Get rid of the bots

[_Balls_of_Steel]

Everyone knows they are in the game, everyone sees it. Why isn’t Gaijin doing anything about it? Because bots help reduce matchmaking times. I’d rather wait longer to get into a legitimate match than to immediately join one that’s half full of asian bots. FIX THE GAME.

[Fair Play] Fair Play: April 2025

[image] 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 4,268 accounts tha…

Ok, explain to me why we don’t even have the option to report a player for cheating or using a bot?

[Necronomica]

You can, a guide on how to create a correct report for each issue can be found here: (How to properly report players and contact Game Masters!).

For cheats/bots you have to use the server replay function.

I think they should have bots to fill lobby’s if there isn’t that much people but please take away their aimbot especially in assault sir arcade

This user is talking about players using bot-software to cheat and play the game for them. Not the in-game AI controlled vehicles. :)

I don’t cheat

[Necronomica]

I didn’t say you did, i said that is what this thread is about as it seemed like you had misunderstood the topic of this thread. :)

Seems to be an extremely inefficient way of keeping the game clean…did you know with little effort you can infiltrate the groups doing these abuses some are literally found just by a simple google search…seems to me you guys are just not really interested in actually being proactive and prefer to rely on players getting mad and finally report people. I like the Fair Play report but I just get the feeling you’ve missed the forest for the tree

I’m not part of the team that handles these things and have no insight into how Gaijin actually handle these things, but what i do know is that the average player has no idea of what the actual best way to combat cheating is. There is A LOT of things that goes into any anti cheat precautions that other players see as “letting cheaters keep playing” when in actuality that isn’t what is happening.

I recommend these videos to get at least a little bit of insight into how anti cheat GENERALLY works (Not saying that this is how Gaijin does it as i have no information on how they handle these things, but in general):

Many actions taken is usually about combating things long term and not just short sightedness.
