Reporting :)

YotoPian

Hi all ..
every body know that crossfire full of hackers .. and to report someone you should be free , cos you have to save replay and upload a video and some pictures .. it very long to Report one ...
in any game there are tow hackers at least .. so it is wasting many time .
i think it is shuold be more easily . cos the game is very boring with hackers .
thanx

It really dosnt take that long to report, it just takes ages waiting for them to be banned. I've never actully reported somone for hacking, i'll let the autoban system do its job

If people already consider it to hard to report someone than they're obviously not really willing to report hackers.

By making the progress more easy support would be spammed with wrong reports on people that don't hack at all.

It is the way it is to keep the amount of reports down.
Most reports takes weeks to months to get reviewed simply because Z8 gets so many of them already.

Easier reports means more people willing to report and thus more reports sent.
I get about 50ish people a day hack accusing me, if reporting was easier then more of them would actually report me rather then just accuse me. More false reports will only waste Z8's time even more.

You know why there is so much reports? Because there are THAT much cheaters,

I blame the community, X-trap is a responsive solution so it will always lag behind the hack makers. If the in game community actually cared to remove hackers from games there be far less hackers. Just had a game where a blatant Aimbot was put up for kick vote 10 times, each time ending with 6-10 or 7-9. At least 5 of his teammates were trying to kick him so only 2-3 of the other team being aimbotted on bothered to F11.

Autoban is a feature of x-trap, once a hack is found and black listed users who use this cheat will be banned @ login. These bans range from as short as 2 days to a permenant ban (the ban is temp because its not manually done via support system)

Been suggested before, not a good idea

this has been suggested lots of times before.
I'll quote an official answer from [GM]Saidin:

The problem with in game reporting is this:

1)
As of right now there is no way to automatically transfer the replay file from the users computer to us within the game.

There would need to be additional coding, server space, bandwidth space (big one) etc.

In a free to play model for the game, it's going to be too taxing to implement this kind of feature. At least for the moment.


2)
A verbal only report is not very useful to us as 99% of verbal reports can't be traced, or are inaccurate or could be abused.

only advantage to it would be making the process easier.
