Announce the fix for the cheats and banned accounts

[tribal aspen]

I am personally discouraged to grind without knowing that the Team has a fix for the scripts or has banned the cheaters.
A cheater can easily use hundreds of accounts to farm ores to complete weapon and suit milestones, and catch illuvials to complete the catch milestone.
A few crypto games like Big Time and Shrapnel do KYC.
I joked about doing a captcha to extract too.
Can dev do something?

I will follow this post.
Since I have a lot to learn too even already 4 years + in meta world.

My understanding; KYC with ranking can reduce a lot (cheater) ?, but
will also demoralize a lot of real player.
But in long run, is worth to activate it.

Is not about dev team can do something or not I guess..
They, the (admin) need idea or suggestion to discuss with dev if sustainable or not.
When the cash flow start imbalance, believe they will need suggestion on desk to discuss.

I think what main concern for now,
set up at report system related with cheating matter in ticket system or email?
this will allow user feel their right to report being follow up properly.

A lot to discuss actually in this section.

KYC to claim airdrops should be okay i guess

i mean they gonna have to KYC to off ramp anyway

[meager spindle]

Thats a good point. Bots/hacks is probably the main thing that can kill our ecosystem on launch, we have to take the necessary measures 👍

[tribal aspen]

yea i honestly dnt know what else we can do except for kyc and captcha.
as na said, it's flaw in the architect of Ow

KYC doesn´t reduce cheating at all.
It is very easy to bypass.

It would only make especially crypto natives unhappy who would prefer to not give their names etc. to a company.

[daring creek]

I believe everyone have their own point of view.
in another project, my husband observe before and after kyc implement,
it really shows not much compare with before 🙂

[strong hare]

What does it really shows not much compare with before mean?

[daring creek]

This is about another project I'm going to share the experience 🙏 .
the map will allow us, the player to see how many other player on that map.
can actually walk over there and observe their movement when hitting the mobs, heal, repair and sell their armor and weapon,
then they always back to same coordination and position. repeatedly.

[strong hare]

How does that relate to any KYC requirements?

[daring creek]

The players (cheater)? reduce after KYC implement.
my husband have good observation but however, there are still some out there.
But of course not just KYC purely implement, but with ranking as well depending how much they invest and cash out daily.

[strong hare]

Depending on what kind of level of KYC you implement you make it slightly harder for people to make new accounts, that is true, as long as it is lucrative to make these accounts it won´t be difficult to do so though.
I don´t know the game or specifics or if other variables changed, so can´t comment much on that.

Detecting Cheaters very fast is the best option overall.

Further using KYC on a level of pls show your photo ID for a video game is pretty rare and would likely turn far more people away and not even solve the cheater problem, if the profit is relevant enough and they can´t be detected quickly.

Banning asstets from cheaters Accounts so they can´t be traded would be an option for example that adds more monetary risk to people trying to cheat. (obv there is a technical aspect to be checked here and it still hinges on detecting cheaters.)

Also Testnet makes things feel worse, as people don´t spend real money, so they don´t have to be afraid to lose anything to gain assets and they farm airdrop points "for free".

[daring creek]

Yup,
As I mention above after Jagnite,
Really need When the cash flow start imbalance, believe team will need suggestion on desk to discuss.
And in my point of view as observe other project running,
Tough decision have to be made when tough situation happen at the front eye already.
What need to be prepared, is a helpdesk ready for users/players to report in calm manner.

I don't like KYC too, but yeah, just one of suggestion on desk now from us here.
Thanks Viper for discuss this. 🤝

[strong hare]

Happy to have the conversation.

I also think a calm way to report on things is great.

Also I do think from a player/observer view there are far less people cheating and getting away with it that some make it sound like, not saying it isn´t a problem to be preferably eliminated obviously.

[tribal aspen]

which game

[tribal aspen]

its not an option, kieran said they cant even if they want to. its not our chain

[strong hare]

We could talk to imx for example.
