If someone gets banned, can someone else take their name? Is it a name that might have been taken by someone else (as in is it that unique)?

I'm pretty sure that usernames like xXx_yourmomsahoe_xXx are pretty unique. You rarely see anyone cheating and his name is something common like "Fred".

Fucking Fred... Now I have a name to the face that I never saw because I was head-ears'd through the entire Interchange mall. Not that it matters cuz cheaters always win, but now I have a name...

Its a pretty unique name and he several accounts all starting with that name, but the exact account name was already retaken. I guarantee its him because he killed me str8 up hacking, so when i googled his name it came up. Then i found all this like wtf.

If it's so easy to find, what's the name?

When you are banned for hacking, your username can't be reused. But when you search the username in game it'll still say the same level it was when it was banned.

Is there even an anti cheat mechanic in tarkov? Ive been popped a few times with suspicion.

CaptainGStringOP•

battle eye but they have been more sophisticated than any anti cheat will ever be and the truth is eventually we will probably all forced to play with 3rd party authentication and privacy issues. We need to hit a point where esports become one of the most popular forms of entertainment/revenue before corporate america will have cheaters removed almost** permanently. I strongly believe this will happen within 20 years.

Ahh you mean just as the cheaters in the popular sports right now? Who are you trying to fool here?

In any competitive environment there will be people trying to get an edge.

CaptainGStringOP•

No im saying when it becomes very very profitable corpo will do something about it finally.

Man. The video game industry is already huge. They drain more money than cinema and music combined. They are already more than fine financially on a global level. Even with the state-we-know on the cheating side.

Doesn't mean they were never banned. Usernames aren't kept through wipes. It could be remade on a new account and he just wanted the same name. Could be someone else using the same name, etc.

If you are banned your username can't be reused.

CaptainGStringOP•

Ahh, but he killed me super sus thats why i was even looking him up. Its him. Dudes a piece of shit.

eXCazh•

Right. I am not saying he is not a cheater, I have no clue of the situation other than your text. But a video from last wipe with the same username does not mean he was never banned.

Hopped on a stream after a this dude killed me last night. I'm sitting completely still, waiting for players to play through the map so I can do the task "bullshit" in peace.. magical 3 man surrounds my building and started lobbing grenades.. dude just runs up the stairs, bunny hops "my" doorway and onetaps me with an svd.. I was like "ok a kinda sus not gonna lie" hopped on his stream and watched him "hear movement" by old gas 200 meters away.. led his team right i to a juicy 3 man that they insta raped. level 48 eod account. SO FUCKING DEMOTIVATING.

Also, just here to say that if someone doesn’t login after a wipe happens, you will still see their level from the previous wipe. Have a couple buddies in my friends list like this.

Looking at the big Cheat Providers tarkov should use EAC. Because the uptime and games they have with EAC is much less

Got head eyes when I was behind cover by 762-BP who was a lvl 40. Come on. Lvl 40? Makes me wonder how many more of them are out there.

I love when people recite the ammo type like thats relevent.

Omg this cheater leg metad me with 9x19mm RIP to the left leg WTF BSG do better!!!

Maybe I'm not talking about the ammo type...

Manistadt•

I could care less what youre talking about, im laughing that you recite the "assailants" ammo type like its relevant lmao.

Kuwari•

Well if you die in a very sus way to very shitty ammo its more likely a cheater. Full on cheaters (not just radar, slight aim assist, or w/e) use whatever ammo they have. Or if for example you get beamed full auto by like 7.62x51 all in one limb from 50M+, as none of the 308 weps have laser beam recoil on full auto(though I guess M1A or Sr-25 can seem somewhat beamy).

Honger_Low•

Yeah yeah whatever. I didn't ask for you to care anywhere, but you felt compelled to comment and here we are. I don't even see the point of your comment initially.

Why is there a rising trend of people wanting to submit their actual ID to these companies for these things. This is a horrible idea, cause instead of just listing your username and items hackers will start threatening you knowing your address and name.

Not to mention insurance companies have issues handling data breaches and they try to have good encryption since that's their business. Any game company that asked for this info would be extremely prone to such leaks since they would spent minimal on security.

CaptainGStringOP•

People can already just go on google maps, go down the street, look at an address and then use public records to look up the name to the deed. Its not that crazy...

-1
Lord_CT•

So because they can hack in and pull out our information and then bother to go through all that effort, which would be way too much time for a hacker to bother with in a 40 minute raid. Instead let's cut out the middle man and just give them the info so they can dox us faster, what is this logic

That might work in your country but not everywhere and even so you're only matching random names to addresses you can't target someone in particular without looking up every house in the country lol

TheCrankyGamerOG•

No, listen, i hate cheaters just much as the next guy, but going irl id's is a very very slippery slope. To say the least.

Niewinnny•

yeah that's a massive privacy flaw and you can get so much harm done to a person only having their id

Sypherr453TOZ•

Not only that, but someone can just take a picture of my ID, then I get the game later and I'm banned.
