@kinseh_ i did an experiment where i ranked up to gc2 absolutely with no mechs, only on gamesense and got 36 winstreak, if you need i can send replays i got from the games, maybe for your coaches, no speed flip halflip anything like that just turning and forcing correctly is all you need
@fdaciuk@RL_Status How? What people can do with it? If it will be resent every 2m for example, what can scammers do? Send you the wrong one? You ll get another one im just 2 minutes
@fdaciuk@RL_Status Passport number is too long why phone number? Because it will be like parent control code every time you launch the game you have to write 6 digit code that was sent to your phone via sms
Yeah, but where are you supposed to buy those accounts if every single one has to be verified with a phone number it’s linked to? Without a possibility to relink it only using passport for example.
No account seller is going to buy a temporary phone number and then sell the account together with it.
So the only option is to boost them yourself — and that means wasting tons of time and money every time moreover you will have to boost it by yourself mot using the bot, otherwise you will get banned even before playing competitive.
once you’re banned, the phone number linked to that account gets banned too.
Which means that every single time you’ll have to buy a new number again.
That makes account reselling much more expensive and unprofitable, hope you understood :) and all of you will get banned by @RL_Status
but If you will have to verify every time you launch the game? Like parent control with a code your parents chose, but here you will have to sigh via sms on your smartphone, i dont think free temporary number service will last that long, or they can just buy permament but for money, in that case whats the difference between it andif the game was pay to play? It will help significantly
In situation that Rocket league facing right now the only way to get rid of cheaters is adding Mandatory SMS Verification for All Epic Games users
Requiring every player to verify their account with a phone number is the most effective way to eliminate bots and cheaters in a free-to-play game.
One phone number equals one account, which makes mass account creation nearly impossible and instantly removes the majority of bot users and cheaters, as it was back then, when game was pay to play.
Any accounts that are not linked to a verified phone number within one month of implementing this update should be automatically locked.
This measure would also effectively reduce smurfing, spoofing, eliminate most account boosters, ano significantly decrease the volume of account sales.
Moreover it will save tons of money, instead of wasting it on new methods to blacklist cheaters it's better to prevent them from continuing because just banning them won't help.
Here’s the thing — SMS verification wouldn’t stop kids from playing Rocket League at all.
The phone requirement would only apply to ranked modes, where cheaters, botters, boosters, and smurf accounts do the real damage, so after adding this feature players wont be able to play competitive game modes without verification .
And using a parent’s phone doesn’t prevent the parent from playing — every major game that uses SMS verification allows multiple legitimate accounts per household, including landline numbers, VOIP numbers, and family plans.
It’s simply about making bot farms and spoofers unprofitable, not about locking out real players.
Right now Rocket League is losing far more honest players to cheaters and bots than it would ever lose by adding this basic security measure.
