The AI anti-cheat system cannot determine who’s doing it for rep and who’s doing it for build specialization so the rules have to apply to all.
At the end of the day account sharing is account sharing, and it violates the terms of service which 2K can enforce however, they see fit, but they have to be equal and how they hand out punishment no matter how big or small your name or platform is.
They sent notices out in August and in October so they gave everybody a warning and people just thought because they were not rep grinding and didn’t apply to them and you cannot make that assumption.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG Paying a grinding farm to advance progression in a tenth of the time is unfair competition. They can literally grind 24 hours a day.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG Nope not losing sight of the ToS and paying for progression through black market means. It’s manipulating the system to move ahead of others to avoid the grind. I choose not to do it.
I don't want to be that guy, but i'm really surprised no one is mentioning the obvious here. I obviously don't want to see you banned but..
In no scenario where you're being held accountable, pointing the finger & throwing others under the bus is a valid response or argument. 2K SHOULD be holding everyone who breaks TOS accountable, the severity depending on the offense tho is definitely something they need to review
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG It’s very unfair to pay someone to grind your challenges so you can get the wilt build. Get that shit naturally on your own. But the wilt build isn’t inherently unfair if it’s available to everyone if they grind. It’s the means to attaining that build that can be unfair
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG Totally agree. It is way worse but also two sides of the same coin in my opinion. I’m not calling anyone evil but paying a gaming farm in the phillipines or wherever to advance progression is just sad.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG And a content creator that does it is lazy and it is egregious. They play for income yet can’t grind like I do after working a 9-5?
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG I hear ya. I strongly dislike the goat builds and the length of the build specialization. I wish they were never in the game. I just want a level playing field where people can’t farm any type of progression unless they did it themselves.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG If someone snatches a board over me that ultimately wins his team the game because he bypassed build specialization by paying someone to grind is absolutely an unfair advantage. More badge slots, tokens and cap breakers can make that happen
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG I don’t disagree. This is a very predatory greedy company. But personally I don’t want to run into any player that has an unfair advantage over me that he gained by bypassing the grind that I have to do because I choose not to cheat.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG 100 percent agree with you. Ban everyone breaking ToS and do it consistently. We don’t know what the algorithm is that detects cheating in all forms. Is AI detecting and banning? Is there human insight? That’s why I don’t speculate that this is selective
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG Which “paid service” violates ToS? I’m not saying it’s not predatory, but account sharing and paying for the grind clearly violates it. Not the optional early access anyone can purchase. Just because you can buy a service on the black market doesn’t mean it’s ok.
@MuscleMemory__@llTeejaell@BADGEPLUG Show me concrete proof that it is selective. Explain to me the process of detection and banning please . Calling it selective is speculative at best. Just because someone speaks out and gets banned doesn’t mean they are targeted
