Well, I didn’t know about that, it may be the reason for the rise in players, but even so I don’t have any confidence in the developers after so many years of disappointments, that’s why what I said wouldn’t seem strange to me.
The boycott never really caught on anyway. Hell even some of the guys who purportedly ‘organized’ it were discovered to have played the game on that day.
Which means that some of those who started the boycott were not principled players.
Still, my point stands. The boycott never really caught on.
I’m not telling you that you’re not right, also in my opinion, making a boycott due to the economic issue when there are much more serious problems in the game and that have been in the game for many years without being solved was a bit absurd, although I’m not saying that it is Legitimate, but is that it, why isn’t there a boycott based on the bullet damage model? It’s like the War Thunder community, you couldn’t ask for more.
I’m not gonna comment on that, since the boycott isn’t what I’m trying to argue about here.
My point is that the whole “Gaijin is using banned/bot accounts to inflate player counts” is a pointless and baseless conspiracy theory. Your insistence on bringing that up continously isn’t contributing to anything here.

“Ignoring completely” would be the correct way to describe it. They almost never delete anything that isn’t some kind of trolling. The botting issue was one of the exceptions before they officially acknowledged it.
I’ll believe things when there’s concrete proof of it. Doesn’t matter if it’s from Gaijin or a player. Both can’t be trusted imo.

Are you also more than 10 years in the game?
It is completely correct that you do not trust either of them, but for example on reddit they put images of the game, and gaijin has not shown anything at the moment, and yes, the images can be manipulated, but there are images, you can take the images believe or not, but for the moment of gaijin you can only have faith, because they don’t give any more.
Coincidence? I think not.

so asterasq has changed name to 11121241 and has played 5195 arcade ground battles in since August 10th. Hmm, 10 battles per hour for 21 days straight without any pause … looks totally legit.

He is still banned, same like other from the list. I guess there is some bug with ban status display. We are investigating what’s wrong with that.
You can see he got his status displayed properly on RU language version of the site here. Sorry for confusion guys, it’s just a display bug, nothing more.

Must be Very good Energy Drink and gaming chair
Thanks for the clarification.
How come I see sooo many shoti sqaud members that all play the same boat the same way every game like a swiss clock and for inhumanely amounts of time i.e. 45 days of play on a 45 day old account ??? Do you or gaijin have a reasonable explanation cause 45 days of no eating or sleeping =Death for humans

Given there’s no new list, I guess they didn’t ban anyone in August?

I gave up spending after every match 5 to 10 minutes to report bot bombers. Currently i only report them if i watch a replay of a good match…
I see some of them for months now and they are still active.
They are destroying any serious attempt to have fun in Air RB - either your brainless fighters tailchase bot bombers to the map border (and/or to our af aaa) or the enemy does it.
Are there any plans by gaijin to change this???
Btw - i read some years ago that minors in China are not allowed to play video games monday to friday - does anybody know if this is still local law? Thx in advance!

Has far I am aware they still have a very hard Video game law but afaik it’s not day based but they can only play a few hours and not past 10 pm or something like that
Ps you were Right
“A new Chinese gaming law, implemented on September 1st, 2021, prohibits any child younger than 18 from playing video games during the school week and limits them to no more than one hour per day (from 8 PM to 9 PM) on weekends and public holidays.” Copy from an article
Damn that’s hard
Wait doas gaijin Check for age Pretty sure they do
Means every Chinese player that isn’t 18
And is playing outside those times is either a bot or breaking the law interesting

Just curious, but are you actually doing something about this Russian B25 problem?
I’m reporting my ass off here and today almost reported a real player in Air RB. At the start at the match I just shoot at a few B25’s to see if I get a reaction. Or (more politely) I ask if the B25’s are real players.
But it’s getting more annoying every day, because it’s im possible to use my Yer2’s (bases are gone by the time I get there) and I have to take risks to get my Big Game challenge for today. I have to dive in My Russian A20G to get there first.
Not Fun…
