Hi I just want to add to this discussion and hopefully everyone feels like I'm hearing what is being put down.
I'm sure many of y'all have seen this Basically Homeless video with 1.2mil views, and I think people are more weary than ever of playing against cheaters since AI isn't exactly here to save us yet.
Allow me to pick on two of my friends of many years, instead of anyone I may not know:
hannahIn almost every other game, cheating leads to a lifetime ban
fyg99% of people who catch a cheating ban will continue to cheat after getting unbanned
We cannot simply assume these to be true. What RGL would need to see in order for this discussion to be productive is some concrete sources: what are true trends in the industry? Is there any research to support our experiences and opinions? It should go without saying that RGL wishes to follow the research, trends and facts here.
Afaik the origin of the cheating ban lengths started as 1 year from ESEA and we used this for some time before making it 2 years.
TL;DR: RGL is open to change, make better posts with thoughtful evidence and sources. Speak, and be heard
