How does that gel with this…
You know unequivocally that every single player that posted times that were impossible without knowingly exploiting a bug were cheating, i.e. breaching the TOS / EULA. You’ve already done the investigations and confirmed it because you are removing them from the Leaderboards for the event. You know, with 100% certainty, that they cheated and yet you’re not even taking away the rewards they obtained by exploiting. These players should be suspended / banned.
The entire reason for posts like the OP’s is precisely because players can see evidence of blatant and long-term TOS/EULA breeches and you are not punishing the transgressors.
Heck, it’s not just cheating that isn’t being addressed. A few months ago I contributed to a thread where people were complaining that players who were openly making TOS/EULA breeching comments (being openly racist / antisemitic) in World Chat were being reported, multiple times, by many people and were not even being removed from chat, let alone removed from the game…
This is a long-term problem.
