Interesting but won't they catch on immediately and go make a new account?
Yes! That's why this answer only sounds good in conference rooms and forums.
And if they were banned from a free to play game like Apex? They would . . . make a new account. At least this way, for a time at least, legit players are free of them.
Sounds interesting in theory, kid of like the gaming equivalent of having a second Olympics where PEDs are OK probably sponsored by pharmaceutical companies
But like Slap in the first post I'm confused by the message that they can spot cheaters easily and ban them but also have them play against each other... while banned?

LOL L2's new advertisement is wonderful..... Take a step back in time and relive the original Lineage II experience as it was in the beginning. Create a classic hero from the original 5 races and 31 class options and jump into the nostalgic hardcore level grind where the rewards can outweigh the risks. It's your chance to experience the game the way it was when "hardcore" meant something!
Funny how f2p scrubs are cheating on a f2p game. Kinda adds to the "nothing to live for" mentality about their lives.
Interesting. Could you please describe the relationship between F2P players and a "nothing to live for" mentality? Just curious.

only aries tigers know the secrets of those mysteries.
about time someone started doing this, all the other game companies are slow! (is slow ok to use? super sorry for the strong language).
P.S. my posts are super important please don't delete them.

It is an odd topic that has been discussed for a while. Some countries can force companies to refund money if they ban players, since that game has been paid for, and they are refusing the player access to their accounts, thus stopping a paid service. However, if you make it a "feature" to put players who cheat in an arena to battle each other, you are no longer stopping service from paying customers, instead you are allowing them to continue being ass-hats to other cheaters and not hurting you main population. This skirts that line of a refund for stopping services and removed the customers chances of obtaining a refund.
I did not know this. Cheaters can very quickly ruin an online game especially a PVP focused one, shame these countries don't investigate the reasons for bans more.
People who cheat in competitive games are pathetic.
Although I agree it is unfortunately the simple fact that people like to win. Whether it's sports, game shows or gaming some people will always do what they can to win at all cost. I'd like to see developers do a little more I terms of engagement though, let us know how many have been banned name and shame accounts that have been proven to be cheating etc. Report after report with no feedback can make you feel that the devs don't care.

To understand this common phrase you neeed to take a second to step back and look at the bigger picture...don't take it at face value.
Their avatar is completely free and can be "rinsed and repeated" and re-applied, re-created as needed. Thus they can do whatever they want however they want in the game world until the banhammer comes down. Hence they realize overtime that they have nothing to live for (their game avatar in this case.)

Hacker: "Oh, I am not winning anymore"
*Creates new account*
Hacker: "And I am back ruining the game for everyone"
Brain dead devs strike again with another useless idea to try and stem the flow of hackers without losing income from them.
Hardware ID ban or your game is doomed.
