    How many dam cheaters are there? (I refuse to call them hackers cause hacking implies a skilled programmer)
    Think of it this way, in that 2 hours on 1 persons DZ there were 9 people hacking(cheating) that got a 2 week ban in 2 hours, imagine how many people there are on everyone's DZ they go in, they have found the perfect way infront of 1000's of stream follower's to see someone hacking(cheating) so its a case of 1 hacker vs the entire stream community, if they are justified and not hacking they will need a strong case to deny themselves but tbh it's pretty easy to tell the blatant hackers(cheaters) from the discreet one's, so it will be interesting to see if they can in fact catch them all and remove them completely from the game, i doubt they can get them all but at least they can remove a majority while they work on removing the rest. I actually watched it as it happened and it was good i hope they put a rebroadcast of it up

    It wasn't as random as you think.

    Not because Hamish experienced it. But because it was witnessed by many others on live twitch stream. After that there was no denying the issue.
    True.

    I don't know what anything besides a permanent ban is going to accomplish when it comes to hackers. 3 day ban? He probably would barely notice, 14 day ban? Gives him time to find more hacks. Permanent ban? "Wahhhh I won't do it again I promise, my dog was using my computer, it wasn't me!!"

    While it was nice to see action finally being taken there so much more to be angry about than happy about. I mean all I got from all of this is that you gotta be friends with an Ubisoft Dev to play the game properly because if you dont.... Sorry buddies! The streamers are known glitchers and exploiters on top of everything else sooooo its almost like a slap to every legit players face and then some. I truly believe this was just an act of publicity. They want people to think something is actually being done when its not. What other reason is there to start addressing cheaters/hackers in such a high profile stream?! If they really did care they would just suddenly start banning cheaters each and every day and the quality of playing experience would slowly rise. But that isn't the case. Ubisoft is just gonna keep ****ting on its legit customers as usual.

    I'd imagine a metric *** ton of /report XXXX were filed, but if they're providing videos, seems to me someone wouldn't go through the trouble of jumping through all the hoops that UBI/Massive require to report if there wasn't something shady going on.
    They shouldn't need regular players to report anything, they just need to do a few searches on youtube and they would have a mountain of information about the problems with the game.

    What you saw was literally a vertical slice of their cheat-catching plan. The eyeball test.

    What measures they have on the backend to find others, we don't know, but based on the bans being handed out today, we can assume that there is some sort of self-monitoring system that flags suspicious behavior

    They probably don't have the funds, and/or, people to do that, so, it probably won't get done, that way.

    People are badly over-estimating a hacker's resolve here.

    2-week ban is a pretty substantial ban for someone who literally spends time searching for hacks on the internet, downloading them, installing them, activating them, and then learn how to use them.

    Hackers aren't casual players. They are people invested in this game.

    2-week ban is a good first penalty. Clean up your sh*t, or **** off.

    I would also imagine that those that are 2-week banned, would get some sort of advanced monitoring of their behavior when their 2 weeks is up, so that permaban kicks in pretty quickly if they eff up again.
