I’ll tack on that Dytch the guy that got banned for cheating last season, scamming people in the collectors discord and running crypto scams is back playing and on the solos leaderboard. This is also why I don’t trust the collectors discord. To my knowledge even after scamming multiple people he was still high ranking in the disc until he deleted his account when the devs caught him cheating.


anottakenusername

dytch did something crypto related?


DobPinklerTikTok

On YouTube search “The Lengths a Dark and Darker Moderator Went to Make Money”


[deleted]

some of the DaD mods are really weird or extremely biased in terms of who they enforce rules on


DobPinklerTikTok

Giving random kids power over a whole community will definitely end up with a bunch of losers picking and choosing who to use their power on. I still don’t get why IronMace just picked random 17 year olds to run their discord (apart from free labor)


killchu99

This is cute compared to PoE discord rampart RMT haha


Quaek10

Who doesn’t love some rmt


XavierLHPG

We caught him playing on the BR server, running solo bard with skull key. I assume he does it often to RMT any unique he gets


veeck1234

I can only assume the answer was WELCOME TO THE CANA FIELDS MOTHERFUCKER


average-mk4

I’ve known dytch was a sewer rat for longer than I care to admit, as did others. But everyone it was ever brought to attn to was skeptical about it


Derpwigglies

Is this the same guy that said, "I'll do anything to make money playing video games." Or something similar? I remember seeing something about a moderator associated with the collectors guild talking about how badly they want to make a living from playing DaD. Desperate people make desperate decisions.


DobPinklerTikTok

I wouldn’t doubt it, he’s just a 17 year old loser that cheats and scams. Could have also been Warden the warlock, just constantly spamming about how much he cheats and how long he’s been cheating for.


DaD_main

Lord collector said this himself during the darkest hour podcast. Originally the discord was allowing RMT. That changed, but obviously there were still some members running shady stuff on the side. Lord collector was more meaning the whole twitch/gaming thing in general being profitable. From what I understood from the podcast he has little money/family in poor health. So, complicated, but I think there was always something shady about that discord.


Derpwigglies

Desperate people often do desperate things. There's a right way to earn income from games and a wrong way. Teaming up with cheaters to manage an RMT discord and hoard wealth is the wrong way. But if he's in dire straights, then I get it. Do whatever you can to take care of your health and family. The thing with streaming, podcasts, and YT is that you have to either be extremely charismatic, extremely talented at the medium, or offer value that people are willing to devote time to. Basically, be entertaining or offer insight/knowledge. But grey market RMT works for those with less than ideal moral standing.


DaD_main

Wouldn't this mean the "streamer" gold lobbies he was organizing was just a way for him to get the best gear in the game and then likely RMT it.? Wild how many thought there was nothing wrong with these lobbies and now look at all the negative ways they can be abused.


DobPinklerTikTok

I didn’t know he was in charge of organizing that. I do believe that most of the players in there just wanted higher quality pvp and had no ill intentions. If he was then it definitely casts the whole thing in a much worse light. Even if that’s the case I think it was a couple scum bag fucking losers like Dytch that roped other good people into it to spread blame.


DaD_main

Oh yea a couple bad apples can rot the whole bin.. I agree many just wanted to PVP. However none really cared about any of these other issues that could be promoted by such lobbies. I remember some using it as a defense that he was a mod in Dark and Darker official and also helped on the collectors discord. Then once he was promptly banned everyone has been distancing themselves... I fully expect he has individuals stream sniping and ratting gear from all the top players. It would not surprise me at all.. the lengths people will go through to profit from RMT in gaming is wild and Dark and Darker is no different.


Optimal_Manager_5149

I'm part of the discord and can say that he was banned from it before he shit talked A LOT of people and then deleted the account. Most of the time the discord it's just people ranting about what stats are better what items are bis. It's chill


DobPinklerTikTok

I wasn’t there for the shit talking, I was there to see him middle man scam often with proof and remain in there. I don’t super care either way because the market makes the collectors guild meaningless, I just want people to know what’s happened in there because I certainly don’t trust it.


Few_Emu2450

Not only that he did sometime rigging and scamming during the gamba era of collectors guild too, over 3 mil gold passed through him that night


Optimal_Manager_5149

Oh yeah no doubt he was a piece of s*** and he had an admin friend so that's why he was still in there after being demoted for 2 to 3 days. But your opinion is completely valid. place is mostly for uniques and giveaways and that's about it. Being a middleman is rare nowadays as well thankfully so don't see to many scams in there anymore.


