I cant walk up to the cockpit and demand to enter in an airplane just because I want to be able to fly the way I want.

Lots of people will do anything to get ahead.
Good on respawn.
Defending cheating in an online game? I've seen it all on era.
Sad.
People will lambast you for not including a /s in the end there.
Sarcasm is dead on the internet, there are loons that legitimate think like this and ruined it for everyone
And letting cheaters run rampant in their games, ruining everyone else's gameplay experiences to the point that they no longer want to play their game is some how pro-consumer?
grow the fuck up
Because more bans = more copies sold = more moneis.
I wish CS GO and Siege did IP bans. But why prevent additional sales?
Losers. I still can't believe people PAY to get cheats...
I hope those cheaters are just kids...

There are a million of these hacking montages on YT. Most people are just going to settle for a cheap hack with a basic aimbot, but if you want to spend a lot of money, some of them get pretty fancy.

Hacker banned live on stream
This fuels me lol
Cheaters just getting smacked around and struggling to find their way is the absolute best
This better be a god damn joke. Cheat in Single Player games all you want, but the moment your cheats start negatively affecting other players in any way you deserve to get your teeth knocked out with the banhammer.
At least this should be pretty easy to verify (if you have a recent receipt/proof of purchase). Like email their customer support saying "I recently bought a new PC/parts for a PC and tried playing the game but got banned".
Poe's Law in full effect. I want to believe it's satire, but you never know.
Lol what?
So if cheating in online/multiplayer games is OK, you give a green light to cheating in sports and athletics then, yeah?
I love to cheat as much as anyone in single player games but I get great joy seeing people freak out, and their lame excuses, when they are caught doing it in multiplayer games.
What happens if I told you, I go around posting things I truly believe, but because they are soo ridiculous everyone online thinks it's satire. I hide in plain sight.
I want to enjoy competitive online games without cheaters ruining them.
Also wtf @ that avatar
It would be dumb done that way. It should be a combination of certain parts and then hashed so you can buy a used GPU from a guy once banned and you'll be fine.
To those asking why people would cheat and that it would obviously become boring in the long run: it doesn't for the cheaters. They'll simply get used to it and maybe even convince themselves that it's somehow not unfair.
In Dota 2 there are a lot of people who keep buying highly ranked accounts because they're completely convinced they deserve to have high MMR, and the only reason they don't is because of "being in the trench", some vague idea of being stuck in a trench with bad players who make it impossible to win for you, no matter what. So they buy high MMR accounts and, of course, proceed to lose about 90% of the games they play. Afterward, they finally release they were wrong and... Ah, just kidding. They'll still remain delusional and maybe repeat the process, even.
Seriously, you cannot underestimate how delusional many players get about their skill level in multiplayer games. They'll convince themselves that they have a right to buy high-level accounts, cheat or do whatever else. It would be nice if it were just people "trolling" others for a bit, but it's not the case.
Their delusions are usually also quite apparent when they do get caught, as visible in examples from this and other threads.

I'm still getting killed in half a second from full purple shield...but I suspect it's a mix of me being bad and lag. Apex netcode needs definitely some work.
The classic
The xbox live ban appeal forum was also a gold mine i still get a chuckle out of this one:
I'd be okay with them getting sent to the cheat dimension where the only players they can match with are other cheaters. The irony is best when they finally realize that matching against cheaters isn't fun.
So what happens if someone uses a service like Shadow or Pascal? You could also do a VM with GPU bypass. In all of these cases motherboard banning wouldn't quite work.
So? Most people dont buy mobos used and its a sacrifice thats worth it in the long run.
Having to replace a mobo get past a ban is a real pain the ass and is a good deterrent because of it
WHELP, now we know someone on this forum who uses Hacks....
There are bound to be hackers on this forum
I believe you're right. I'm pretty sure hardware bans also include the HDD as well.
Yeesh, I'm not sure that gives me much confidence, to be honest. Aimbot cheaters have gotten worse since, I dunno, maybe the middle of January and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of relief (i.e., fewer cheaters encountered per session). I've heard DICE got on top of the BF1 cheating situation after things had gotten pretty bad, so at least there's hope the same will happen here.
Thanks for the link. I know I sound pretty negative, but I do appreciate the info.
