We just act like nothing happened ? Cheating and Account-Sharing is okay now?

It's tough if that hypothetical person has more money than god and can buy a controlling majority in your company without it causing a blip on the radar....hypothetically speaking.

It's even harder if that rich person has a history of throwing man baby tantrums and wants to be an edgelord to impress teenagers. Buying a company that wronged that man-baby just to destroy it wouldn't be that outrageous.

I'm just saying, this hypothetical person could do real damage to the company and the people because they probably have over and over again in their hypothetical world.

So, my last post got deleted—apparently, mentioning a certain well-known person is a no-go. Guess I’ll just talk about hypotheticals instead.

Let’s say a super rich player was caught breaking the rules in PoE—cheating, account sharing, whatever—and instead of getting banned like a normal player, nothing happened. Just ignored. Business as usual.

If that were the case, wouldn’t that make the whole race to first place kind of pointless?
If the rules don’t apply to everyone, then what’s even the point of competing?

And honestly, if something like this were allowed, it wouldn’t be surprising that bots and other rule-breakers also go unchecked. If enforcement is inconsistent, why would they bother fixing anything else?

Not pointing fingers, just asking questions.

There is a reason the only race people care about is SSF and HCSSF.

Look at d2r ladder race. It’s just whoever can use fg to buy items faster and pay for 7 players to sit in their games.

It is called 'rmt' not 'cheating'

This thread is fucking ridiculous.

EVEN IF you a accept the theory that it happens regularly, that is STILL not a reason to be ok with it, nor be ok with GGG to do nothing about it.

If something wrong is happening, the only surefire way to ensure it keeps happening is to do nothing, shrug your shoulders and keep going about your day.

Making noise might achieve nothing, but doing nothing is guaranteed to achieve nothing.

Grow some balls you people, seriously.

Just because he’s a billionaire he’s gonna state openly that he’s cheating and no one cares?
People here got their accounts banned because they used silly flask macros or were suspected for account sharing.

The fanbase and especially people who post here instead of reddit or somewhere else, are overloaded with chuds who love that man (only as of the past year or so, of course) and the other guys he has been torching things up with.

It was not that long ago anyone mentioned of cheating this or rmt that would get crapped on by most people replying. well, oops, the... special kind of people having a daddy and now uncle they worship and you are talking about HIM cheating - so you get what you see here.

Don't worry, for most of them, the face-eating leopards are on the way.

Try making critical threads on Path of Exile Reddit
These mods over there don’t approve any kind of criticism.

Unless it’s a very mild meme

I would also appreciate appropriate handling of the case.

At the same time, I wonder if one of the reasons would be to get proof about the fact. Even though it bring rage, I believe that they would need more than just what we got until now probably. They would need a more tangible proof, like something from telemetry, memory dumps, in game actions proofing the thing in real time. If they don’t have this, it is hard they would do something that can’t be sustained (considering that whatever we might heard in this hypothetical situation is still not a proof of the bad acting, unfortunately).

How is it hard to prove?

Dude was live on presidential stage while his character was online playing and farming ?
Also, GGG knows it’s cheating, nothing easier than that.

I am not telling it is hard or easy to get the proof, I am just saying they would probably need what I pointed out to that in any case.

There are scenarios one can use to argue in the event this suspension is protested. Like, maybe the person played so little in that account that will say it was not his account just a friend who let’s he play for sometime, then when you check the data it might point out to this.

And of course, in the world we live money is power. Unfortunately, in a case like this if the person is banned he will have power to defend himself using crazy arguments like the one above, even if there were no excuses for the misbehaviour.

The biggest fix to RMT is just to play HC or HCSSF, or Private Leagues

Yea people can RMT in HC trade as well but...since they're not good at getting desired items..they rip eventually and hopefully that cheers you up knowing that someone RMT'd and died to a funny oneshot LOL

It’s not about fixing things.
It’s about fairness.

But as I can see. People in the comments here are trying to ignore it or straight up make fun of people thag care about bullshit like that

———

Tbh, if GGG doesn’t do anything about that situations, I see it as an opportunity for everyone to use macros, bots and account sharing services

Well, yeah, welcome to the real world
Unfortunately that's how things work here
Poor man uses macro - insta rip
Richest man uses rmt account sharing - aww you pesky you okay all good son