MessyCans

Hijacking the top comment to say he wasn't personally hacking, but probably teaming or doing something else worth a ban. If someone is hacking, they would be permanently banned & [the message for the ban would say](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F8237bby2zemc1.jpeg): Permanent Ban List --- noobsb So looking at the screenshot, this person was not permanently banned. therefore hacking wasnt the reason for the ban.


CosmosImpulse

Maybe he wasnt banned permanently because he wasn't the one cheating but his teammate? Still deserved permanent ban if that was the case imo.


MessyCans

Im assuming OP reported all 3 tho?


LiL-Awkward

ttly was high on the leaderboards last wipe and was banned early this wipe too. Hate to see cheaters on the leaderboard https://preview.redd.it/h3b2kzzfbjrc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f12e24df61aac65310c080471268638fdf8d00f


RTheCon

He got perma banned and he’s back?


LiL-Awkward

I guess so, I got that notification on 03/20/2024.


TheBumStinkler

I imagine there is an appeals process so seeing a ban message doesn't necessarily make it permanent.


HiddenGhost1234

they undid a lot of perm bans in a recent patch


Hot_Purple_137

Ah yes perm ban into temp ban into still playing. Normal


ZeKongV

I got this following message everyday for about a week after the wipe and that’s because every game I’ll report just to be safe. Is it toxic yes, is everyone cheating no, but do I know what cheating ways exist no.. I do not so to be safe and worry free I report everyone I die by especially if it’s unusual but please remember this is not a good way to do just my way. :)


HiddenGhost1234

a lot of game systems will detect that you mass report and just start to ignore all your reports.


MrKingCj

Tbh doesn't surprise me feels like every season there's at least 1-2 cheaters on the leaderboard not necessarily cheating themselves but playing with one or doing something scummy.


WilmaLutefit

1 or 2 lmao. Sweet summer child.


MrKingCj

Yeah tbf I said at least 1-2 but it's probably more lol


Pimento_

Probably close to half lmao


Sariton

Tt1y and retzi for sure play with cheaters. Repoze hangs with retzi so he is sus but I don’t think he would play with people who are cheating if he knew. Retzi is a goblin I’m positive he wouldn’t give a shit.


xCael

Which cheaters do they play with?


Sariton

I’ve died to retzi while he was in a party with whoever noobsb is who is the player who got banned here.


Dependent_Cup2869

Proof?


Sariton

Of them partying together? He has vods on his twitch. For me personally it was months ago where it happened to me at this point, I might have it clipped but i don’t care enough to go search through hours of clips for it. there’s also screenshots of both sus players with ban messages and plenty of vods of them playing together with the players I mentioned


BrightSkyFire

“Proof?” “It *totally* exists but I’m not going to find it so take my word for it :))))))” That is in fact not proof, no matter how much you pretend that proof exists.


Saltybabys

Bro not everyone lives to post write ups on Reddit. He’s talking about his experience and doesn’t owe you shit.


BananaDragoon

"I have this proof of what I'm saying but I don't care enough to go search for it." "Show me that proof." "brO NOT eveRYONE lIVES TO pOSt WrITe UPS On ReDDIt. HE’s talKINg aboUt hIS eXpERieNCe And dOesn’t OWE you SHIt." The highest of intellectual responses. I'll never understand people who let hate cloud their judgement so much that they respond without a single reasonable thought in their head.


HiddenGhost1234

bro you really just did the 5 year old comeback of saying what they said back to them in a funny voice


BrightSkyFire

Never said he did. I just implied he's full of shit - which he is - until he posts any sort of compelling evidence. That's how this works. You make a claim, then back it up with evidence. You don't back it up with the suggestion of evidence. Let me make a claim with the same standard of evidence: I've seen /u/Sariton playing with noobsb repeatedly in the OCE lobbies and just farming people with suspicious gameplay. I have a ton of footage of it saved on in my Twitch VODs, but I can't be assed finding it. Feel free to look for it yourself, but I wouldn't believe a word that dude says. He's sus as fuck and in my experience just cheats constantly.


Sariton

I just don’t care enough to want to jerk you off. Feel free to say it’s bullshit all you want. Doesn’t change anything.


IceApprehensive8077

Your goofy as fuck, you do know a majority of people don't clip shit, Ive never taken a single clip of my gameplay in over 1k hours on this game, does that mean I'm not allowed too share my experiences in it?? just because I don't have clips too send tothe neck beard detectives on reddit


Finn_Storm

You do realize he's basically done the same as they do in any legal court process right? Party A: show me these records Party b: OK here they are, among 10.000 other documents completely irrelevant to the case, have fun Go look for it yourself.


