    Which means it has no value.

    Why continue to believe it has any value when you attribute it to mean cheating? All the value has been compromised at that point. And that's just looking at it without considering the actual rewards of having an SHD above 1000.

    Again, which means it has no value.

    Simply saying it has value for the sake of disagreement without any explanation doesn't make it so. You get crafting materials and bumps in health, a stat that has been useless since Berserk was removed from the game. Division is not the type of game where a high alternative level (SHD level) means this player is some divine God with crazy high stats, and if you believe high SHD is the result of cheating, then why continue to take it serious?

    I mean one game i played had it's "prestige" system upped from lv25 to whooping 500 AND fixed a bunch of exploits so people couldn't just instantly farm levels, it didn't take a single day to see people at prestige 500 that were rightfully banned for cheating.

    The point is that people did cheat despite getting nothing out of it, i do think that 10k is a very suspicious number since most i saw were around 2,2k which i know is doable just a very ****ty grind, so absurdly dubious numbers just smell llike cheaters walk free that makes the community rightfully mad due the long standing issues with leaderboards and so on

    I play on Xbox. I think I have just surpassed SHD 1700. I started playing the game in October, 2019, so a little more than a year. I bought WoNY about a month after it dropped and lost my job in March. I was unemployed for seven months during a pandemic and had a lot of time on my hands. And so have a lot of other people.

    I run my open world on challenging, this is due to pure laziness on my part. We (me and my clan mates) run most missions on heroic anymore, unless we just want to get them out of the way... Potomac Event Center, Roosevelt Island, Manning... But I have a clan mate that runs everything on Heroic with four directives all of the time. If I had done this, I think I would be nearing SHD 7000 or beyond.

    I have seen other players with SHD >2500 or 3000. I even saw a player with SHD over 4400. I have no idea if they cheat. Can one cheat on console?

    And since nothing of value comes after SHD 1000, why would someone be upset at another player having a higher SHD level than them? Jealousy? I don't say this very often but... who cares? It's just a level that indicates playtime.

    And there's a difference between how players achieve SHD levels (the OP) and cheating that actually stops the progress of other players (your concern).
    Every point has an effect on the game , like every cheat or glitch has effected the game , leader boards shd etc is just another look at me i cheat medal , 10k may well be doable if you run in teams all the time ?. i run solo so no idea how many points you can muster in a team ?

    I do not care about leader boards or shd i do not not care if players cheat , as long as they keep it to the game and not other players ..

    And no i am not jealous i play at my own pace , and play solo , so the only time it effected me is when i entered the DZ , But i never do now as they nerfed it to death because of cheaters ..

    so to say who cares ? we care we want the game to be the best it can be. but it NEVER will as the devs do not listen and use cheaters to nerf our gear . they allow cheaters to find the glitches so they can try and fix them,

    Cheaters look to be the devs best friends .

    Saw you ingame once at dc base not long ago, you were at 5.5k or so, that I can belive. Not much more than me, I would be there if I had no life. 10k and over not so much. Especially at raid 2 release.
    No life plus abusing warhounds and target practice when you could. Then I guess you're at 10K+
    Massive banned all abusers is simply not true. We all know that.

    Ignorance is bliss in this thread. I also love the "no life" comments people often make. Of course if people only play 1 game efficiently they will have a higher than average SHD level.

    I know people who do nothing but farm SHD points for several hours a day and they are well above 10k but that's something I don't have the patience or desire to do but each to their own as long as they are having fun. Some of these people are streamers so it's their job.

    Being above 1K SHD doesn't make someone an ultimate agent. It doesn't make them a better player. To me it's just someone who has dedicated alot of time into the game.

    I don't understand why people get so irate over SHD level. It's more important to me to play the game at your own pace, have fun with friends, make new friends in the community and be happy with life.
