Forums: “Ban waves only happen once every 6 months! Botters never get banned outside waves!”
Forums: “You can automatically ban botters by reporting them!”
The forums and their contradictions never cease to amaze me. This guy is claiming an automatic ban system exists to cut down on CS work and at the same time is saying that it’s impossible to get enough people to report cheaters to get the system to activate.
Bizarre.
Very much so.
There was a thread created earlier this week just like this one. The guy claimed that he wanted to just grind out honor and was getting false reported. In that case everything pointed out to him lying.
I said the same thing back then. If they are actually abusing reporting then report them back. False reporting is not allowed.
However there is just as much of a chance that he got banned because he was AFKing or botting in battlegrounds or something like that. This isn’t even about you. You don’t know what he was doing in his off time.
I’ve stopped attempting the report as it seems Delimicus does not approve of the statement I was using. I asked for a replacement statement to use to which he was unwilling to provide. Leading me to the conclusion that they are no longer willing to participate.
How sad. I was working at it quite hard and talking to multiple people at once. Oh, well.
Things like this do not happen at the drop of a hat but it appears he wanted to put pressure on me in some attempt to prove me wrong.
I’ve switched gears into seeing if the statement “false reporting is punishable.” BRB on that.
lol
my hat, not your.
That kind of flies in the face of the report system being automatic then?
automated, not automatic.
Most of the botters are in instances, unable to be targeted for the purposes of right click reporting.
Bots don’t talk.
There’s plenty of evidence of suspensions being automatically handed out for mass RCR. Of course, Blizzard’s response is “yes, we noticed a massive influx of reports on this player right before they were suspended. They were suspended for a totally unrelated reason. Also, we’ve lifted the suspension immediately.”
Then the Blizzard apologists come in and start lapping at the teat.
The report system isn’t automated; the punishments are. You still need the people to do the reporting.
still, automatic or automated, if a system like that existed, there would not be ANY delay with a ban.
You said it right there.
That means someone looked at it then.
You can still right click on their name to report, they don’t need to say anything in game to report.
My guild thinks this was all hilarious btw. Thanks for the laugh, Haseo.
I also said that it could require up to 50 or more reports to trigger the punishment.
And you have empirical evidence for that?
I have the tests I ran on the Overwatch reporting system from two years ago. But linking to your own research isn’t very credible and people being unwilling to help gather such data, aka too scared, recently has held back research on current triggers.
There’s zero evidence of this. The one video that was linked repeatedly (out of millions of hours of recorded player interactions, think about that for a second) was personally debunked by Glaxigrav. Coincidences do happen.
This really isn’t rocket science. Why would Blizzard implement an automatic suspension system from player reports that is ineffective against botters and can apparently only be abused by massive numbers of players colluding to unjustly ban a player.
I guess Blizzard is doing it for all the great PR they’re getting here, right?
Um, Overwatch is a different game.
You do realize you can message a player and then right-click their name to report them without them ever saying anything, right?
False narratives falling apart. Sadly, there’s little chance that dishonest people will recognize their dishonesty and humbly apologize for propagating misinformation.
Only? One cannot make a legitimate RCR?
There doesn’t have to be for someone to be falsely banned/suspended though. All it takes is an incompetent GM. And for what they get payed I’m sure there’s plenty.
