The Continued Concern of Win-Trading in The Feast

[Rufalus]

Wow the position hack person not being appropriately punished... Using third-party tools to do things not possible during normal gameplay for an unfair advantage is almost the worst thing a person can do. It damages the quality of the product, damages the game experience of legitimate customers. The only worse thing would be a ddos attack on the servers for mass disruption to players lol.

Knowingly using tools to damage the game cannot be tolerated and should result in the most severe punishments. Permanent ban from the game on first offense, maybe? It's not like tool-assisted cheating can happen by accident. A very small amount of customers would be removed by the bans as there aren't actually many bad eggs who go as far as position hacking (apart from RMT bots who already are banned for RMT reasons) but the game would be improved a lot for a large number of honest players by just removing those few cheaters.

Even though I stopped playing pvp in this game, I still lend my support for this cause. Nothing is more demoralizing than losing your ranked match because someone intentionally threw for the purpose of win-trading. The Devs should consider some of the more effective feedback ideas that many players have thrown out in order to deter cheating and ensure fair play is done in pvp. This would also entice more players to participate in pvp but are not doing so because they don't want to be the victim of a win-trade match.

Wintrading has a far greater impact since there is a ranking system with rewards to gain from it. Selfish players are getting their way with noone to stop them and this is making the community frustrated/angry. It's genuinely sad to see that people feel the need to cheat this way and even more sad that the PvP community that have stuck around for so long are feeling deflated and simply given up on 4v4 Feast altogether.

Changes should have been made since wintrading has been an issue since Season 1. Almost a year and half has passed since then and we still have the same problem, except it seems to be a growing problem. SE, please sort this as a matter of urgency before more players decide to leave the game altogether.

The proposed solution of having the ability to save replays is a good idea in my opinion. Not only will this allow us to re-watch awesome matches or learn from replays but it should give GMs more tools to better assess wintrading.

I'll bump the topic and state that I don't PvP ranked play in this game specifically for these reasons stated in OP. It's much to fusterating.

100% Support this, this needs to be heard.

Another funny thing is that while people who use actual hacks (that are actually caught) are only slapped on the wrist, it is well known SE will perma ban people for being "mean" all the time, especially before the chat ban when players could actually talk to each other......

But it is like Yoshida says, they really only have chat logs to go off of so it's easier for them to ban mean players with permas than hackers/boosters/cheaters with even a temp ban and a rating wipe.
