STOP CALLING ME A CHEATER!

I admit I am more than a little upset about this...I have asked for ways to stop it and suggested ideas but no one seems to care, but this game is getting unplayable for me because of one simple reason.

I love the scythe and I thought it would be a good idea to full cert radar and stealth, that way if I need to secure a point I can see exactly where enemy is. I want to be helpful to my team and so I get out of my scythe often to take points, stop gen overloads etc, and to me using radar to track down the enemy doing that is a good idea, not only to stop them but to keep me alive...the problem is simply this..People will not stop sending me hate tells or accusing me of cheating!



This is what I have to deal with several times a week. It is frustrating because I want to help my empire best I can, and this makes stoping back caps and gen destroyers so much easier. It is a legitimate tactic.

Now is it asking too much from SOE for either an Auto ignore feature for tells from non friends or can we get some popular people in the soe community to spread word about this tactic. I thought about uploading a video on my youtube channel but history has shown that no one cares about my gaming vids or watches them so I deleted them.

Some of you may say just ignore it, but when the vast majority of tells I get are hate for this tactic almost every day it gets frustrating. I also know for a fact I have had myself reported to soe for cheating/hacking. I am constantly called horrible things and that I am a ***** for cheating, when I AM NOT.

Several months of this going on is getting under my skin, but I should NOT have to go back to flares when it is helpful to my team and legitimate. Now granted when I squad up with fellow vanu they love this, but enemies are the ones that send the hate tells for it.

So what options do I have? Should I report everyone that sends me this crap for harassment?
Is there an auto-ignore feature I don't know about?
Is it asking too much for big names in the game and soe to make it known this is a legitimate strategy and not a cheat?

Here's an idea.... It's kind of out there though so prepare yourself.






Ignore it.

When did gamers become such pansys? I've never taken a hackusation as anything but a compliment.

When someone msgs you just act like your a troll. They soon give up.

Enemy tell: Cheater!
You: L2radar nub.
Enemy tell: You hacker!
You: go Cry 2momma

and other phrases that will make them think they are dealing with a idiot. It works wonders

you should have PMed him "BANG BANG BANG" after you killed him...

Also OP, I'd like to elaborate on your signature.



Real men adapt and face the challenges. Boys cry "nerf"
Real men pitty the one who bails. Boys send insulting tells to them.

You could sort of say you're not adapting and facing the "challenges" as such, instead came crying to the forums. It would also be fair to say that you're not pitying the people who call you a hacker, and instead send insulting tells.

You must be a boy. Do you want us to hold a bar mitzvah for you?

I wont argue with you there but do you not understand that after months of this almost everyday it is getting frustrating? I am really supposed to just ignore harassment?

I am not saying you are wrong by any means, I am acting on emotions right now but the real me knows you are right 100%. I am just tied of always seeing the blue hate messages. Call me a boy I don't care in this sense, because your statement and claims is backed by fact, that is my signature. Thus your claim does not bother me, but have you been harassed the majority of the time you have played this game?

If you haven't then try to understand where I am coming from. So like my signature says, I am trying to adapt so I can face the challenge but I do not know how anymore, and a real man is not afraid to ask for help. That is the intent of this post.

Good point on the comparison of bails to accusations of hackers. that is seriously a good analogy to think about. TY....in all seriousness.

Dear OP,

1) Open your ingame message window.

2) Type: /ignore add NicknameOfDesiredPerson (In place of NicknameOfDesiredPerson place anything you want).

3) Problem solved.


Sincerely,


Koci

Is it that hard to ignore? Do you think you're the only one or something? Yet I don't see any other threads complaining about it.

If someone calls you a hacker, just laugh, take it as a compliment. You just obliterated someone that has such little understanding of the game that the only way they can explain what just happened is to jump to the conclusion you're HACKING, that's a pretty big win IMO.

I always have a little chuckle to myself when I get tells, it's satisfying to know that I've made someone angry enough to whisper me just by being SO UTTERLY AWESOME at a computer game Their frustration over thinking they just died to a hacker is sort of a punishment for jumping to the conclusion in the first place. Carry on about your business and go rock some more heads and see how many tells you can get.

Then take screenshots and make a pretty little rage-whisper-trophy-forumsignature that lets everyone know how k00L you are.

Eh, whenever somebody accuses me of hacking I just assume they jelly of my skills.

Your obviously doing something right & getting kills for the time you've spent certing into that radar. Take the harassment as a compliment from bad losers. Every time you get a message like that just smile because you've probably ruined that players day by killing them.

Takes one to know one.


Simple phrase. Will get them more angry.
Just let it go.

The moment you started argueing he won. You failed.
Either don't react or tease them. I get accused a lot too, for the stupidest **** - like a burster max not moving at all and then calling me aimbotter after pwning him. Just tease them a little, tasty tears are tasty.

Exactly. Theres nothing more flattering!!! I love it.

In most cases when I got shot by ppl accused of this... I was cloaked which also rules out NV now.
I only call BS on people doing this though in ESF's when I throw a Lockon their way and a Flare comes out.
...lulz...

Probably the closest SOE ever got to a GOOD "balance tradeoff" when it comes to these Flying BFR's. But seriously folks... Galaxies should get Scout Radar, not ESF's. And scout radar should not be automatically superior to the Infiltrator Darts either. OP can call it a "tactic" all he wants, but it's really just a big ugly mess when you consider all the counter-rage on Strikers and everything else that makes people wonder why you'd run anything BESIDES Stealth & Flares... (I run them too). ESF's really need a better solution to "Flak-Stacking", instead of overpowered Radar that practically legalizes always-on wallhacking.

Cheating doesn't just mean breaking the rules.
Cheating can mean winning a fight unfairly, an example is a street fight where there are no rules. It's you against them, so you might resort to Sucker Punches, throwing sand, and hitting genitals. Though this may be against the rules in a ring, out on the street there are no rules. Both parties know this, but the loser may feel slighted as you decided to fight this way.

Sure you can say those tools were available for you to use, but you have to accept that some people will dislike you for using these tools.

You must lead a very lonely and sad existence if that is what satisfies you. Not intimacy with an attractive woman, not pushing your body to its limits in the gym, not being promoted or getting a raise at work...nope, it's having a total stranger, someone who is probably no older than 15 years old, getting mad at you in a video game.

No offense, but sort out your life.

Often got called a cheater when using slugs in my Mattocks and out-sniping snipers with it amongst other targets at ~100m+. Obviously affects me differently to you. I take it as a sign I'm doing something very well using the game mechanics. If I do reply it's usually to tell them to cry more. The go quiet after that.

I'm sure I've had quite a few hack reports filled out on me because I used to exclusively use slugs on my Mattocks and get kills at long ranges - they just don't see the 85% of shots that missed them.

if you are getting accused of hacking there are three things possible:
1) you are actualy hacking
2) you have l33t skills
3 he is an idiot who has no Idea what he is talking about.

I once got accused of aimbotting... by a guy I ran over with my tank moments earlier

i got accused of hacking because i sniped snipers with my vortex.
there are a lot of bad players that dont even understand how someone can do stuff like that.
just live with it.

Wow. That escalated quickly. Went from had a little chuckle to basement dweller rubs the lotion on the skin instantly.