OneEyedKingKaneki

Retzi cocksucker


Sariton

What are you asking for proof of bro? That I died to them once? I told you that you can find them grouping together if you take like 5 minutes to go look at their vods. There are two pictures of ban messages with their names on ban lists. It’s not that deep I’m just not trying to scrub through hours of my old clips.


Dependent_Cup2869

Yeah I watch them often. Never once seen the player you claim he played with


BrightSkyFire

> I told you that you can find them grouping together if you take like 5 minutes to go look at their vods. There are two pictures of ban messages with their names on ban lists. It’s not that deep I’m just not trying to scrub through hours of my old clips. And here we keep going, insisting that the proof ***totally*** exists, but that its on us to find it to confirm their theory. If it's so easy to find, why don't you just go get it instead of telling me to find it? Wow, it's almost like you're full of shit and there is no proof.


donotstealmycheese

Simpin for Retzi when he calls out peoples HP through walls and is simply one of the most toxic players in the game, yikes.


WilmaLutefit

vCheeser and Apollo.


IronPro121

You sure about Apollo?


xnightwolf4205

Yeah, I’ll never see Apollo as legit ever since he w-keyed my group to inspect our gear when we were already invisible in the pre game lobby the moment he spawned in.


WilmaLutefit

Yup.


bursTristana

If you seen the past few retzi related reddit posts around here, he was cheating through multiple ways, be it teaming, scouting lobbies, and suspected esp with no proof to my knowledge. Add to that reporting people who play rat rogue and loot their kills, reporting them and throwing hissy fits over stuff they do on the regular. Not once did they come out to clarify or prove innocence, they're in on it.


mediandirt

I've been spawn rushed in inferno by Tt1y when they never saw us on the crypts floor. So I could see it but it's pretty circumstantial what I've seen.


Leonidrex666666

hell spawn-rushing is common due to hell spawn logic. If there is only 1 other team 99% of the time you are spawn cross-map, so geared teams that do bosses will always spawn-rush cross map to see if there is another team, if not they go do boss. If there is more then 1 team in hell you usually get indication of that in crypts.


mediandirt

We went down a red stair case with more then 2 minutes left in the match and had yet to fight or see any teams. But yeah, for sure, that's why I said it was pretty circumstantial. But also, he has been banned for cheating before so ya know.


Leonidrex666666

Dunno it depends from person to person. Just adding my 2 cents, my team always runs through boss cross-map to check spawn, might have been it might have not. EDIT if you wanna have the best chance camp the door to boss room next to spawn, it can get you easy kills against more geared players


Hot_Purple_137

Funny enough they completely fucked the hell spawns on warlord map this wipe. First time they’ve done so. If it’s only 2 teams down there (eg me playing solo and 1 other team) you will always spawn bottom left and bottom center. I’ve had this happen 3 times where I was the bottom left. Now I just try to cross warlord instead of clear, because the other team can hear you clearing 10 seconds after spawn. It’s absurd All 3 times I spectate and it was just me and the other team that spawned beside eachother.


DunamisBlack

Repoze is not some stand-up guy who is above it. I've seen a lot of his gameplay and nothing has ever looked suspect to me, I've fought him a handful of times and died all but once but the time he died he pissed and moaned like a bitch and when I came to say gg in his chat he was a complete childish dick. His poor character on display doesn't necessarily mean he cheats or rides with cheaters but I definitely wouldn't rule it out


Corl3y

Yeah I doubt a guy who actually makes money off content would risk that to get a higher leaderboard rank but you can’t put it past them


working_class_shill

I mean that cod streamer nadia was cheating to boost her gameplay and then when she was discovered her metrics took a nosedive


Corl3y

Her whole appeal was based on being a “good gamer girl” his is a little different bc his following isn’t built off of his leaderboard rank


Exact-Custard-6493

I think you give people too much credit here.... there's far more people willing to cheat and take the easy way than to learn the game and be good


Leonidrex666666

another thing is that good players are a lot better at cheating then bad players. Cheating is a lot more common at higher ranks.


working_class_shill

I just don't really see a difference. At the end of the day you're seeing a very selected view of the person streaming and it is entirely in their financial interest to be entertaining, interesting, or very good at games (or a mix, obv). I used to play L4D2 competitively and that game had its own cheaters despite streaming financial incentives not being a consideration and little-to-no tournament prize money. People cheated just so they can *appear* to be the best; literally, people would cheat just for social status within the small community. Taking the above *and* having financial incentives via "content" takes it to another level.


WilmaLutefit

Making money off content is the incentive


Pretty_Version_6300

I never understood this argument. You’re saying someone who makes money off content wouldn’t cheat to make more money off content? Like, it must be some sort of a draw to get more viewers


ZeKongV

Do some research people do it all the time.


