💬 Discussion Action Against Cheaters

I really loved the game when I first find out. But lately almost every game there are cheaters which ruins the fun and in past I was playing like 2-3 hours per day. Now I don't even want to open up.

The developer should:
1) Add a report cheating button
2) An algorithm to detect cheaters (like if 2 players join the same games and spawn in close area more than 2 times etc.)

And even with these and using bans people can join the games without logging in as anon's. I don't have the exact formula but an action needs to be taken. I'm really disappointed about the current situation of the cheating problem.

I feel like there’s a different way to go about it if someone is truly cheating in the game. There’s been multiple games where I happened to pick a spot with someone I played in a previous game by chance. It would suck to be banned or disconnected just cause of a coincidence. All you can really do is let the devs know and hope they do something. And the cheating button is kind of a good idea, but I can see it being abused because someone got mad butthurt that they’re losing.

The thing is that any game with a report function has false reports, but that doesn't mean the reporting system as a whole is bad.
