Oh yea why didn't they think of that. Just do
If (player.is_bot()){ player.ban(); }They should hire you to run the anticheat team
Jesus thanks for this, we've been looking for a solution for years.
Yknow. Huge props to you guys for hanging around the subreddit when half the posts are saying you’re doing your jobs wrong. That must be an incredibly stressful job to do.
Haha, yeah if you can't take criticism you probably shouldn't become a game dev.
I think the (silent) majority understands there is no easy fix or button to press to solve the problem, but we still understand the frustrations around it. Most of us are gamers just like you after all, sharing the same kind of frustrations.
Only thing that makes me sad is when people think we're just postponing these sort of problems, or that we as a team literally don't care about the effects of them so we just let it happen.
Though I am aware many of these posts are just made for le meme and some free karma and honestly I'd take a passionate meme-filled community any day over players who don't care if their game hits the fan.
Is there a reason you can't just hire someone to bot bust all day?
I'm not in the anti-cheat team so don't quote me on this: But to my knowledge manual bot-busting is very unsustainable and doesn't really make a dent. Better tech helps, which is what they are and have been working on for a long time (as mentioned on one of our previous live streams).
You can't really solve it by throwing money or more staff on it. If that were the case, very few games would have botting/cheating issues.
