It's actually 2 weeks, 3 months, Permament or NTAuthority.

Haha, that's the new sh*t. Now you don't get permabans but NTA-bans!

It's nice to see idiots on facebook helping each other remove permanent bans. This game is way too easy to hack... Rockstar, how stupid could you be to think that your system would work?

Can someone tell a low tech pc user why World of Warcraft can be played without any problems but GTA is a free for all?

 

Ive heard people moan about bots in WoW but I dont see them and my gameplay is unaffected, unlike GTAO.

Hackers love messing up GTA5. It's a perfect stage for cheating making it easy to mess up gaming for players in online.

Ask Rockstar. They would rather autoban accounts than actually fix the game with working anti-cheat coding.

People need to learn, You cannot go Online with any file that does not belong to the game (Mod or it's leftover), it will get your account flagged, the system simply does not care if you used it online or not. It will flag you just cause it's there. Once people learn and accept that they will understand that you weren't banned for modding in Story mode but for entering Online while mod files were still present in your game while you were online.

 

I have been modding my game in Story Mode since the first mods arrived for GTA V and i haven't been in trouble once. Simply because i remove all mod related files as soon as i'm done and want to go Online.

Ah its the porting thing? Ive heard that term

No, it's not porting.

For Online gaming:

R* mostly checks for more money being spent than actually earned. For example, if you spent 20 million bucks in a few hours and only robbed a couple stores a day, that will raise a flag. Previously banned players are held in particular interest. If you even pick up money dropped on you or given to you by hackers you will be banned for sure. It will go on a list and you won't know your'e screwed until they run a banwave. Even asking for money will get you banned. True, they check your game folder for mods and modded files too. Its a done deal, no way out and if you ask them why they might only say " Enjoy your ban." The only solution is to buy the game again.

Ive heard people moan about bots in WoW but I dont see them and my gameplay is unaffected, unlike GTAO.

 

A few reasons.

 

1. GTAV is designed to be accesible for modding to improve the single player experience. Unfortunately the multiplayer and single player are not separate and share the same exe so this makes modding more accessible for online.

2. Rockstar do not use dedicated servers. Besides this increasing connection issues and lag problems, it gives the cheaters a lot more power. If there was dedicated servers cheaters could not spawn objects everywhere, force you out of your vehicles, blow everyone up in the session etc. It would be limited to things like aimbots, wallhacks, and god mode. This would be a lot less noticeable, and the game more playable if this was the case.

3. Rockstar do not have a third-party anti-cheat system. I can't speak on WoW but Rockstar is very slow at catching up to the cheating and always seem to be a few steps behind them on PC. This game needs VAC or something.

4. Blizzard put a lot more protections in place to prevent cheaters and actually ban quickly I assume. Rockstar prefer to ban slowly and in waves. This game went for weeks of being a mess before they finally did a ban wave around the time of the yachts update. Unfortunately Rockstar lost a lot of the fanbase as they were too slow to combat the cheating and a fair number of players quit. It has also deterred morep prospective players from purchasing the game.

5. Unless Rockstar has changed the policy they have a 3 strikes system where the first ban is like 10 days, second a month and final 20 years (so permanent). Obviously, this makes players feel like they can take the risk the first time or two. Blizzard from what I remember just ban you for good. I used to play WoW during WotLK expansion and don't recall running into any obvious cheaters in my entire time.

 

stretchx9, I didn't think Rockstar banned for receiving modded funds. I thought they only did this if the player asked for it. Often players get frozen and then money spammed over their head. Happened to me on a couple occasions but I only got about 300k or so out of it in total. But, yes Rockstar is mostly concerned about the money being hacked into the game. Why they don't just remove the money bag and ability to give other players money from the game is beyond me. IT serves very little use when used legitimately.

Acid: I've been following R*Support for the last 36 hours. Currently the majority of ban complaints refer to money bags dropped on them and the affected players not reacting in a timely fashion. R* appears to lack the resources to litigate these complaints so as it stands, the bans are automatic and non reversible, no ifs, ands, or buts.

God knows how GTAVI is going to be profitable if this current trend continues. If they can't or won't fix this in V, I for one certainly will not buy VI at release in two years.... Until then, the hapless banned will get to enjoy the upcoming SP DLC while waiting to be allowed to play OL again.

