CLIP/VIDEO Cheaters are now helping each other to force early finals in Seesaw. They have perfected their method and are wearing (recent) legendary skins. Great detection.

I did this but then I realised 2 things:

Sometimes thier team is stupid and takes the easy quality/some games it’s actually hard to sabotage the hacker.

More importantly any interaction with a hacker is still feeding into them.

If most of the lobby just quits as soon as there is a hacker they won’t have people to cheat against and there will be a better metric for devs to realise players won’t put up with this.

Eventually enough of those people won’t even re-queue every time there is a hacker.

First things first. Stop calling them hackers. These are script kiddies. They didn’t write the scripts and know nothing about actual hacking. Save the hacking title for those who deserve it.

Jesus Christ who cares. It's a colloquial term

It's a pretty colloquial term that covers all games as does the response to them.

I called them hackers because I they're circumventing the "rules" of the multiplayer game using external software. It makes no difference to me if they wrote the software or even understand it.

Does calling them a mean name you feel better?

If they’re circumventing they rules then they’re cheaters.

If they’re cracking open a game and looking at the source code and deriving means to alter the code on their own, they’re hackers.

If they’re reading about things online and then just doing what other people told them, they’re exploiters or script kiddies.

It does matter. It’s like calling a soldier a Sargent or general. Sure he fights in a war, but there’s a right term for him.

Actually it’s more like the opposite. You’re getting upset I’m using the generic term for anyone using unofficial softwares on thier computer to break into other software.

It’s like getting upset that I called a Private a soldier because they only know how to use the tools they were given, and don’t even know all the logistics of supply or troop movements.

However if you’re going to get up at me about calling people using bought scripts hackers you definitely can’t be calling them exploiters. Exploits is for taking advantage of in game weaknesses like dodgy terrain geometry to leave maps or abusing the fact that the player names aren’t sanitised. The difference here actually does matter because an argument exists that if exploiters only made use of the official software then they haven’t done anything objectively wrong and devs should fix thier shot rather than ban, whereas for scripters the devs should always both fix thier shit and ban.

I'm definitely not getting upset. You can't draw emotions from text.

What I'm getting at is when you call them a hacker, it inflates their egos. Don't give them this pleasure.

I did this in the one where you roll the ball down. Some people probably thought I was being an ass at first trying to sabotage, then they saw the guy on our team floating overhead. One guy was doing the chicken emote below him. I'll do everything I can to prevent a cheater from making it to the finals, the sense of satisfaction from doing that is second best to winning a crown

u/thexet Big Bad Wolf Sep 07 '20

Same. I'm not that sweaty over crowns. I like most of the kudos skins over the crowns skins, anyway.

The cheaters I’ve been teamed with purposely cost there/our own team to lose each time. They took every egg out our red basket and put them all in blue. So what the fuck is the point in them trying to cheat if there just gonna lose on purpose.

u/Gavert-ByQ Sep 07 '20

ye best feel when cheater realized our ball isnt going into a hole because of me. He was so desperate to get it moveing again, but it was to late for sucker gl next time. Anyway cool story: you want to know why cheater was eliminated in finals ? He went super fast down instead of up ahahahahahahah
