Things are the same on 1x, 6man and conquest. Wizards, spawned bps all that tea is doin others been doin on 1x and 6man. As long as ppl buy their product and recruit known cheaters it wont change. Plus ark pvp community is small compared to sp and pve. Only way is if ppl dont buy asa
Love it when experience players play together but TEA are just assholes bunch of Chinese losers who are bad at the game and have ban tribes to win hopfully this won’t happen on ark 1.5 aka ark ascended
this is so fucked up man... its actually mind blowing to me that they would ban their customers... for attacking them in game.. and not only that, but ban all the content creators who are obviously going to show what happened. I just dont understand the logic of snail games here, they are going to ban some of the most important members of their community, to save a conquest base.... its mind boggling. thanks for the vid shock, sorry it went down like this, yall deserve better
I agree that their base probably was full to the gills with items they couldn't have possibly legitimately farmed in such a short time and probably a cloning chamber or 3 hiding right next to to insane blueprints. Iv played ark for a long time, but mostly Solo, but I can say having a full set of really good blueprints is pretty much impossible, especially in 13 days. And for them all to be the same grade gear, too? I mean.. Unless Tea is being run off something like ChatGPT level AI or something, there's just no way. People have to sleep, eat, work, or go to school.. You just wouldn't have the time to get all those blueprints from grinding in just 13 days. Not unless the RNG God's literally blessed their entire tribe..
Banned right before you got in the base was no accident, they couldn't let all the twitch/TH-cam viewers see all the duped and spawned in god tier blueprints. They 100% would have had some sketchy stuff in that base that would have exposed them so bad that they decided banning 90 people would be less impactful 😂 so glad i switched to Rust awhile ago. Hopefully more people will put their addiction to this game to the side and move on finally. Doesn't matter how many people complain or how much noise is made when they know you'll stay playing the game and pay for all the new dlcs or new games they put out unfortunately
the only way they will feel any consequence is if people don't buy ark 1.5 but at a guess i would say if they don't make enough out of that cash grab of a port and patch then ark 2 will be stopped cause they are probably relying on this to give them enough money to finish it even then it will be less then what they promised and only a half finished game that isnt even an alpha testing quality of a game
Naw I don't play like that anymore but Rust is alot more pvp oriented and you can be at end game pretty fast, unlike ark where you have to grind millions of arb and breed for multiple irl days just to get one dino. You get wiped in rust you just build another 2x1 for casual pvp (depending on your play style) or just enjoy the rest of the week doing other things until force wipe. Personally I've never felt the need to stay up all night protecting my Rust loot unlike I did for ark. In rust you just lose out on acouple days of progression, but in ark you're losing out on months and months of work.

This needs more attention and proper investigating by wildcard, quite frankly it makes me want nothing to do with Ark as long as snail games are involved with it. Good on you for persisting and exposing these cheaters
its like you investigating your employer and trying to stop them its not gonna happen. the only way to stop them is to not buy ark 1.5 they then flop as a company cause we all know they don't have the funds to make ark 2 with out everyone buying 1.5 which we all know they aren't going to fix anything in the game like the meshing, bugs, cheats its just a graphical upgrade. Its time to stop playing ark and move on to other games let snail and wild card die and maybe someone can buy the rights to it later on and actually make a decent game out of it then
You can sue video games that falsely banned you for no reason. EULA usually has a company covered but if their advertising or license agreement was outright misleading, you might be able to take part in a class action law with other users
they should 100% do this, the studio and devs deserve to be punished and possibly even have their business taken down. they have proved that they CANNOT stand proudly with honor and dignity as a company and therefore should be pushed out of the market. children belong in the kiddy pool not in the big pool with all the mature grown-ups.
Suing in grounds or eupa when they are nit solid in court at best of times fue to the fact you buy the game first the law in many places has dictated unless u given the contract before you buy the game if u give the contract after then its deemed misleadingg allready
@@demonic_myst4503 depending on where the game is being sold they actually can be sued and since its being sold in most countries, a lot of people can fight this. they were not only cheating against players in a competitive PvP server, they actively went to a known hacker to cheat for them. so not only did they hire a hacker, they re-rolled the server back multiple times AND then banned these players, all in order to prevent the secret of their artificially inflated armory from getting out.
Wildcard needs a new publisher, cheating devs aren’t good optics when your neck deep in development of a pivotal title release. By the time the do anything, it’s gonna be too late
As a player with 40k+ Hours since the end of legacy days. I truly hope the people understand how corrupt this game is and I hope people don't waste their money on ASA and 2!!! 📈📈📈🙏🙏🙏
Snail Games: "We have a huge launch soon for a huge game and attracting players will be important. What should we do?" Snail Games : **cheats and bans everyone during the biggest event of the year** 3x10^8 IQ
i heard about this. we've had our own experiences like this on xbox with a certain group of people. we never had anything approaching this mush evidence tho. its really sad to see the game in this state after nearly 8 years of time put in. ive given up at this point but i appreciate eveything you guys are doing to bring this to light. the players (even the toxic ones) dont deserve to be treated this way by the developer.
thank you for making this vid to open this conversation of corruption. this was extremely entertaining but so sad to see our beloved game taken away from us all and abusing it's powers. you guys rock for doing this!
Amazing stuff you all do, committing so much coordination, so many hours, and so much time into exposing the corruption at the core of official PVP. To hell with TEA and Snail games, the corruption has always been there and it's still just as sickening as before, here's hoping this light being shined on it finally spurs someone to do SOMETHING. Sadly, most PVErs just don't care about PVP, but I still cling to hope that some justice will be done.
