As we know we have to deal with “cheaters “ now and then and we report them whenever we find some. In the forum we can’t talk about cheaters which is acceptable, but what are the outlines that we all should be aware of regarding “cheating “. There is No such guidelines available or if there is , I am not aware of like,
1. Is there any level of severity ?
2. What is the max Ban period or it varies?
3. Parameters that identify the severity
4. Should guilty account have all the achievements
I don’t know why there are gray area regarding “cheating “ and why there are no such guidelines listed in the forum.
I am not discussing anyone in person or particular regarding cheating so I assume I am not breaking any rules. But if I am please let me know what rule I have broken by posting this discussion.
Agenda - the rules and penalties should be clear and stated for everyone so that we all are aware of the potential threat if we cheat. No gray area all in black or white.

Punishment on the other hand is subject to discretion. That's true in most MMOs, as it is true in the real world most of the time as well.
If you really want to directly compare cheating in this game to the rules and laws of the real world, then technically speaking cheating in an online game is a real world offense. It is just as complicated as any other real world offense.
The point is to clearly mention the outlines of this cheating category. We all have assumptions but nothing concrete facts that we should consider. We can’t talk because of the privacy reasons I can take that point but why we don’t have such rules and penalties outlined till now. We don’t have enough information or something else ?
No comparison, it’s just simple rules should have outlined for everyone and the punishment, we all know the types of cheats so it’s not hard to pin down a list and make some rules.
The problem with that is you open people up to choose to break the rules based on the consequences they're willing to live with. It also varies based on transgression, which is why I said it's up to their discretion. The bottom line is any violation of TOS can lead to a ban, which is the ultimate form of punishment in this case. Unless there are some extenuating circumstances that lead them to pursue legal action. There is no such thing as a safe way to break the rules. If they see fit, they can ban you. Although we know that they treat cases on an individual basis. As I said before, the only certain security is to abide by the rules. Any other use of that information would be a violation regardless because it would inevitably be people disputing actions taken on other cases, which we've already seen, and quite frankly it's not our business.
Many things are cheating, including but not limited to account sharing. There is no grey area ALL cheating is cheating and prohibited. When cheating is caught, or admitted to, there will a permanent ban on the account.
Unless..... well i won’t say anymore so this thread tats open and doesn’t get deleted by mods.
Fair points, good post.
It’s like IRL when a celebrity commits a crime but walks. Meanwhile Joe Schmoe commits a lesser crime and then has to do time.
Like Credit Card Fraud
No one has been banned for account sharing.
Not one player.
The reason they have been banned was mods. Or scripts. They won't own up to it or their friends won't.. But it's true. They actually used to remove players from arena ranks and remove the champions but how many times have you seen account sharing arena grinders in the top spot.. s.. tbh ..
Why people jump to the conclusions , and you are talking about a person which means you are breaking the rules . All this post is about rules and penalties. If I address you directly and calling you out , I will break the rule. All we have to understand is freedom of speech, which we use recklessly without thinking of the consequences. I try to practice to think before I speak and I have to learn a lot.
