and new modders this season majority of the top leaderboards will be modders. No progress has been made and the company is silent on the matter it's not a good look

They provided something called a Cheating Update a week and a half ago. Do you want them to tell us every single time someone gets their account suspended?

Although I do agree with you that having modders back in the game who have been previously reprimanded is a bad call, there are only a few modders on the top of the leaderboard. I only saw 2 or 3 in the Top 20, which is a substantial improvement from past seasons

Giving them temporary bans instead of perma bans is not unrealistic though. I've never seen a single game that punishes modding with temporary bans instead of perma.

The biggest problem is people using units to buy elder marks and watching them get flushed down the toilet with 0 chance to win. It is not fair.

They should do away with elder marks until they have a legitimate handle on cheaters.

Banning then at the end of season is great and all, but it doesn’t help the others that have spent thousands of units on elder marks.

They don't give a [doody] about cheaters and they don't give a [dooky] about honest players.
I reported some of them in game AND by mail few days ago and they didn't ban them.

When we ask for compensation for objects used for nothing here is what they answer : "While there is no compensation planned for this situation, we wanted to let you know that if we do provide players compensation for this issue, it would be done through the in-game mail, so you can check there for updates."

When we put here screens of cheaters with their name, in the hour that follows the screen is deleted by the moderation team. They are much faster at Kabam to remove evidence of cheating than to ban cheaters. It's a fact, they don't care about players who play well.

Not saying that the concerns are not legit but what exactly are you expecting the PR guys to do with your screencaps? Because this is who the Kabam employees on the forum are.

Not covering it up would be nice. Especially when players are removing the names so there isn't a issue with breaching privacy

Dab_west

bruh these modders shouldnt be even able to make it to gladiator circuit, they should be flagged from going through victory track and people reporting them, so that they cant even enter gladiator circuit.

As Kabam has said repeatedly, posts are being merged because you folks keep repeating the same thing over and over and over in post after post. If you would have the courtesy to post in existing threads and not start new ones, a lot of us here would appreciate it.

This has nothing to do with merged threads it has to do with the photos they remove which don't even show names just the ridiculous damage numbers and under 10 second time frames.

I also experienced such 3 secs KO by opponents in BG, which is unrealistic. I always wonder how could they achieve that. Is it simply a BOT intervention which force KO by program?

modders are like starfish, if you know what I mean...
banning them for a week only works in their favor, on that week they create a new account... after the banned account gets unbanned now they got 2 accounts to use then so on.

SirGamesBond

It's a sad situation tbh.
Losing EMs is another thing but watching modders thrive and enjoy is on a totally different level of frustration.

Modding situation in BGs has clearly gotten worse than ever in this season
Even if we assume that too many efforts are being made to manage the situation, I'll still not call it "progress" as long as the results of those efforts are not visible on live servers

Progress in this situation needs to be measured by a visible decline in the number of modders....any other metric is irrelevant

When a new law enforcement officer is hired, does crime magically disappear?

I mean what do you expect exactly? You think them hiring a single person to handle all the cheating and modding in this game is going to make an immediate impact and you'd see no modders? That one person has to go through all their tickets from support and investigate. Kabam doesn't ban via IP address and even then, VPN's exist. We'll never see modders gone as long as there are good rewards to be had.

I dont see how your self awareness hasnt taken over yet.
They might aswell not have hired this new anti-cheat person because 1 person will not be enough to combat over 1000 modders.
If they actually want to deal with this, they need a team. Until that happens, BG is a lost cause for real. I know you defend Kabam at every turn. But having this poor anti-cheat is unforgivable for a game this size.

What would a team do? You can't prevent modders from making new accounts. No one wants modders or cheaters but even a team can't prevent them from happening. It sucks and makes me not even waste my time playing. But no amount of people in a team are going to stop modders.
