Strict Enforcement Against Mouse Macro Usage
Dear Rivals,
Recently, our scanners have picked up some anomalies in the timestream: some players are using mouse macros during matches. Executing abnormal combo sequences or achieving actions beyond normal human hand speed gives these users an unfair extra advantage. This severely undermines game fairness, negatively affects the competitive experience of honest players, and has a detrimental impact on the overall gaming environment.
Therefore, we would like to make the following clear statement:
The use of mouse macros is a strict violation of our rules.
Whether you're using macros to pull off impossible combos or to achieve superhuman APM you are destroying the fairness of the game. Once confirmed, we will bring the hammer down strictly in accordance with our rules.
Let's be perfectly clear: letting a machine do the work for you is absolutely not "skill." Macros are just an unfair advantage gained through villainous means.
To maintain a fair and healthy gaming environment, we have further strengthened our detection and identification capabilities regarding mouse macro behavior. For accounts confirmed to be using mouse macros through system detection and manual review, we will take penalizing measures based on the severity of the circumstances, including but not limited to the following:
• Matchmaking Suspension
• Temporary Account Ban
• Long-term Account Ban
• Permanent Ban
We urge all players to cherish your accounts and not to take chances. Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage through mouse macros will be met with serious consequences.
We are committed to providing a fair, just, and healthy competitive environment for all players. Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support of our efforts to maintain game integrity. We encourage all players to actively report violations. Stay vigilant, keep fighting for justice, and let's defend the integrity of our Chronoverse, side by side!
Dear Rivals,
Since the launch of our crackdown on "Incentivized Throwing" (malicious match-losing for personal gain), we've received an overwhelming amount of feedback and suggestions from the community. Thank you for each point of passionate feedback! Our team is ready to roll out a comprehensive upgrade to our anti-throwing measures:
1. Active Server-Wide Detection System Deployed
We've implemented a brand-new detection system across all servers. This system uses a combination of big data analysis and manual review to enhance the detection of malicious throwing behavior. Once violations are confirmed, offending accounts will face strict additional penalties.
2. Ranked Point Compensation
To preserve match integrity, we're introducing the Victim Compensation Protocol. If your match loss and point deduction were caused by a teammate's confirmed malicious behavior, the system will automatically restore lost points. You'll receive an in-game mail notification once compensation has been issued.
We encourage all players to continue reporting violations. Stay vigilant, keep fighting for justice, and let’s defend the integrity of our Chronoverse, side by side!
"I think people that enjoy Marathon should play Marathon, that enjoy ARC Raiders should play ARC Raiders, that play Marvel should play Marvel, play what you like man it doesn't matter... and don't listen to the internet... just play the f*cking game bro"
