Cheaters

I’ve never seen so many cheaters, speedhacks, 50 meter jumps, and more. It’s nearly one per hour in the desert zone.

It’s getting ridiculous…

    That's pretty sad for them.
    Report and move on. Neither of you should care about competitive success in the game at this stage in development.
    The only one who can validate you for all the posts you didn't write is you.

    As enthusiastic as I am about Ashes, testing for the sake of testing isn’t enough to keep players engaged for weeks or months at a time. The competitive integrity of the game is absolutely critical—both now and throughout all stages of development.

    Keep in mind that the competitive environment is also under test.

    Sure, but I didn't say "They're right, you're wrong, move on."
    I guess you're saying to let them air out their grievances? Because I don't think this post is necessary to make the devs aware of the significance of the issue.
    I probably don't disagree. The point of my response was primarily to point out how sad cheating is for the cheaters. I think that's the best that can be contributed. Make them aware of how much they're wasting everyone's life away for self-defeatingly meaningless benefits.

    I’ll try to be more clear.

    I took specific issue with this comment:

    I disagree. I don’t think we can truly understand if something is broken unless we’re actively trying to use it to its fullest.

    Competition is what drives me to engage with the game as intended.

    I know a lot of people say, “Don’t call this a game, it’s a test… blah blah.” But hacking and exploits aside, if you play the game as intended, there’s already a lot to appreciate—and even a competitive environment to enjoy.

    It’s incredibly demoralizing to learn that some people are abusing game rules to gain an advantage. That kind of behavior deflates morale and causes players to quit the testing phase.

    Fewer players = less data for Intrepid.
