    Rares response to this video from a community manager has been that I am glorifying a ban evader and therefore there is misinterpretation and the video is misleading.
    Theb is a ban evader but the reference to them is proof that live moderation is possible within the game.
    I truly believe that Theb is a good person due to the support and standing up against the issue in this video and backing my community and the women of OCE and to me anyone with a solid community and 80k subscribers IS loved BUT my point using him as an example is there is no other reference point other than Theb to show live moderation is possible and Rare has been able to live moderate him playing the game and banning him multiple times a stream in some instances, for YEARS.
    When they banned him in the clip I showed, he was versing a flying cheater, it's very obvious they are a cheater. This person went on to harass OCE players after Theb was banned live on stream and when you think about it logically when doing live moderation why would any community member pick the person not being harassing, toxic or cheating in the moment over the cheater who is.

      Rare is shooting themselves in the foot, I love the game but watching how hard the cheating is spilling out is crazy.
      Theb is a great content creater who got on the bad side of a company who is petty and would rather keep him out and watch thoer game die then ever address the cheaters.
      Sorry you're going through it, something truly does need to change on rares end because this game is falling apart.

      Honestly, I am surprised you did not get a ban yourself for trying to push the issue. (I dont mean that in a negative sentiment). I actually several years ago got banned from the official SOT Forums for calling out this exact issue (in the context of when Arena was still around), and they were in the height of stopping talks about PVE only mode (fast forward a year later and we have safer seas, freaking irony). Anyway, my post is actually STILL on the thread in question, but they kept insisting I was inciting problems. Again, ironic because my post that got me banned is STILL available to read, and was not edited or removed, just now in a locked thread.
      Since then, I have attempted to report bugs, cheaters and so on, and have been met with the same brick wall that is the support system, and most recently actually got threatened in a support ticket, by Lady Aijou (RARE Employee) with a potential Redbeard to my account if I kept pushing the issue. Then went back and found my whole ticket history REMOVED from the list.
      They need to get there house in order, because at this point, there are more problem with this game than they are willing to acknowledge, and it's frustrating that more people are not aware of it (mostly due to the efforts by rare to silence, or censor everyone who tries to bring it up) - honestly pretty impressive the amount of effort they spend on that, than actual cheater prevention.

      Though that's not what I really want to discuss. The entire mod team are all hired out of one friend group. To be able to talk about anything you have to become part of that in-group by behaving extremely weirdly. Anyone outside of that group that becomes controversial will just get banned. Even if they don't break the rules. And anyone in the in-group can openly admit to breaking the rules and won't be banned. Also like 70% of people are depressed/suicidal and giving each other therapy online which really just makes the mods far too emotionally invested in people.

    I’ve been to SoT Fest 4 times and I can tell you, Rare is a corrupt group of sensitive adult-children that won’t fire the bad employees because they’re all best friends. They ignore feedback about their reddit and discord mods, and the community managers are a nightmare to deal with when you need legitimate help in their discord. The lack of money needed to come back after a ban is why it never gets better for more than a week or two. They let them game share from a banned account to a new account on the same system. If the cheaters needed to buy the game back, it would at least get rid of the 12 year old hackers with no money.
    Don’t get me started on their “strike team” of bug fixers that they said would be forming like 2 years ago and then radio silence until around 7 months ago when they re-announced forming the team.. which took 7 more months to actually get started. 6 years in and they never had a team dedicated to game stability until now?

As far as players avoiding bans by using alt accounts all she jas to do is supply the evidence to Rare. If she has evidence of who the real person is she needs to supply that to Rare as well so that Rare can sue the heck out of that person for harming their game.

    It's unbelievable how far Rare have fallen over the last few years. Instead of dealing with vulgar human beings, they instead choose to mute, block, palm off, and ignore issues plaguing their game. "Rare is not the police - if you are being harassed contact your local authorities" is an absolutely insane take and supports everyone's argument on the fact that they genuinely do not care about their player-base. All they're concerned about is the random dude on PS5 who hasn't played since its launch to come back on some Saturday night, purchase $40 worth of ancient coins for some mid-looking ship set, then log out.

