Nope, but then again, I am not judge or jury. I trust PGI.

Don't worry though, I don't knowingly associate myself with criminals in the real world either.

Here's the thing going on in my mind, and I'm sure many of my fellow players:

You were banned because it was detected you were using wall hacks and/or aimbots.

Just because the account it was detected on was banned, and you've had to go through the trouble of starting up a whole new FREE TO PLAY account with nothing on it, as yet, YOU STILL have the wall hack and/or aimbot installed on your system, ready to be activated whenever you think you can get away with it, totally destroying the integrity of the match you're playing.

Personally, there's not enough tin foil in the world to keep me from being overly paranoid at the prospect...

I'm waiting for the flood of alts here vehemently denying the cheating. I hope their wailing pleas fall on deaf ears.

I'm more worried about the flood of alts that go into games with the express purpose of trolling/suiciding.

these people routinely betray positions of their inactive teammates i.e. violate their teammates very real trust but as a bunch of hypocrites claim that cheaters, whom they probably never or almost never seen, violate some vague 'community trust'

who did you the right to speak from the name of community after all? as for me cheats i.e. violation of the fair play in most of cases aren't equal to the actual violation of trust which is vastly more serious

Mechwarrior isn't just a game. It's a community, a very niche community. You do things like this, the reputation of the game suffers. This isn't CoD or Halo which have players to spare. We need every honest player we got and we need potential players to know that this is a fair and honest game. So yes, his betrayal is serious.

Honestly I can't tell if you're being argumentative, so I'll just try and explain myself. I'm not at all offended by anything you've said, so if I come off a bit harsh anywhere in this thread it's unintentional and I apologize in advance.

"These people", I'm assuming you're referring to the non-cheating community? And yes, I do frequently see people revealing the location of people who are DC'd, or apparently AFK (and who have been AFK since the start of the match) to hasten the end of the match.

People who accidentally DC are typically allowed a 'reasonable' amount of time to reconnect, otherwise we figure they're having a serious issue, or, if they've obviously purposefully hidden and shut down, THEN DC'd, are they themselves violating the CoC, and have zero intention of logging back in to try and fight the match.

Those that start out AFK and remain AFK for the entire duration of 11 other teammate's deaths... Well again, those people probably are having a serious technical issue and CAN'T get into the match, or never had any real intention on joining the match, so let's just end the friggin' match already...

CERTAINLY, revealing the location of a DC/AFK mech comes no where NEAR the severity of game disruption as using wall hacks and aim bots, any REASONABLE person would agree with that.

I'll consider myself having the right to speak in the name of the community, on this subject, for as long as my name doesn't show up on a 'cheating-banned' list.

and you have seen me cheat?

LOL. No, of course we haven't. BUT ... PGI has ... it is why aairu was on the ban list. That account CHEATED based on the identification and metrics used by PGI. Did YOU cheat? I have no idea. Did someone use that account to cheat. 100% YES according to PGI ... and under the circumstances I believe them ... and as a result the account is banned. If YOU did not cheat ... then you need to look to others in your household who used your account to cheat .. though it won't do you any good since the ACCOUNT is banned for cheating as it should be ...

Yeah, I can see some trolling coming up. Time to keep an eye on trial mechs.

so i shouldnt have the right to reply?

Nope, not at all. If you manage to convince PGI that you (or your friend) didn't cheat, then you account will be reinstated.

Until then, you're a cheater. Period.

you are right not cool to discuss in open forum.bit of a knee jerk reaction.all the best

[NocturnalBeast]

I am happy to see that PGI has addressed one of my main criticisms and is taking a hard line against cheaters. I am also amused to see the names of some of the self proclaimed "skilled" players on that list. I recall seeing some of these names at the tops of some of the class challenge boards, what frauds!

Also PGI has the right to ban this and every other account you open until such a time as you clear your name. BTW taking "the Blake" as your new screen name... not teh best idea as there is lots and lots of instances of the Word dealing dirty. Like how they helped the Clans, Stockpiled Nukes. Used Bio Agents et al.

No taking Blake as your name is not wise at all. You may as well have used Amaris!

Again, if you truly are 'aairu', you lost all privileges to associate with the non-cheating MWO community the minute you activated the 3rd parity 'aiming assistance' program, permanently.

The VAAAAAAAAAAST majority of us have NEVER done anything like that.

Why you feel you should be able to violate the community trust and still be a member of that community is beyond any reason.

Didnt you do that cockpit hack thing?

Well if he wanted to look innocent... The Word, of Blake... doesn't have a good track record.

    Only dabbled with the aimbot once or twice, and I am disappointed by it. Would much prefer the ESP function but somehow could only get part of it to work, either way, it was damn fun

blake had nothing to do to the word of blake though, not more than jesus to the society of jesus (jesuits)
it's the founder of comstar, the word is a later sect

though, imo his idea to save technology with a pseudo-religious society was detrimental to the progress in the long run

Hmmm....I am seeing several new accounts that registered just Yesterday...along with them being already concerned with this development and this thread for supposedly New players ....IS it a Coincidence?

Ah lovely I was waiting for someone to try and bring that up. Thank you for obliging:

PGI's stand on USER.CFG file modification:
http://mwomercs.com/...wo-game-client/

Additional confirmation from Bryan Ekman on the specific subject of the USER.CFG change to remove the cockpit:
http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__1348473

I hope you can see the difference between changing your USER.CFG, which is allowed, and the purchase, installation and activation of software that does something completely outside the design or intent of the game.
