Cheaters really need to just fuck off and do something else with their lives. They are just sad assholes who can't accomplish anything without cheating. With that lack of integrity, they'd make great CEOs. But with the lack of morality and stick-to-it-ness, I guess they'd fit better as middle management.

    Games should make hacker servers or hacker zones where it’s free for all to change your game however you want it. I understand the fin in changing the gameplay of a game to make it new.

    I would love a sneaky anti cheating system, where if you are detected the game behind the scenes starts making everyone else's shot at you 100% headshots 😂 so there you are, trying to cheat, but you can't get a single shot off because stray bullets are just homing at your noggen!

    I love the hilarousness of the idea, but unfortunately aimbots can just auto-fire at the first pixel, while humans won't even register that you appeared for "long" milliseconds. However, if the game can force other people's shots at you then I guess it can also force your shots to miss.

    Some already do. You have what's known as "cheater ques" or "cheater lobbies" where cheaters get shadowbanned to only play against other cheaters

    That's been done before in Minecraft anarchy servers. The results are fascinating

    Matchmaking works best when as many people as possible are in the pool to join your match.

    Having everyone in the game on the official servers is the way to go and nobody should be modifying the game. It's unfair.

    On the flip side, I've been called a hacker and reported (to no avail, thankfully) about 20-40% of the time after I make a semi-decent killshot.

    Its not a hack, I can just see you very clearly when you're running straight from point A to B without using cover. I didn't use an aimbot, you've been standing in that one spot scrolling through your menu so I've had plenty of time to aim properly. I also didn't use an invisibility hack, I've been waiting at that corner because I knew you would come charging past.

    Then you aren't one of the people I'm talking about. Personally, I take accusations of hacking or cheating as a compliment, because I know I'm clean and must have had a good game. Although sometimes dipshits will level accusations like that because I got them. Then I tell them to look at the game stats because I wouldn't be 17-23 if I were cheating. The people who actually do cheat though, double fuck them.
