[Fair Play] Fair Play: February 2025

Each month we share information about accounts that have been banned for cheating or for violating the TOS. We thank you for actively reporting players who aren’t playing by the rules: it really helps us! You can use the battle replay function on our website to report players who you suspect have violated the game’s Terms of Service and the License Agreement. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.

Banned accounts

Since our last fair play, we’ve banned 5790 accounts that were found to have violated the rules. Specifically 3.2.3 of the EULA namely in the automation of gameplay (using bots) and cheat software.

For complete transparency, we’re publishing the full list of these banned players. This list will be available for two weeks after the publication of this article.

Recommendations

We recommend that you set a strong password for your account and enable two-step authentication in your profile security settings. We have the following 2FA options available: email, SMS, TOTP (Gaijin Pass/Google Authenticator), and Telegram bot, which we suggest trying if SMS 2FA messages are not reaching you.

We’d also suggest that you turn on 2FA for the email that is linked to your Gaijin account for additional security, as this will protect your account from fraudsters. And remember, don’t use prohibited client modifications and never share your account information with anyone.

Nice! I’ve had several ‘the payer you reported has been punished’ messages over the last weeks, good to see them in this list!

Has anyone else noticed or experienced an uptick in playerd J-ing out before being damaged/eliminated? Or they dive into the ground before you can attack them? Im curious if that is something Gaijin is seeing too. Almost every top tier match I’ve played lately has had at least one player do this, on either team too.

I’m surviving the urge to not post some “You’re banned” meme. Always the same.

That time again when community support page explodes. And the forums too.

But it doesn’t cost nothing.

Funny

It’s amazing that there is a new round of bans.
However, this should happen continuously! It can’t be that cheaters can mess up WT for a month or even more (if not caught in one round). It further has to be noted that still many long time cheaters are still active - just saw a video today of one with ~800 matches, >5K/D and ~250 nukes. Please finetune the

No whiney ‘but, but, but… aliens made me do it/the dog hacked my account’ comments yet?
I’m disappointed.

Glad you didn’t forget the song :)

Your system is sadly not working, at least whenever I report someone.

I reported the same guy about 10 times in a row. Yesterday he sent me a message to brag that he wasn’t banned in the February list (and to call me stupid), although I did get him to stop playing for a while it seems since he wasn’t going to waste time on an account that he would lose.

Anyone who gets 13 kills in ground sim is either very good + lucky OR a cheater…

Who brags about not getting banned a DAY BEFORE you publish your list?

How much more proof do you need?

Shooting through smoke, tracking player behind buildings, shooting down helicopters 3km with an MBT, chasing the last player across the map when he’s never come close to the cheater, the list goes on.

Reporting doesn’t work… making videos doesn’t work…

Such a waste of my time… again!

Why are we not informed about the transactions made to the accounts we complain about?

Great, I’m glad we can get those annoying team killer and cheaters out of here.

Edit: Also, is anyone else having an issue with the forum saying ‘you must play a game to use the forum’?
