Sharpshot879 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 What I think would happen is that the megatribes being banned would allow people holding off from joining after hearing about how hard it is to start as a new player on officials as a result of mega tribes to join and fill the gaps (also pillaring would be gone for a bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NajaNivea Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 It's only marketing. The BattlEye banned one million !!!! cheaters in PUBG, so now the PUBG in the news = cheaters heaven. The BattlEye found lots of cheaters in ARK too, but Wildcard not ban anyone = no cheaters ban, no bad news about ARK, everything is silent... But this is NOT FAIR against normal ordinary players. ...and the WildCard: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think my self and another 25 ppl we dont play official no more nor we will ever play on them ? We left cause of cheaters.. Or maybe cause you guys have weak policies even tho you had proof of ppl cheating and you payed certain ppl to provide and expose cheaters .. yet this is a one time thing and they free to go.

Thank you WC for all your services... For all we know, you might have been using it with your 25 people... You might not have even noticed it was an exploit... As long they don't disclose what this so called exploit is, you don't know. It's like calling for a death by dismemberment for a "tssk" you said to your teacher when he said your name wrong.

Roojie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Why? Because it was probably a Dupe Glitch.They can't ban people because they can't pin exactly who was doing it. They know what tribes were doing it but they don't know which players. So what ends up happening is 5 people out of 50 cheat and no one else knew and all 50 get banned. It's pretty simple. I bet some of the people commenting on this thread would be banned today if they went through with the wipe and they wouldn't have a clue what they did.

noodaboy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 And this exploit carried over to the new Official servers?? So Whats the point in leaving legacy for new ones?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd also do a Battleye ban as well, which if I somehow got hit for an undisclosed exploit that I was not even aware existed, that'd be a real promotion to disable Battleye off my servers and find an alternative solution.

pixelrobot Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 They should be banned into the ground. I remember when I first experienced aim-botting and ESP years ago on official servers and thought that was bad - then I found out even the building was crooked. There I was, grinding everything legit while god knows how many people around me were just duping stuff in. The game is rotten at it's core - cheating has been part of it's culture as long as I can remember. It's a shame, there's a great game here under all the filth, unfortunately it can't be found on official servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roojie Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Don't get me wrong. I love seeing cheaters stomped, but WC knew about this glitch years ago and didn't fix it for whatever reason and now this is the result. So they still screwed up, but this is probably the best course of action they could take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjsechrest Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I can confirm this is the abuse of admin commands on official servers. I've seen it multiple times in legacy but never thought it would be around still. And to think no one will get banned. If you thought duping was bad you were only at the tip of the iceberg. No need to duplicate when you can fabricate anything you want (except for dinos apparently it doesn't work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiny Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Quote from there: Quote I know you're all curious about the exploit however you should know that we're still investigating the extent of this exploit, and what else more is capable. As we understand it, there should not be any cases where it's still achievable, and we fully believe it's entirely taken care. However it'll be put through its paces with extensive testing and logging on the live servers to be sure, and because of this, we are not going to provide any specific details. I know that is a little frustrating, but I hope you can understand our reasoning for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to duplicate when you can fabricate anything you want (except for dinos apparently it doesn't work) so players have admin passwords? or is it more complex than that? did somebody at wildcard leak this information or was it hacked somehow?

How are we gonna recruit new slaves? New player only join new server, to keep a tribe running, you need a constant flow of new player to do all the chores until they quit ark because of one reason or an other. Should I feed my dinos myself? Presposterous! You newbies are made for those ungrateful jobs. Btw, I'm recruiting, wanna join? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much proof of certain tribes cheating such as going under the map and blowing up ur base from under the ground (it has happen to us).. Its documented and proven they know which tribes have done that yet they are letting them go .. Many of my tribes man have hit the record button and provided this to WC.. Also there have been many aimboters exposed and yet nothing they go free.. Clearly you have not experienced this issues yet.. Good for you cause your are one of the lucky ones.. Enjoy.

It could very well be a situation where someone has exploited the vulnerability and then 100's of others have inadvertently benefited from them doing so. And if many mega tribes have used the exploit then potentially 1000's upon 1000's may have benefited. Where do you draw the line on bans and responsibility. I think the important thing here is that a clearly major vulnerability has finally been patched. Of course it's a mysterious one, but i'm sure news of what it was will come out as no-one will be able to exploit it anymore. Umm.. you draw the line where people that actually cheated are banned... you know, the ones that did the exploit. Then you wipe the servers if it's far-reaching. Gosh, and I'm not even the CEO and I figured that out all by myself. I quote the great Forrest Gump: "I am not a smart man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did not say all cheats and exploits are pardonned, only THIS one is. Do you know which one it is? It could be the fact that you can smelt metal, make gasolin and make charcoal at the same time. You don't know, so you can't judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