Developers will never give a shit about the quality of their games if their main source of revenue is meaningless cosmetic shit in the store. Apex devs neglect their game the same way. They know pathetic little nerds will spend inordinate amounts of money to 'look cool' regardless of the problems. SoT has had some of the same bugs for years, even after they claimed to fix them in certain updates. If I buy a storage crate, I still have to go buy random supplies from the shipwright before I can claim the fucking crate. So much for that fix. Still teleporting/rubberbanding since they're too cheap to run an adequate number of servers. Still having supplies in a rowboat disappear into thin air when pulling them into a storage crate unless I take a few things out of the rowboat by hand first. They're fucking incompetent. I can maintain their game better using code snippets from codepen at this point.

For PC gamers you can't just buy a game and expect it to run smoothly you have to take into account everything about your machine, the cpu, the gpu, the resolution, the hard drive space, the ram etc. Console players can just turn on the console and load a game and play it. Now, you can use a keyboard and mouse on the console and PC players can use a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse. I say it's alot harder for PC gamers and requires more skill to get/keep games running smoothly. Also, these cheaters are on console servers just not very prominent but they will be.

    The most toxic worst part of the community is always wrapped around the community manager's and developer's fingers, while the people who genuinely care about the game and just want to have fun always have isolated communities that have little to no contact with the developers or official communities at all. Mostly because they get banned from the official communities simply for wanting the game to be better than it is.

    They don’t take reports seriously, like ever. It’s absurd, and disheartening. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten clips of offending players using exploits/cheats or gamer words that they kick it back with “oh we can’t do anything about this” despite the proof :) getting really tired of the bull they’re pulling. And let’s not even think about how season 14 is gonna go… I’m not excited for it.

    How to fix cheating problems:
    1. Make Hourglass a purely stat game, all cosmetics can now be unlocked outside of hourglass.
    2. Increase safer seas payout from 10% to 40-60%
    3. Retract EAC and impliment a more robust GM/reporting staff

    Rare is too busy picking berries and making Deer art, to actually do some work. We haven't gotten "New" content in forever so we wouldn't mind them ACTUALLY getting a better anticheat and figure out where their source code leak is for athenaware.

    I once had a combat with a cheater on an outpost, i kept spawning in the tavern and as soon as i left it he would snipe me from the sky, he was able to fly and give 360 no scopes with the sniper. after 5 minutes or so i told him i only wanted to fish and he said "ok sorry i am leaving", it was a strange experience

    Adding a comment to help boost signal. I just started streaming Sea, though I've been playing since launch, and this is troubling. I'd like Rare to actually do something to address these issues. I love this game, I love our community, and the cheating and harassment by or towards anyone is unacceptable.

    FFXIV has the best moderation system I've ever seen. You can report an incident and living people review footage and text logs and make a decision based on the replays, and they're HARD on people bullying and being horrible. You can also mute people. I honestly think that practice should be standard in all multiplayer online games...

    this is something nearly every game company gets wrong. Its the way to build reputation. Instead of being honest about their mistakes and issues, they instead focus on hiding the problem and not actually fixing it. Just tell the players what's going on internally, players will understand as it has been proven with other games and companies. Wooting have told everyone their mistake with the 80HE and what exactly is going on, and look at their reputation. Deadlock is also really open in comparison to cs2, and the difference is insane. Being honest is really important and yet these large companies don't seem to get that.

    The fact the cheating programs offer so many features besides just aim and walls. Is clearly a failure of Rare. They need to patch them out.

    i don't know anything about sea of thieves and aren't sure why yt recommended this video to me, but this really sucks. i hope rare listen to this, but based on every other company's track record on these things i would be surprised if they do :(
    best of luck, was a great and informative video despite the terrible things those cheaters are doing

    I do not justify cheating at all but I will try to provide some clarity to how many game companies tend to cheaters. If Rare is actively tackling the cheaters they are not likely to ban them one by one, many companies tend to make lists of the cheaters and do a mass ban. Doing it this way keeps the cheaters from thinking that they are being watched allowing them to become more comfortable with using cheats making it easier to spot who is actually cheating. This also keeps the cheaters from having a handle on how the game company is dealing with the situation making it harder for cheaters to hide the cheat software as the way of dealing with each batch may need different tactics. I despise seeing a non-cheater get banned for no reason and that is definitely a problem but I can assure you that Rare are very likely to be doing something, it'll probably just take a little time.
