Staggered by the apathy demonstrated by some players here.
“If you don’t like cheaters then don’t play”
“What can FDev do about it?”
“Demonstrating the cheats by cheating is stupid”
It’s a protest. A damned good one as we are all talking about it. In the past month there has been more talk about cheating than ever before.
If you’re investing a serious amount of time playing this game then it’s only correct and right that you expect the developers provide an environment where you can play it the way it’s meant to be played without being inconvenienced or killed by somebody who is freely both breaking the EULA and the rules set up within the game.
The response from FDev historically has either been nothing’s or blatant whitewashing (wasn’t there a group who reported their friends for cheating FDev said they’d banned them and then they popped up and said “nope, we are still here”?)
It doesn’t affect me as I’m a PS4 Cmdr but the BGS and other elements these cmdr’s affect does affect me second-hand.
Plus it’s just something that doesn’t need to be tolerated.
I don’t care if FDev can’t fix this overnight. I do care that they care enough to do something about it.
Hell, some kind of checksum that uploads all your ships stats or something when you log out, and compares them when you log in - if they’ve changed then that means you’ve altered your ship client-side and so you can’t go into the game. I have no idea how this would work or even if that particular example could be implemented, but it’s more out in the open now so hopefully more discussion can be had and a solution worked towards.