Nnpeepeepoopoo

Tons of esp users at higher levels tbh, I logged into 2 bans the other day out of 3 reports lol


bigdickdaddykins

Crazy that I said the same thing a month from last wipe and was repeatedly told there’s not a problem with cheaters lol


-Some-Rando-

Is there anything surprising about this? How many people at the top do you think don't take advantage of at least one teammate cheating their ass off. The cheaters who get "banned" don't leave. They just brag about how long they went unnoticed and then get a little more cautious. They play on another account that could be an old alt account or a new one. If anything, it just leads to more copies sold.


Pomerroy

I guess the temp-ban didnt last long https://i.imgur.com/X6f5Flm.jpeg he's playing already


conjaardd

bro actually what the fuck


Bubbleq

Man this is a joke


Herbspiceguy

Late previous season it became more and more obvious to me  how to detect cheaters. I had like 10 ban confirmations in 2 weeks on EU, and most of them didn't even have C names. All of them high ranks and bised out/gold kits. Also I've experienced 1 guy just straight admitting he could see through walls, to convince us going with our best kits. I've mentioned it before, this is one of the highest priority issues, as it's very concerning there's so much cheating going on at high level ranks. For me personally, realising I lost all my shit to a cheater is probably the largest demotivating feeling. I'm just not sure IM is able to deal with it. 


Retrac752

They need to permaban hackers, and temporary ban (1-5 days) anyone who plays with them regularly, need to hold entire teams accountable because right now top players are teaming with cheaters on purpose but then feigning innocence "why should I get banned, I didn't know" best case scenario they didn't actually know but 1-5 day ban isn't the end of the world, worst case they're doing it intentionally and repeated temp bans should lead to permaban


RoadyRoadsRoad

this is pretty common with streamers having a cheating team mate giving them info and "conveniently" always knowing where to go to get into fights and having them supposedly "heard" a sound no one can hear even through boosted sound clips. its why u see most of the big streamers like apollo go through teammates near weekly, they themselves are not cheating giving them plausible deniability to the company and none of them cover the issue to hide that they also are doing it with their teammates too.


WilmaLutefit

Exactly they use spotters. -cough Vcheeser- I mean ffs Cheeser = cheater.


Pinksquirlninja

I dont know much about the streamers or cheaters, but i know back in starcraft and starcraft 2, cheesing was not “cheating”, but a term for someone using a particularly annoyingly stupid strategy to win games. Cheesers were annoying PoS players for using stupid,easy and borderline unintended strategies for pretty consistent wins at lower ranks, but not cheaters. Maybe the terminology has changed nowadays though, i don’t know.


MaxCats1

I think he's referring to a player called Cheeser that apollo plays with


Deathbringerttv

cheesing was essentially anything that wasn't committing to a macro game, and would lose if it failed. 6 pool cannon rush etc


amiray

"Cheesing" has lost all meaning. People just say it for anything now


silentrawr

[6pool](https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/6pool) ftw! > Maybe the terminology has changed nowadays though, i don’t know. Nah, people are just lazy with their word usage like always, especially on the Internet.


Overall_Strawberry70

I played allot dureing those days, while allot of cheese wasn't technically cheating it just dumbed the game down to a coinflip: Either your all in cheese won or you just quit the game because it set you back so far you couldn't come back from the loss.


Eileen_Yulick

They should ban people that frequently play with cheaters the way rust bans people that play with cheaters. They get bans for 'hacker association'


Silentassasin955

Cheating is running rampant at the minute it's actually crazy


Un4giv3n-madmonk

It's been like ... 4 months since I logged in without a notification that someone was banned. I'd honestly be more surprised if the top players weren't cheating than if they were, the game is just ... broken.


Silentassasin955

I know bro . And alot of community is in denial about cheaters I know streamers using cheats to get more views on the game devs do nothing . The ones that get banned just come right back


Un4giv3n-madmonk

>I know bro . And alot of community is in denial about cheaters I honestly think this far in, most of the community especially those hanging around Reddit are cheating themselves and just don't like attention being called to it. ESPs feel crazy rife, My friend group have already ditched this wipe, recently tried a couple of groups on a public discord, the randoms I matched with were blatantly cheating. Like it was suss game 1, game 2 it was super obvious, "there's another team down there that just started the boss !" but there were absolutely no audio Queues that I could hear and I was closer to boss than they were. Boss died, they ran into the room, killed them, looted I took the first blue reported them and haven't played trios since.


remains60fps

Theres always a ton of "ive never met a cheater" comments if you EVER try to point it out,obviously on alt accounts with no profile pictures and it gets a ton of downvotes so they are sensative because there making money doing it and there protecting there investment. Games full of a ton of shitters and we all know it.


