The anti cheat system

[KaedrianLiang]

The gaming industry standard is to observe reported/detected violators several times over the course of months. That way false positives are next to non-existant.

There are severals methods to determining violators that are used in conjunction with each other.

Logged server data, example: Player1 has been harvesting crystals for up to 8 hours a day straight, in the same pattern. Player1 was killed by a roaming A rank NM 10 times in a row in the same spot and continues to return, teleport and wander into the same spot to their death.

GM/investigator observation, example: GM/investigator while invisible or hidden observes player2.

GM/investigator tries to initiate a random conversaion, example GM/investigator sends a tell to player3, "hello player3, i noticed you are an avid battlegrounds goer, and you seem to really like Alterac Valley, i was wondering if you have any feedback about the current state of the game, also how's the weather IRL in your area?" GM/investigator waits for a proper response.

Detection/Triggers Automated anti-cheat: This is like a warning system. *CHEAT DETECTED ALARM GOES OFF AT GM OFFICE* GM/investigator's dont take a closer look until same trigger goes off several or a dozen times for the same offending player.

There's more, but you get the idea.

OP makes a tread explaining, if you had read it entirely, that improvements could be made to the anti-cheat system including being able to see why you were temporarily suspended and have the ability to defend those accusations prior to the suspension ending.

You read the first sentence and like a machine reply solely about how the anti-cheat system works and defend it without regard to the overall theme of his post. Kind of suspicious to me that you would not reply to what was presented in the OP in its entirety. Makes me wonder if a bot posted that using your account. Wonder if we should report your account for suspicious activity.

Then again I suppose the forum has policies that ensure "false positives are next to non-existent".

See how these things get started?

By the way "next to non-existent" doesn't mean never, it means that a possibility exists (though slim) that an error in the system may have occurred. And that is why I agree with the suggestions the OP made that you glossed over.

OP, please listen to others who have said get a token or the security app. Sorry this happened to you if in fact you did nothing wrong (and may have been hacked, etc.).

I worded that specifically for your exact reply. Your whole post is the intent behind my choice of words. Thank you for detailing that.


Anyways. You aren't on Tonberry.
