R* To Take Action Against Cheaters


GTAForums.Talk
 Share

Recommended Posts

GTAForums.Talk

Rockstar have always been active when it comes to cheating and use of exploits to gain extra RP levels and GTA $ in GTA V Online. Today they took to Twitter to announce that their next wave of anti Cheating measures will being today:

 

R* tweeted: "To maintain a fair gameplay landscape in GTA Online, we are removing illegitimately-earned RP. For details, see:"

 

https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/articles/202598028

 

UPDATE ON GTA ONLINE CHEATERS AND MODDED RP below:

 

The support page has the following Q&A section which explains how, what and when they will begin cleaning up GTA Online of cheating spoils:

 

QUESTION: I heard that Rockstar Games is taking action against players who cheated to gain illegitimate RP. Is this true?

ANSWER: In order to keep Grand Theft Auto Online fair for everyone, we are removing illegitimate RP from the accounts of players who hacked or modded to get ahead.

 

QUESTION: Is this a one-time RP correction or an ongoing process to identify cheaters who cheat to gain levels?

ANSWER: Both. The first round of RP correction will occur on 5/20/14 to remove illegitimate RP all the way back to GTA Onlines launch in October 2013. After that, we will be running continual, automated sweeps to identify and correct RP violations.

 

QUESTION: How much RP will be removed from affected accounts?

ANSWER: We currently plan to revert the Ranks of affected accounts back to the approximate level they were before the violations occurred.

 

QUESTION: My little brothers cousins best friend was visiting my house in December 2013 and somehow did something that increased my Rank to 1000. I had nothing to do with it. So I dont mind the Rank correction, but will my account face any other action?

ANSWER: We dont plan on taking further action beyond RP reduction when the first round of correction hits on 5/20/14 for players whose accounts show limited modification. But please be warned: accounts found to be hacking or modding to generate illegitimate amounts of RP after 5/20/14 will be subject to further action at our discretion, such as time in the Cheater Pool or Bad Sport Pool. Repeat offenders may also have their accounts reset, experience bans, or have all their GTA$ removed (other than unspent Shark Card funds).

 

QUESTION: Will corrected accounts still get to keep money and other items gained since the violations?

ANSWER: Yes. In the first wave of corrections, only RP will be affected. GTA$ and other items will not be affected. However, accounts that incur RP violations after 5/20/14 may face further action.

 

QUESTION: I gained a ton of RP in 2013 without hacking or modding, by taking advantage of certain mission bugs and exploits before they were fixed. Will my RP be adjusted?

ANSWER: Your RP should only be adjusted if you participated in mods, hacks, DNS redirects, manipulation of cloud files, or other similarly nefarious behavior. If you grinded short legitimate missions or otherwise gained a small amount of RP without modding, your RP should not be affected by this correction.

 

QUESTION: I know of a new exploit players are using to gain an unfair advantage in GTA Online. How can I report the method as well as the players using it?

ANSWER: Please submit all the details to [email protected] Be sure to include the Platform, Gamertag or PSN ID of reported players, description of the violation along with steps, time/date of the violation, and any concrete evidence you have such as online video or forum links.

Maybe, just maybe R* should start there own You Tube channel and then have You Tube remove all of the R* game videos on You Tube, and then You Tubers can submit new videos to them for approval. Effectively removing ALL videos on cheating, glitching and hacking in ANY R* game. :)

I agree. But it's also because of all the YouTube videos that rockstar had found out the f*ck we been up to. Smh.

There is no way you made it to level 887 without using any sort of cheat, exploit method. So cut the bullsh*t, you're not fooling anyone.

 

Your level will be reset by R.

Their in the process of finding cheaters and removing the cheated RP. Your time will come.

 

But obviously, everyone knows you've cheated. Don't act innocent. Anyway, have a nice life.

Seems like a lot of, should, could, and approximately in all that. So they don't even really know and it's all just a hunch. I myself have nothing to worry about as I'm only level 55 and only started playing on ps3 a couple of months ago. This just seems like a witch hunt to try and save face because of their own lack of testing and effort. I have no sympathy for either party in this situation whether it be R* or the cheats but R* should have expected people to take advantage of their unfinished and short sighted project.

PayPal and eBay both got hacked this week. How do expect a traditional video game developer to deal with online security adequately, especially with more propriety code.

 

I work for a company that can help, but sadly for R* they are not a customer yet.

Call me guys, I'll set you up with a custom demo, eval, everything!

Over 39,500,000 rp in 25 and a half days of play?

 

Works out to roughly 1,560,000 per day, or something like 1083 rp per minute.

 

Lol! Legit? Sure......

Yeah I wasn't sure how to read that, and some money related stats are missing etc too, not sure if the number is too high or something is glitched out.

 

Just to reinforce the fact here that is not MY profile. I've grinded my ass off for almost 18 days and only have 10% the RP of that guy. Mind you I have never managed to participate in any glitched stuff like this new FOS thing, the most illegitimate thing I've ever done is grinding RR back in the good old days.

What it really comes down to is that its only about 16 rooftop rumbles per hour. Which is very possible even now with it being nerfed. Back when all you had to do was blow up the car it was easy to do 30+ in an hour. So yes, it is very possible to be rank 800+

Your level will be reset by R.

 

Again with doing absolutely no research you make a statement as though it's fact. 16 rooftop rumbles per hour is all he would've needed to do to reach that rank legitimately. Try again douche.

I dont care what explanations are given. If you are level 800+ already you A. Cheated B. Have no life or C. are the most boring gamer in the history of gaming. Even at 16 an hour, what a boring freaking player...

THANK YOU! Finally you and a few others above get the point! The dude with "800+" is NOT a legit player. It's all hacked, cheated and it exploited.

 

We as society are not dumb.

A. Yes he may have cheated, majority of rank 800+ players did cheat

 

B. The game has been out for 7 months, only 25 of those days he's been playing so literally a fraction of his time has been spent on gta

 

C. He stated above he has another account, so he probably has one that he does nothing but grind missions with and one he has fun with.

Unless you where there when he cheated you have no freaking idea whether or not he cheated. With the stats given it is 100% plausible that he did this completely legit. So I ask, where is your proof!? I have mathematical statistics backing up my argument. You on the other hand are stating opinions. So until you have proof sit down and shut the hell up.

Your math is flawed. To do Rooftop rumble 30+ times, per hour, you'd have to average the entire mission, including load times to 2 mins. That is impossible.

 

It takes at least minute to load and reload the mission so he'd only have another minute or LESS to do the mission.

So you're saying that it is possible to grind 1,560,000 rp per day and still play the other parts of the game>

 

I mean this with no disrespect, please enlighten me. I would love to be making that much RP and continue doing other things in the GTA world as well.

Months ago you could just blow up the car the documents where in and the mission was done with full payout and you could replay from the voting screen. Rock star recently changed that and you now have to load it each time.

Yes. There are missions that are longer (much longer) than RR that have a better RP payout. However, they take longer, so they are not fit for grinding. However, he could have done an RP glitch, so u never know.

But if he combined RR with store robberies, Simeon car lists, gang attacks, and other things, I think he is still off by a few hundred levels.
