Grab your popcorn, it's watch the cheaters get banned day!

Prev1
Days like these are so fun! How do you guys celebrate these mini-holidays?

I personally celebrate by keeping a tab open at my desk for every cheater thread, and hitting refresh on them all every hour or so. It's better than a cup of coffee!

To the devs (and Ultra) who stepped up here: THANK YOU! We really appreciate you cleaning up the game of cheaters, and the added entertainment (long live the train guy).

    When someone cheats in every battle in GAC and says he doesn't cheat and doesn't know why he got banned:

    I wonder what causes it all to fall on particular days. Maybe the bans all happen in a large group and then everyone takes to the forums to plead their case? All the same, makes for great television.

    Its a mix of things

    CG are banning daily and on large batches in-between (each large ban wave has its own story and factors that led to it) and they are doing their due diligence for large ban waves but still a small handful might be legitimate players, so they do take all ban appeal requests seriously and some have gotten overturned by posting about it and making threads on forums

    We had one large batch yesterday so there will be a large influx today and next few days

    Can't say anymore than that nor do they tell me much about why xyz was banned or what the ban wave was for

    But if you did cheat in the past, or are cheating or have considered cheating in any part of the game such as:

    1. Any PvP game mode
    2. Any PvE game mode
    3. Resources (illegally acquiring Crystals, gear, mods, credits, etc)

    You will be caught and permanently banned, it doesn't matter if you have are a 100k GP player or a 10 million GP player (and you can see a lot of 9 mil+ players get banned on tracking discord servers), CG has a zero tolerance policy towards it

    You do it today, you might not be banned tonight but in a week or a month or so on, you will be eventually caught

    Hooray!! It makes me so happy to see that cheaters are being dealt with appropriately. Thank you CG!

    That's good to know, Ultra! thanks!

    I like how it brings us all together. We have our differences of opinions and argue here and there. But when it comes to dumping on cheaters, we're a family :)

    Ooh,that was a good one. How about these:

    "Well, you see, I had ChatGPT open and I asked it to play a GAC match for me and when I got back I had all these crystals. I don't know what happened, but I spent them fifteen minutes ago and I haven't cheated since then, so I think it's unfair that I've been banned."

    ChatGPT downloaded stolen credit card data to buy crystals to unlock every GL on my Alt in under a day. Has anyone ever seen a 100% FTP account like mine unlock every GL this quickly? 100% FTP to play, btw.

    On that topic...

    "So uh, I grabbed some popcorn but I think some of it got into my phone and messed around with some code."

    I think we might be at the risk of derailment now.

    This is why I don’t cheat. When I’ve thought about it for more than two seconds, it’s such a dumb decision to make. You will always get caught, especially if you’re dumb enough to do it in multiplayer.

    I had no idea it was possible to cheat in a game like this. It never crossed my mind.

    I don't understand why cheaters deny cheating and ask for their account to be restored. If someone is actually banned by mistake, they will never be believed because of them.

    Unfortunately, as might be obvious from them cheating in the first place, they don't care about other players.

    Seems most of the cheaters think it isnt cheating if it isnt in any arena or GA.
    Why wasn't Cobb Vanth shards a reward for the Krayt Dragon raid? Why wasn't Endor Gear Luke shards a reward for the Speeder Bike raid?
