This includes 319 players penalized for cheating, 61 accounts suspended for alt-account exploitation and linked violations, 37 players penalized for malicious interference.[/p][p]We've been receiving ongoing reports from Metas about cheating behavior, and we've been verifying and acting on them as quickly as possible. We understand how much these violations can negatively affect the experience of honest players. To improve the in-game environment, we're currently focusing on the following measures:[/p][p]1. Raising the cost and difficulty of using alternate accounts to cheat.[/p][p]2. Improving detection and prevention for common hacks, including flying, wall clipping, teleportation, auto-aim, wallhacks, and AoE DMG exploits, so we can stop and punish violations more effectively.[/p][p]3. Introducing compensation mechanisms to help make up for the negative experience caused by cheating.[/p][p]These improvements are being rolled out in phases and will be completed in the near future. We appreciate your patience and support. If you come across any violations in-game, please report them through the official reporting channel. We will review and address unfair behavior as quickly as possible. Let's work together to maintain a fair and healthy game environment and combat malicious actions.
