Try reading my previous posts in this thread regarding why there is almost certainly no anti-cheat. Here's the very oversimplified version: among other things, it is very unlikely that PGI, with a very small team, managed to implement an anti-cheat for a game running on CryEngine, which is notoriously vulnerable when CryTek, a company employing 700 people, cannot implement one for its OWN GAMES.
If this is not enough for you, then go read those previous posts in the thread I mentioned. It's very easy to find them.
"1- For the analogy, the criminal is on the most wanted list (this means they have committed some seriously bad crimes)."
The analogy is flawed from the start, because they have no way of knowing a "crime" was even committed, so how could they have compiled a list of "criminals"?
They were never in NKVA, sorry. Next.
If this was even a possible hack, I would say that PGI keeps records of MC transactions (https://mwomercs.com/profile/credits), so it could be compared against payment transactions to catch them, except anyone sophisticated enough to do this could easily cover their tracks to avoid getting caught.
If this is what you think "innocent until proven guilty" and "jury of peers" means...
e: ok, here's the elementary school version, so more than 5% of the posters in this thread can understand what I'm saying:
Developing an anti-cheat for anything is hard.
Developing an anti-cheat for a CryEngine game is even harder.
CryTek, a medium size company, can afford to hire people who received an actual education in computer science.
The same company, which makes CryEngine, cannot do it.
PGI is a much, much smaller company.
Therefore, it is very unlikely that there is any anti-cheat at all.
Never in eh....seem pretty 'in' from here. Doesn't matter cheaters gonna cheat and I could give two [redacted] if PGI has proof, let alone provides it. They made the game, they maintain the game, and they continue development of the game....they want to ban someone they don't have to ask my permission.
In the unit or not, I will be upset if PGI doesn't take a long, hard look at each and every player calling for / demanding detailed and explicit information about the protocols, policies, practices, and or methods PGI uses to detect cheating, then KEEP an eye on them all for some time to come.
PGI has made it clear they are not only responding to reports of / watching for cheaters, but are also willing to take steps to eliminate problems when identified. This is great news for all those who are not cheaters, and for those who are I hope you suckers didn't spend any real world dollars on this game, and start PRAYING they don't wait until after the next content drop before they drop then ban hammer on ya.
Ahhh, who am I kidding...I hope PGI shakes down all the cheaters for every penny they got before they drop the ban hammer on their punk @$$es. Take their junk, give em the boot, make sure they don't come back PGI.
