Hey guys,
I really think Nexon should look into approaching community members or having some sort of system for appointing game moderators. Not moderators in the MMO sense, where they are basically admins, just the ability to have a hotline straight to Nexon, or at the very least a higher priority report function. Perhaps community moderator would be a better term for it?
Now before you freak out and say it’s unfair, just hang on a minute.
Every now and then a new aimbotter sets up and screws with our servers (and I’d say it’s pretty safe to assume everywhere else is the same), and it usually takes at least a week before they’re banned. It’s good that they do get banned, yes, but in a F2P game, if you’re not pulling these bans off quickly, they’ll have their fun and just make a new account to do it again.
The reason I bring this up is there’s a new player cheating on our servers, but rather than just toggling on and clearing the entire enemy team, they’re doing it only when already facing someone.
There are some absolutely incredible players in our community, above and beyond anything I myself could achieve. But I (along with all the sane players in the server at the time) can clearly tell they’re cheating. Perfect trailing clear as day. Even the pros don’t have pixel perfect trailing with the M4. And this user has been doing it for the last week, claiming they’re not cheating, and then just blatantly admitting it a second after. It’s got all the usual red flags: private profile, only level 5 (when I first encountered them, obviously ranked up pretty quickly since), minimal game sense, etc.
I’m not requesting that Nexon give people admin powers like kicking and banning. I’m just saying I really think they should appoint some members from each region that people can talk to to have their reports streamlined. I hear about cheaters all the time, and I wish I was able to talk to someone who had some sort of power, but there is no one to turn to.
All we can do is just sit and wait, and all the while they’re getting exactly what they wanted.
I’m aware this would work better in some regions than in others; most of the experienced players in Australia know one another, so we’d always be able to have direct contact to one of these new ‘mods’ at basically any time. For larger communities, I’m sure there would be ways to get it to work there as well.
