1. First - what actually defines a ‘cheater’?
2. Does using an exploit (‘cheese’) count?
3. How about lag / latency = bad cnxn - not due to the player’s fault?
4. Does it (only) apply to Xim /Cronus /other add-ons?
5. What about extra paddles (controllers) or macros (PCs) - do they count?
And so on…
It’s a very slippery slope with way too much of a grey area to be definitive, imho. 😵💫
Here’s one (repeated) suggestion…
Utter Mayhem - a ‘free zone’ to use whatever device / exploit one wishes to explore, in a mega game of Clash…open to all…with added swarms and hordes as additional enemies, where only the truly awesomely overpowered gamers are free to strut their stuff, as desired.
Spectators can observe with a freely accessible buff, to get right in amongst the action, and see what all the fuss is about re the a/m ‘unmentionable’ unmentionables! 😉
Caveat: any player who enters the game mode will forever thereafter carry a mark - like that green or yellow spike of light, from way back; this does not apply to spectators.
Good for the curious / curiouser amongst us. And can help solve thorny questions down the road; eg, is that Guardian ‘cheating’??? 🤔
Just some thoughts. Ease springs! 🫡

I know you didn’t just call out extra paddles on a controller cheating💀. That’s crazy💀

Bungie already claimed exploits won’t be a ban-able offense as they take responsibility. So it’d probably just be those who are running actual cheats. Macros I’m pretty sure can already get you banned if you get caught. Cronus and the like are against the ToS that we all agreed to when starting the game for the first time.

D2's forum main definition of cheating. You beat me in pvp, you must be cheating 🤦

1. Manipulating home network to gain advantage is cheating, simply having bad internet is not but is irrelevant on D2. VPN usage (common in other games) is also cheating can’t really be enforced. 2. Exploiting in-game glitches is dirty but not cheating. 3. Unlicensed hardware usage is cheating. 4. Xbox elite/ps edge/scuf/kontrol freaks and any other fully licensed product is fair game. 5. Macros/scripts is cheating but for whatever is condoned by most in pve, especially on the pc side.
