Another World First Clear got disqualified due to "Cheating"

[AllenThyl]

Says the Lalafell that is exactly 1 pixel on the screen...

I hope they still do level80 mainstory ultimate, it is what I am looking forward to.

So "the best of the best of the best" are doing everything to get even the most minuscule of advantage, even if it means violating the ToS and risk getting banned, but switching to Lala is just too much to ask?
Sweet baby Thaliak, one excuse more pathetic than the next.

Here's to hoping SE will just implement their own versions of these cheats exclusively for console players one day, since cheating will just forever run rampant and leave us at a disadvantage for the rest of the games lifespan.

The game was doing fine before those people showed up, it'll survive without them.

That's great, but this is also a business, it doesn't matter if it will "survive" without them, it matters that it makes more money with them, you are very naïve if you think anything else matters.

Oh, I don't think SE is going to do anything about any of this. I'm just saying the other guy was wrong that it would "kill the game".

a single red pixel

At this point if they came down hard on Mod users all the causal players and QoL mod users would get caught in the crossfire and thus lower that all important bottom line.

All cheats are cheats.

No modifications, dataming and other things is permitted, it has been stated loud and clear multiple times in live by the man Yoshi P himself, there IS no grey areas either whenever it get to it.

I mean, it actually might? not because it wouldn't be making enough money, but because SE execs have consistently displayed the mentality of "if it doesn't make all the money, it's not enough", and a live service game suddenly losing a huge amount of revenue would be seen as a reason to sunset the game, even if it was still turning up a decent profit.

Yoshi-P is on the board of directors. He is one of the SE execs. And he would likely explain before doing anything to stop mods like "there would be an expected loss in revenue, but it is overall necessary for the long term health of the game" or something.

How would he convince them that it would be healthy in the long term for the game, though? How many people are going to come back because mod-use was restricted? Is there really an audience that would play the game were it only not for people cheating to get world first twice a year or so?
