Botters have gone from aimbotting and afk item farming to basically crowding public lobbies with their bots, then using ai to voice spam slurs and "confessions of illegal activities" in the voice of people trying to bring attention to the bot problem. The botters have also done both doxxing (impersonating said people and spamming their personal info as well as using ai voice chat spam to get people to do vigilante action against innocent people), swatting (see previous), as well as using their majority in a server to kick anyone that tries to combat them.

Valve just closing their eyes and ears like they do to all other shitty things being done by players on their platform.

What do you want them to do? Shut the game down?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What kind of dumb answer is that? So its either accept the way it is or shut the game down? There is no way to fix a thing? Can't work on anti cheat, better moderation, actual consequences for the assholes doing this, etc?

What is it with so many people crawling so deep up Valve's ass. They are not some holy company that loves you deeply.

And I'm not just talking about the tf2 situation. Valve turns a blind eye to a lot of things on their platform such as hate speech and groups that purely exist to harass people.

What kind of dumb question is this? No, I asked you for a solution.

Can't work on anti cheat

Everyone's working on it. It doesn't work.

better moderation

How so?

actual consequences for the assholes doing this, etc?

Valve hands out bans like crazy but they spin up 100 new bots for every ban.

What is it with so many people crawling so deep up Valve's ass

What is it with so many people asking stupid questions?

Why do i need to come up with a solution? I don't work at Valve. We're asking Valve to come up with a solution and do something. Its their game. Its their code.

And to pretend Valve is trying hard is very ignorant... the only thing they try hard is adding more hats and making sure the marketplace works.

Because you're the one saying there is a solution when there isn't.
