I appreciate this post, thank you so much!

Cheaters are frustrating for us and our community, we dislike them as much as our players do. We've been honest with our community that our communication surrounding how we're fighting cheaters hasn't been the best, so we've made a conscious effort to change that. The recent cheaters blog[www.ubisoft.com] we put out brings players behind the scenes and shows them what it's like to deal with an influx of hackers who try and ruin the experience for our players, so I would recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

The TL;DR is this: We're putting new things in place to combat cheaters, as well as reinforcing the bridge between Ubi and BE so we can ban hacks faster. However, we could use the community's help as well! If you encounter a cheater, follow those steps above so we can investigate on our end and handle the issue internally. It's a collective effort, folks.
