You expect us to reply to almost 400 posts? You didn't realize our replies in this thread cover almost all questions asked? We listen to people who are honest and ask things in a normal way, not to those who flame and make ridiculous demands. It has always been like that. We completely ignored this 'lobby', because it is stupid, and it deserves nothing more than to be ignored. People who want their case examined only have to write us in a polite way. These people who are trying to boycott FS, or are saying their friends could never hack (some even threatened us, lol!), or those who say we're lying are just not people who deserve any kind of attention from us.
And this is very reasonable. Nearly all other games out there completely ignore protest against an anticheat. They do not care if the cheat was detected because of some stupid reason, like sharing details/settings with a cheater. They ban people who only had cheat vars or traces in their config but didn't have a cheat installed without regret. We might even reduce some bans for a few people if there is a good reason for it, although the vast majority will stay permabanned for sure. If that isn't reasonable, then nothing is.
thank you for your attention..
there are close to 400 posts but the minority would demand your attention, most of those posts are people getting off on their ego or on others being banned. so this would not be as much work as you claim but maybe your lack of time to answer questions in here shows that fs is in need of more active forum admins ...
fs tends to claim that its development team is doing things differently, special in a way and - as you didn't get tired to stress in the past - incomparable to other development teams (
valve is the exception to the rule here)
yet when it comes to ac and the way fs is handeling the current situation you are not getting tired pointing out that those companies you earlier claimed you couldn't be compare with aren't doing things any different than you right now..
that's hypocritical ..
i have never said that your ac is bullshit and i didn't flame, i stated that trust is a damaged good in urt and its "community" and that with your history of buggy software releases you are in bitter need to explain what you did with your ac and assure us that this thing can be trusted .... what i merely criticise here is the way you released information.
you could have explained to us how this thing works without giving away too much detail so you don't compromise your effort but detailed enough "so we can see what you did there" and you could've done all this with your inital news post. that's where you could have explained how players who feel treated unfairly are supposed to get in touch with you. furthermore you could have explained why exactly you think it's unlikely your ac could make mistakes, this way you would've taken precautions and additionally you would've proven that fs cared for the "community's" worries. well, you chose not to do anything alike, instead we were basically
told to either trust the ac or not trust the ac since it didn't matter anyway.
what i am saying is that you should have been a step ahead.
and i know that somewhere in those 400 posts things got cleared up and questions were answered but you seriously could've done better.
and since i got your attention now, i still feel you should explain in simple words why you think ac can't fail.

i was typing while you added your reply frankie..
i am aware this was a figure of speech: you and your buddy was messing around on line taking a cheat for a test drive.
and hopefully this wasn't pointed at me, nevertheless i have to say that i have never downloaded or installed cheats for urt... the only vaguely stupid thing i did was download roygbiv's optimized build because i was and still am unhappy with 4.2's performance on my computer... i don't wanna drag roygbiv's name through the mire here, he claims his build is clean .. the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that this client wasn't approved by fs or any league ..
the reason for my repeated posts on this forum is the hope for transparent and fair methods...
