My take on the whole cheater s**t storm.

First of all Im not going to waste my time giving my stats or time played, an argument should be based strictly on its merit and not on subjective skills of the player. Statistics may count but it depends on the reason.
Seccondly i wont respond to any comment that is trolling or is obviously flawed.
Thirdly i do love the game and want it to succeed. I do not hate any group of players.
Here comes the text wall:

I had to think hard about this from all sides and to try to analyze the cause of the uproar and then to figure out why i as a individual am compelled to try to post this here. There was a story that i read somewhere, a bunch of lab chimps had their caretaker almost killed cause they where jelous for not getting cake like the one that had its birthday. Important thing to note here is that the anger came from the fealing of being robbed of something that they thought they deserve. Im not saying anyone is a chimp here but we do have a lot in common.

My thoughts are that any prize is worthless if its not earned. Prize in this game is either wining a fight and getting loot or that feeling of joy after you outsmarted a player and ambushed him/looted stuff and successfully extracted.
Thats why you get two types of people, the "chad" and the "rat" gang. Now the "cheater" gang get their kicks out of outsmarting players too, they just do it out "of the box", they think they are smart for choosing the obviously winning option, and so they get shunned by the former group. The way to balance this isnt obvious or easy cause all multiplayer games have this problem, but there is an apparent lack of hackers in less competitive games, so should we make it easier so more people can survive it and not get angry for losing the duel with hackers, no that wouldnt slove anything. You would lose the satisfaction of being successfull in a test of skills and lose interest in the game and the cheaters would still anoy you. Then maybe we should close off the China players cause of their overall mentality of "winning by any means"? At first it might look like its working but whoever was cheating can get a way back in through vpn's. Also you punish players that dont cheat. Well then maybe we should put some preassure on the "devs" group to "solve this mess cause i payed you and i expect results". People seem to live in this bubble that prevents them to see devs as just regular people, they might be good at their jobs but this problem is one that hasnt been solved since the begining of time, you cant expect the gaming industry to solve it in a few years just cause you havent been used to wait for your cake. If you think its easy then youre arrogant.

We spent our money for something that we liked, now someone is ruining that, what options can we pick and get what we want? Well what can really be done? From all the main options only the China ban can do anything really but for how long, and do you really believe that other nations wont buy cheats? If we destroy the game reputation that only hurts us in the end. So it is my opinion that you cant really do anything but ignore it and play, as in life, when you lose a "battle" you dont give up, you dont have a choice. You push on and try to reduce it in the future.

My suggestion is that we all take it down a notch and just enjoy the game. Hackers in the labs? Stop going to labs. Player killed you with cheats? Just realize that he is a corrupt lost soul and he wont find any happyness in hos ways. Think you are being wronged by the game? Realize that the game isnt that important in the grand scheme of things, if you need something to spend your time find a singleplayer game that gives you the same fealing and just opt out of the multiplayer, you dont need to spend your fun time on s**t that makes you misserable.

Hope i didnt get too boring for you guys.
