I'm a pretty patient guy, and I completely understand the struggle of anti-cheat, and I know the team is taking it seriously, but they are getting their asses handed to them. Cheating right now is on a level of someone blowing weed smoke in a cop's face and walking away.

For the weeks they have spent making it a priority, it really only gets worse and worse. I've been gaming a long time, so I've come to expect aimbotters and wallhackers along the way, but the nature of cheats in this game are just mindboggling. Cheaters are basically gods in H1Z1, untouchable, unstoppable gods, and if you get killed by them, or get your base no clip looted, really, you have no one to blame but yourself, for even attempting to play at this point.

They have total control at the moment. I had a lot more faith in DBC's battle here before I decided to look up the cheats. First of all, they are so easy to find on Google right now it's almost insulting. I would like to see DBC make some effort to counter SEO the cheat providers. Make an effort so that the first five results aren't all hits directly to the software? Reach out to Google about blacklisting the abusive links? Something?

Second, the boldness of these people is frustrating. Some of them have been using the same software for weeks without being banned. I find it extremely hard to believe that someone is hacking for multiple weeks without being reported, so that leads me to believe that their inquiries into hackers are either not being followed up on as often as they need to be, or they are proving inconclusive on people who are basically mocking them to their face.

I would hope that they would be able to make some serious ground up by frequenting these same websites, downloading the software, and reverse engineering it for detection purposes, but unless they have some master plan of letting hackers go for weeks at a time before catching them all in some 'AHA! GOTCHA!' moment, I can't see that being at all effective.

It's really discouraging. The fact that the game's stability has significantly dropped over the last week and a half is one thing, and it's one thing to suck up and deal with and just shake off as Early Access hiccups, but when you are battling crashes and various bugs, just to log in and have a vehicle killed in one shot, or have an arrow teleported into your head while you're in base, so you can come back and find out that your valuables have all been looted without any sign of entry... it's rough to fade all of that.

It's about time for them to start making some progress on some of these issues, but so far it's really just felt like a significant backslide. I was really excited about a lot of the recent base changes, but I've lost a lot of my enthusiasm after the significant efforts I've made on base defense are completely by passed by someone who is basically enjoying the game a lot more than I can by getting off ruining everyone else's experience.