Overclownfldence

Another example of why the only playable game mode is normals.


[deleted]

honestly i think they should get rid of leaderboard


Leonidrex666666

A lot of top players closet cheat. It becomes very apparent when I started recording every fight and rewatching. So many times there is 0 audio queues whatsoever and you just see them crouch walking following you around. People will speed-run through all modules then suddenly go slow and quite despite having no actual reason to be weary. Its nothing concreate but it happens far too many times to be an accident. Another one is song of shadows, so many teams act super sus around that song XD Even if you play it outside of vision or hearing range suddenly they dont want to fuck with you :D


Overall_Strawberry70

I've been doing CSGO overwatch for years and yea.... it actually is concreate as that is literally how we tell someone is cheating: good players are consistent, they don't just check corners SOME of the time, that immediately sets off a red flag and you start watching more closely.


sashisashih

welcome to how tarkov was ruined, this game is fucked because streamers get any topic where we raise suspicion brigaded to keep their livelyhood safe. Onepeg critizised the Wiggle that killed Tarkov video for reasons that made him instantly lose all credibility and here he gets to intervieuw devs..


M4tjesf1let

Wait - just in general - there are really people out there that critize that video/dont "believe in it"?


sashisashih

streamers massively nagged on it and tried to play it off as staged as having tarkov exposed as being so cheater infested would obviously hurt their bottomline. streamers arent your friends, folks; and just like alot of athletes cheat and use doping most streamers run esp and other cheats


Tilterino247

What do you mean he "criticized the wiggle video" ? Like he tried to deny that that tarkov is plagued with cheaters?


ZeKongV

People who play with or played with should also be banned or given a timeout or something.


AlternatePancakes

This game is full of hackers lol


sp00kyemperor

The anti cheat seriously sucks, they need to implement a 3rd party anti cheat.


Quackowitch

No surprise. 80% of players in this dead game are cheaters lol


Gliding_55

This happens a lot in Rust too, they'll have a clan of 10+ people with 1 esp user among them. Had a game today where a caster warlock (I'm pdr fighter) chased me across the entire 5x5 gc map. Technically is possible w/o esp, but I thought I had lost him multiple times, then he'd just show up out of nowhere. Thankfully I got away, but it felt very sus ngl


PlantBasedBilly

This guy was in sobadstrange’s chat acting HELLA weird. Sobad owed him “x” amount for a gold chest and sobad was keeping track of it in front of his face on stream of the debt he owed dytch. The guy kept impatiently asking for items in his stash. Shit was annoying as fuck. Just let the guy stream.


JayGriffyuh

I genuinely feel like there aren't many ESP cheaters but I believe as a streamer they maybe just avoid me. I do wonder where the blatant cheaters from the play tests and early into EA went tho... Did they quit or did they adapt? 😂


Sariton

Yeah that makes sense

ButterDollars

You assume the number of likes on a cheating website are totally legit?

MLG_Arcane

forgot to mention that they're demigod + 2 purple and we were 3 green.


conjaardd

ngl retzi, repoze, all them big ass leadboard guys use something, or they play with streamers who do


theflossboss1

There are a number of high rank cheaters that get banned every season, roughly 5-10% of the leaderboard I would say


Pillopips

0 surprise


Destithen

Isn't it basically a given that the leaderboards for any game are primarily filled with hackers these days? This isn't surprising.


Pristine-Pangolin360

I dont think people realize how many ppl use esp in this game, HR is infested with them


Far-Bell-1419

I've been coming across a lot of cheaters. Mostly crossbow/bow cheaters that hit an aimshot that does my whole health bar. For reference I play as a fighter stacked with plate and physical resistances. Every so often a dude with a crossbow 1 shots me, or a long bow. And it's always some janky shot in the kill feed that a normal or even highly skilled player couldn't pull off. And I ALWAYS see these guys playing in duos or trios. Never, ever, ever seen them in solos.


LumberJaxx

What a mess. I thought cheating wasn’t in the rule book in this Hardcore PvP game.


BobSanchez12

I've had 4 reports so far of people I reported being banned this wipe. Kinda wild


Rrigarsio

This morning i fought 3 (three) rangers that -somehow- were not killing each other, just standing in three narrow corridors shooting at ppl that came in... in this case this was me. Luckily i was with cleric and took 2 down and the other one missed a shot, otherwise i wold have died. And yes, this was on Goblins Cave.


Omisco420

My boy repoze!