Legitimate players who are forced to pick up money have and will never be banned. I have played GTA V since it came out on 360 and have had money drop on me dozens of times since then, as well as many other friends who have also had the same problem and not a single one was ever banned or has ever even had their money taken away from them.

 

People who say that they are innocent from a ban are lying. Rockstar can easily trace who have been using money/RP cheats because there are some mod menus that directly allow you to input how much money/RP you want, and having values like "X Player has received $999999999" in one transaction is the easiest thing for an automated system to pick up on. That's why there are still some modders after this "banwave", because I'm sorry to say, but some of them were smarter than the rest and didn't directly modify any of their account values, which is actually much harder to detect.

^ Not entirely true. Some people have been banned for picking up money, despite not modding. However, they were banned before for modding, so it's the way their ban system works. If you've not been banned before, the system tends to "trust" you. Otherwise, they could give two sh*ts.

 

Anyhow, looks like there is yet another banwave. Am seeing peeps getting massed banned again today.

Maybe they aren't "banwaves" anymore. Maybe they have a continuous automate system in place that bans people at a certain pace. If I were them I wouldn't ban everyone at once due to the load on support from the complaint calls and emails.

:santa: Support doesn't answer a lot of the posts and complaints and don't blame them. I for one can actually feel my IQ dropping as I read a few pages of ban complaints.

Seriously there need to be done more to this problem, I have been playing alot the past week, and almost every session some one i godmoding, speedhacking, teleporting or spwaning sh*t in... hell on many serveren people ask in chat if someone can spawn money in for them... today i saw 6 people around one dude who was spawning in money, the event for drive by killing just started so i shot most of them... the hacker then wrote in chat that i should say goodbye to my game, and shortly after my game crashed to desktop.... so tell me more about R* Banning people who use mods

 

sorry for my angry rant, but it seemes to me that the only solution to this, Remove the ability to mod the game at all, single or online

Rockstar needs to have a different support forum.

 

Currently, the support forum is just for players experiencing common issues, and then they just give a copy paste response linking an article from their FAQ. That is the only form of communication you will get from the support team whatsoever. No exaggeration. I read that Rockstar outsourced to another company (forget the name) to work their support forum, so it is not Rockstar you are communicating with and they have a very strict policy on how their employees interact with you, and are limited to the responses I just mentioned. As robotic as possible. Rockstar also have a ticket system, which I have not used to address issues.

 

I once emailed their gtaonline address a link to a cheating messageboard which even had players giving their account names so they could be added to private sessions to receive modded funds. They didn't even give me the courtesy of an automated response, and I was very polite in my message.

 

If GTA 6 focuses more on the MMO model then it could be an excellent game. Rockstar would have to spend a lot on consultants or hiring third party to help them set up their security system as clearly they have a long way to go from this game. Initially GTA online was tacked on, but was not expected to be so profitable with the shark cards, so the design is quite a ways from reaching the standard set by other online games in terms of connections, progression, security etc. What I mean by progression is how you can buy great weapons like the Special Carbine at level 1, which is arguably the best all around assault rifle to begin with. And with connection issues, the lack of dedicated servers contributes to why I keep getting sent out of sessions and put in one on my own and seeing the left side of the screen filled up with names of all the other players leaving the session. I know it is not my connection, because if I am on call waiting for a mission to start from the quick join menu, I remain on call through the disconnection of the session. This occurs very regularly. I hope GTA 6 has dedicated servers so I can join sessions with my friends outside of invite only and actually play with people who speak my language, and it should solve a lot of lag problems. It would also help reduce the cheaters, and when players do cheat they won't be able to blow everyone up, and a lot of other malicious things they currently do.

 

Also, I don't know if this is a problem with just the PC platform, but I never do pvp missions like deathmatch and adversary mode because I get a maximum of 2 others playing, which is lame and not fun. They need to do something to fix this issue.

I tried to submit a ticket about the hacker (who's name i have but cant report) who was responsible for my game crashing, but everytime i hit the submit button, nothing happend. eventualy, dont know how, i got a mail from R* asking me to reply the same damn thing i submitted the first time, and this time with screenshot or video proof... i dont have recording ready by the button, and how do i screenshot a crash, that could have been any old crash in a screenshot. their system seems broken to me
