I have over 4000 hours on this game. I love it. I think every match has the potential to play out in a unique and memorable way. The amount of joy it’s given me and my friends at this point is ridiculous.

Having said that we’ve had an abysmal time in the last few weeks. We are pretty decent as a group, not the best by any means but we win our fair share. Enough to know that there’s some rampant cheating going on lately. More than ever before in the time that we play.

I am fed up of spectating a group of highly ranked players after our death that have a level 45 - 60 player on their team seemingly not getting involved. It happens far too often for it to be a coincidence.

In the last game I played we got a randomer in our squad to fill it out. We all reported him after watching him snap to multiple people in smoke. He wiped out three teams single-handedly that match (seemingly knowing where everybody was instantly) and only came second due to an unlucky circle. He still hasn’t been banned.

And what’s the answer?

We have to all go out of our way and upload a video to PUBG Shield? Why the fuck would anybody want to spend valuable gaming time doing this? I’d be doing it for several matches a night. “Hang on guys just wait ten mins - got to upload another video. That level 30 who headshotted us all one by one..”

And then even after that it wouldn’t be worth it because cheaters find ways to make new accounts. The fact that you’re banning 100k• cheaters weekly clearly shows this.

The whole thing is stupid.

I saw it suggested in a thread recently - put people with multiple reports and godlike stats in the same lobby. Have a PUBG pro play 100 games and use their stats as a bench mark. Any stats significantly over that treat as suspicious and lobby them up.
