What cheeses my opinions is why can't Fat Shark just ban them or something? Must be very easy to identify.

I understand that sentiment, honestly, and it has been echoed internally. However, standing AFK in the keep isn't strictly against any terms, rules or EULA. That's on us, I suppose, for not forseeing folks would do that when we wrote it. At the same time, the game should have protections and systems in place so players who encounter these poeple can just block them and move on with their lives / evening's entertainment. That is squarely on us, and we're working to address it.
So Fatshark can’t police their own game in this instance due to an oversight in the EULA? Is it a difference between US and EU law? Pretty much every EULA I’ve ever read from US game developers include a clause that allows them to terminate accounts for pretty much any reason they want.
It's kind of a cheap scummy clause. Sure, it would have helped here, and a lesson for the future perhaps, but ultimately banning people for going AFK is a cheapshot. I believe these people to be showing us we should be doing better with the QOL features (and in fairness it is working).
Yeah, but this happened a year ago and you said the same thing then. So is anything ever actually getting implemented? Plus I've watched a video of one of these guys life leech sucking random players in the keep before the video got taken down, it's not just AFK hosts.
And this part

Players have been asking for QOL features forever, but this is what's getting you guys to take it more seriously? And you won't punish it?
edit: edit: wasn't a ban but a suspension, sorry for being extremely petty
Hey spatnakc. We spoke via helpdesk, hopefully the situation is clearer now. We're not banning anyone, but we're timing out folks we can verify to be holding up the game for other players who just wanna kill rats.
