Seven suggestions for addressing the intrusion of anti-cheat programs in games

1.Please abolish the rule allowing multiple characters under one account to log in simultaneously.
2.Please discontinue the use of Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC). Due to its highly integrated and kernel-level operation, EAC may consume excessive system resources, causing reduced game smoothness, lower frame rates, and impacting the player experience. Additionally, it has been proven that this program provides no effective help in preventing game cheats.
3.Please add a one-click cheat reporting option in the game and form an anti-cheat team. Upon discovering cheats, ban the account immediately, including all characters under it.
4.Regularly update the anti-cheat signature database and develop special detection rules for new types of cheats (such as speed hacks and attack speed hacks).
5.Establish a 24-hour monitoring team that combines automated tools with manual patrols to focus on high-risk areas.
6.Regularly publish anti-cheat achievements (such as the number of banned accounts and lists of targeted bot farms) to enhance players' trust in fairness.
7.Share cheat signatures and cheater information (such as IP and device ID blacklists) with other MMO manufacturers to form an industry-wide joint defense mechanism and prevent cheaters from "switching to other games."

You forgot:
8. Sanction drone strikes on cheat engine developers.

Most of your points require hiring people and spending money Intrepid just doesn't want to spend atm, customer support people, paid GMs and other support teams.

Here's my pretty unpopular opinions on curbing exploiters, cheaters, gold farmers, and scammers to a near zero.

1. Box price for game. (Overhead for scammers.)
2. No time cards. CC purchase or verified ID purchases only.
3. No Access via a VPN.
4. Block known bad actor countries to certain servers.
5. Verified ID with account. No anonymous accounts.
6. Require 2FA for all accounts.
7. Verified offenders accounts should be rolled back and suspended.
8. Repeat offenders should lose account.
9. Post verified cheaters with mug shots on news feeds.
10. Reoffenders must sacrifice mouse hand to regain access.

Anti cheat software is pretty decent to stopping script kiddies, but won't do much to combat the organized groups. At the end of the day this is a battle of attrition you have to make the cost to cheat too high. Who runs out of resources first? It'll be the Intrepid every time without proper measures. A game of this nature will fail with just average levels of cheating. Not many people are going to playing a game that's so competitive and grindy while cheaters are seen not only achieving greater rewards but destroying their progress as legit players.

Hell I'd pay double to be on a secured verified server...
