    As a result, we will be handing out the biggest wave of suspensions and bans to date over the course of the next few days.

    But the game will be empty

    Only joking, good riddance.

    Keep up the good work Natchai and team

    Thank you for officially declaring your stance on cheating and exploiting. Looking forward to balance and loot changes as well.

    Great step forward!! Can I just add, that players caught using hacks should have their accounts rolled back. They would have had an easier time getting all the loot than people using exploits, so I feel that this is a fair punishment to go with the 14 day ban. This would also be a major factor in deterring other people from using hacks.

    So everybody that exploited the incursion is safe ? And everybody that did not is screwed for the next one ?

    While i appreciated that after weeks you finally try to get your act together, ignoring anything that happened is a bad move for all the "honest" players.

    Question ... those who have exploited up to now and have full top-spec gear sets etc .... is anything going to be done in response to them? It's all very well now and I appreciate the change in stance but running around in the DZ with a GS of 180ish still puts us at a huge disadvantage against these uber-geared exploiters until you provide a route for the situation to equalize! Perhaps I missed something on the statement but doesn't seem to suggest any punishment for the exploiters to-date?

    I recommend that you also improve on your in-game reporting system. Also, consider providing reward for the report after the cheater is confirmed ban, that will at least help to reduce some of the grievous and provide "feedback" to victims that something is done.

    But, highly unlikely.....
    Maybe if people start putting in more info in these youtube videos, they can act better on them. Information such as date and time experienced so they can go back on their servers and look up the ienformation of the possible cheat. Far too many links here claiming "confirmed hacker" I've noticed to have a high possibility of lag, and some times people not seeing an explosion forming on their body from a single sniper shot with explosive bullets (which most times can cause instant downs). That's why they can't just trust what they see on youtube as solid proof.

    Good step but not enough

    I really think that someone who purposely installed a cheating/hacking tool should get a instand permaban.

    Was hearing from the Hammish stream yesterday and from the Massive employee comments on reddit, there is some sort of EU law prohibiting them to outright permaban someone, and first offense cannot be longer than 15 days. Again, not sure if it's real, but some others said it was some EU consumer protection law.
