Can we get information on actions taken against PvP-related cheating and griefing?

As some of you may know, cheating, win trading, and rank buying have all been problems with ranked feast, leading to a lot of players not wanting to participate or compete for rewards. Unfortunately, it looks like the same kind of activity has carried over into crystalline conflict, and I'm seeing a lot of people rightfully upset about it.

There are a lot of people who don't want to play because of all of the reports of win trading and cheating. I've seen a lot of people complaining about cheaters in particular, with some screenshots showing the power of one cheat drawing a lot of attention. A lot of people are calling for major changes to solve these issues, but that's going to take a lot of time.

While we're waiting for more permanent solutions, would it be possible for the GM team to give some basic stats on what they're doing against PvP-related cheating, win trading, and other unsporting actions? Having this information out in the open would go a long way toward restoring confidence in ranked crystalline conflict, meaning more people would play because they think the matches are fair. And more people playing would also reduce the chance anyone encounters a cheater or win trader, making the experience better for everyone.

Even a simple post in the style of the weekly RMT reports (those titled "Actions Taken Against In-Game RMT & Other Illicit Activities") would do wonders to help the community. This doesn't have to be a recurring thing; just one post one time would probably be enough. While this won't be a permanent solution to cheating, win trading, and other issues in PvP, it should give the community enough of a boost to get through the immediate times and make season one of crystalline conflict remembered positively.

I've had little faith in the quality of STF's enforcement ever since that LL interview they had some years back where their response to complaints about cheaters in PvP (Which was not even where the bulk of the complaints were being directed) was "keep reporting them".

Because that's been totally working when the same pool of people have been cheating FL, the Feast, and now CC for years without any punishment.

nah, all they'll do is suspend some poor soul for popping a firecracker over a defeated opponent. Dontya know, it's what's ruining the game! lol If I ever get suspended for emoting "victory" in pvp, I'm cancelling the sub, i can tell you that much.
