Thanks for your insight into the system. I don’t want to talk about specific individual bans in isolation. That devolves the conversation, but using the experience to provide feedback definitely helps.

I should’ve specified that I was replying to someone else and not your post OP.
Can you elaborate? I don’t use nvidia profile inspector, but a mod/dev said it wasn’t cheating. I don’t think you can shoot through rocks/objects anymore. Once you hit someone you see their name tag for like 10 seconds, so you can track them through bushes easily. I don’t see why any of this would be an issue.
But you do highlight a major issue with the ban system. You are told you were banned for “cheating” and you violated section 3, play fair, of the code of conduct. They give 4 reasons they might ban you under section 3, play fair:
- Do not exploit bugs or other unintended uses of game features.
- Do not cheat, bot, hack, or use other software or services that give you an unfair advantage through, for example, unattended gameplay or game modifications.
- Do not engage in real-money trading of in-game items and in-game currencies.
- We reserve the right to determine what constitutes unfair play and to take corrective action we deem appropriate.
That’s a lot of stuff that falls under “cheating,” and they don’t tell you anything. If they simply told me I’m not allowed to shoot people in bushes, as you are suggesting, I wouldn’t shoot people in bushes.
I can elaborate. There are spots in the OPR map where you can hit players with a musket where you shouldn’t be able to. I thought you might know this. You acknowledged it before in other threads.
Also. If they do use profile inspector. A person might think they’re safe where they’re not and assume cheating. Seems pretty damn simple.
Oh, I’m not familiar with that stuff. I play on the objectives mostly. Any musket player playing like that isn’t getting many kills.
But you were in another thread and you suggested it was possible. No, I’m not going to go back and look for that thread but it’s common knowledge, shots through rocks. Sure.
Here’s where you act like you don’t know what I’m talking about:
I don’t want to over take this person’s thread, but I likely said in my 2000 hours of gameplay I’ve never been able to shoot through an object. I don’t know how people ever did it.
I doubt that you care but I record 100% of my game time and I can guarantee you won’t find me outside of the map or shooting through objects. KipppNw on twitch.
Yeah, sorry for the hijacking of your thread OP.
I don’t doubt you… I play on Ygg and have dealt with Chongal, he’s shot me a few times, never reported him once lol. But I do know what’s out there.
I’m just expecting them to tell you want you did wrong, so you know not to do it again. It is not unreasonable.
How can anyone tell you what you did wrong if you’re using an undetectable aim bot? Not saying you’re using it. But people do.
How can you prove they are using an “undetectable aimbot?” You cannot just ban people without evidence. That would just allow players to witch-hunt other players, which I guess is happening now.
Like I said. Fix the terrain. Not allow profile inspector or alike programs. It’s touchy because you don’t want to punish the good players. But you also don’t want every arsehole to think they can pretend they’re great and get away with it by cheating. If a person streams and they’re good, then they probably think they can aim bot without consequence when they’re not streaming. C’mon. How do you not see it the same way?
I don’t report musket users but to not see it like this is delusion.
That is fine. They should just tell you that. “Stop shooting through the terrain” or “stop using nvidia profile inspector.” They currently tell you nothing and leave you guessing what you did wrong.
Please try and stay on-topic. Fixing the terrain doesn’t make the report, ban or appeal system better. Thanks
Also never been banned. Later cheaters.
What’s your in-game name? Macedon?
Yeah okay pal. Try again.
It’s nothing related to my forum name in any way. For a reason.
Why’d you ask, that’s a better question.
As not an Amazon employee, they should have all the information on specific individuals available right? I would imagine that there must be some sort of history server side that they have access to and are able to see. So, for example bots. They should be able to see that this particular account has done the same exact inputs hundreds of times in a row. For aimbot for example, they should be able to see what percentage of your shots you hit, where you hit who, etc etc. Then you can just cross-reference the data and/or if you had a mod team that literally went around in god mode spectating suspicious players its pretty easy to tell if its cheating, exploiting terrain for example, a bot etc. Then, once banned they could tell you exactly why you were banned. Would solve the mass report problem as well. If someone gets reported dozens or hundreds of times then you just spectate them for a bit and check their history because once you’re banned it seems like a coin flip on if you can ever get unbanned or not. Like I was explaining in an earlier post, after dozens and dozens of ban appeals, its just been auto responses which doesn’t help you 1. know if you were even justly banned and 2. if you were what you did wrong
