Trey24k “Anti-Cheat” is a bad idea.

In simple terms, BattleEye checks for modified files, cross references with known cheat builds, data analysis of stats, compiles a list of suspects and sends to Devs for them to review/ban.

Treys24k Anti-Cheat Discord, takes video submissions from the community, has vetted volunteers check out evidence, they compile a list of suspects and send to Devs for them to review/ban.

Video submissions.

In a game where Desync is a feature essentially. People literally watch Twitch Streamers all day and claim they hack when they don't. Now we got armchair warriors deciding who is gets put on a ACTUAL suspect list for review/ban.

I'm so glad that we experienced the Rengawr incident and decided to make it a part-time job for people.

How much review is BSG going to do into suspects from this Anit-Cheat discord before banning them?

We have already seen from the Rengawr incident that players can get banned fairly quickly when told their cheating by "trusted community members" Was any review put into that guy's account before he got banned or was it just check email, and see another dude that needs to be ban, because Sherpa said so?

You guys should really be worried at how much review BSG is going to give this list the Anti-Cheat Discord is handing to them.

At the end of the day you are still waiting on Devs to review the given information and hand out bans, but now we got armchair warriors deciding who gets put on a suspect list instead of an proven industry anti-cheat. Progress!

I can only believe that BSG agreed to it mainly for PR value.

BattleEye works. You just don't see the result. Now you've created a "system" where you believe results will be seen, but it won't.

Enjoy the false positive bans at the hands of streamers and their communities.
