Streamers and exploiters

You keep saying “bottom line” like it’s a gotcha. The exploit hurt the game economy and gave cheaters an unfair advantage. That impacts SDS and every legit player. Both things can be true.

@Bridge-Piece_XBL I don't know anything about IP bans, but couldn't you use a VPN to get around that?

A VPN might get around a basic IP ban, but I doubt any serious enforcement would rely only on IP. Most bans can be tied to the account, console/platform, game profile, transaction history, or suspicious activity patterns.

So sure, someone could try to start over with a new account/VPN/etc., but that doesn’t mean SDS has no way to make it difficult or catch repeat abuse.

For Someone like Kyle though as long as he streamed or posted YouTube videos of his games then I think it would be very easy for SDS to track him down even if he masked his new Gamer ID. Simply look up the two team names, find the game in the game logs with the same score and get the gamer id from there.

Not that they would go through that trouble but they could.

Hey Hader and King like I've said give unfair advantage. I get it you just hate to admit trueths, that's fine. I never once said "it was a bad thing" because yeah it was. I've stated that it literally is NO different in the blunt face of ToS as EVERYTHING else and I don't feel bad when SDS has continued to ignore everything else. This years gameplay has been atrocious and they ignore it and say things like oh it's working as intended and even though we stated we removed it we left it in because it is more "realistic".

You’re not reading what I’ve been saying or you’re just so stuck in your ways that it’s not worth it. This will be my last reply to you.

I am going to go out on a limb here, even though I do not play competitively, and say that using Hader and King is not an exploit.

Is the issue with these cards a bug? Maybe, but using them is not an exploit.

Everybody has access to them. Everyone can use them. You can't use them in a way that was not intended by SDS, meaning you can't pitch them more often or have them pitch longer without running out of Stamina.

If everyone can obtain these cards and everyone who has them is operating under the same conditions for pitchers then using them does not provide any unfair advantage.

So just because we don't like how they operate and choose not to use them does not mean that those using them are exploiting.
