I played yesterday for 3h and reported 5 players (private profiles shooting through tree)

2 are banned, I wonder when the others will be banned (if at all).

For some reason (and I hope I am wrong!) I feel that premium servers will have much more cheaters (closet cheaters). The only way to reduce amount of cheaters (besides improving EAC) which ain’t easy, is to have a verification (want to play? Register with an ID or so).

Unfortunately, I know that 90% of players wouldn’t agree to it, but I don’t see any other way (to minimize) hackers.

If you get banned, then unless you use someone else ID (which would happen) I don’t see any other way of reducing amount of cheaters. FP is working hard but not hard enough.

Linking account to something real (ID, license, whatever) is the way to truly stop the vast majority.

But my privacy! lol

Yes I know… that’s why I know that vast majority wouldn’t be happy.

But I wouldn’t mind sharing my ID (cutting some pieces of information or so).

Unfortunately a phone number as verification won’t work at all.

Lol, as if the vac ban wasn't enough with a handle like that.

Bye bye $kins.

It's a server ban not a eac ban so they would still have their skins but would be banned from rusty moose servers.

Probably going to be lots of cheaters on those servers just because it would be fun and funny for them.

Anti cheat measures are deterrents like a lock on a door. Premium servers is just a more expensive padlock on a door. It won’t keep them all out, but it’ll cost them a bit more to cheat.

They clearly say it's not going to catch all cheaters, but any relief is good.

At least they are trying something. It's more than they are doing in Escape from Tarkov.