@@morgancrane2439 I personally don't cheat online, or even play online much other than vrchat and sometimes minecraft anymore. Thing is, second money is involved, greedy bastards will do ANYTHING for that money, the whole roblox situation is a pretty good example of that. Look up people make games on their roblox videos if you need context.
As much as i hate to frame it like this....every single interaction ive had with gaming and chinese players has been like this in mutiple games from mobile, console, and pc.
Think you’ll be glad to hear, TEA are confirmed coming to official servers for ASA 😂 will be interesting to see how they are treated when wildcard is enforcing the servers again.
@@alejandropinto1399 unfortunately that’s 1: not how it works and 2: not that easy. You can’t just ban the owners of the game, wildcard might develop the game but snail games publishes it and owns a large portion of it.
If enough of a furor is made by the cimmunity over this there is no way that TEAs pocket devs will make it to the ASA servers. Honestly they messed this one up if they want to play 1x in ASA, EVERYONE is going to want to wipe them.
I was a part of the Mega Tribe coalition to wipe TEA years ago (probably was the 2018 he quoted) We had to have wiped them at least 4-5 times. Every time the servers became so laggy it was unbearable, and it would without fail be back to before their base was wiped. 2 of the times a Dev came on and said to "stop" because they were going to be "rolling back servers". On the final rollback Everyone who was part of the raid lost everything in upload, all placed structures, etc. Still came back, wiped them one more time...Guess whose base was back when we scouted it, and was missing nothing? :) EVERYONE WANTED to wipe them, and it was still impossible. Unless WC put their foots down and don't allow ANYONE from Snail to have access to a(n) Admin/Privileged account, as well as actually bans them for cheating (they scream aimbot yet do it themselves, on top of other cheats),nothing will change.
Snails dev team on conquest isn't affiliated with Wildcard it is entirely composed of Snail Games employees. I do not expect TEA to have their devs on ASA because of this. Wildcard doesn't want them to have control over official servers (but they can't just cut them out of the game since they are in a legal contract with Snail Games) that's why they made Conquest/Classic. So Wildcards official servers won't have people with an unfair advantage on them and their publisher won't try and punish them. This is why Conquest/Classic bans don't apply to main official. Wildcard knows that Conquest/Classic is corrupt.
@@JoZoo-rh9lk And yet TEA was on officials for ages before conquest... In Which they had Devs spawning them OP BPs and rolling back their server any time they were wiped.. I hope they won't be part of ASA, or at least that they won't have access to Devs, but we will see.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken I'm aware of what happened with TEA. I played when this happened. Wildcard saw the negative press they were getting from TEA and decided to separate them from the official servers (this isn't confirmed but it is the most likely story). They dev wiped TEA. It is fairly obvious that they don't want a situation like what happened to continue happening either on ARK 1 or ASA.
This sux to see these guys ruining official. I love all ur videos and for you guys to all sacrifice you're accounts to expose them is an awesome thing for the community. I just hope it will be worth it for ascended release
its conquest not official they used to be in official but wildcard was like AW HELL NAH GET YO ASSES OUT OF HERE so snail games made conquest where they can do whatever tf they want
On smalls (Pre extinction), it took me nearly a year of hitting drops everyday on east lava cave, on center for a year. To get a full set of 500+ dura apprentice flak bps.
This is like if you went to a GM Chess tournament, made it to the final round, find out your opponent is also the tournament organizer and arbiter and 1-3 moves before you win the opponent flips the table, accuses you of cheating and then bans you from all Chess activities unless you change your name. Now imagine that pro chess is your career which means you were effectively booted out of your profession, which is financial damages and hardship. Because that's what happened to the content creators: lost revenue. That's how I'd explain it to the judge.
The issue with that argument is that the game of chess isnt owned by anyone. Ark is. So even though you have a case maybe in court, the financial cost would outweigh the damages. There's a lot of mitigation. Their career is streaming and entertaining and they'd have to argue they can only entertain through ARK. They'd have to wade through logs of accusations and counter suits which snail would throw at them. Best thing to do is boycott their product.
knew about this years ago in both ark AND atlas, everyone told me to take off my tinfoil hat, glad this is all finally getting some traction and people are noticing, took long enough
A Lawsuit is to be insued honestly with this. Like the Licensed agreement and terms of service and all to play the game, this is Admin corruption. I seen over 4 vids of this and Honestly, eversince the Bomb review on Ark and eversince the announcement of ASA, Push back of Ark 2 and more, to see people on steam downvoting Ark and warning others to save their money and not buy because ASA is coming... It honestly hurts seeing this, and you all sacrificing yourselves are souly amazing. All 90 of you are respectable and kind. May Helena help you all get unbanned and serve justice.
i quit ark couple years ago for gettign meshed and then dev wiped 2 times in a row by a random admin i never cheated i loved ark and this is the state its come to sad to see such a good potiential game.
I never got into this game but heard that it was quite fun but it baffles me that admins(or players with admin power) are allowed to play competitively and that it is not frowned upon. If you look at other games like Rust or DayZ the rule #1 is that admins are not allowed to play unless they are hosting a special event or something like that. Why are people playing on those servers if admins are playing and obviously abusing their powers?
Wow... And this is why I just stick to Roleplay on Ark... I could never spend all that time just to be banned for that BS. I am really sorry this happened. Thanks for bring it into the light.
They were getting wiped for sure 😂😂 but on a real note surely studio wildcard can take snail games to court with this and all the other evidence which blatantly shows that tea have pocket devs and are ruining a game that so many people love.
kinda hard to take your boss to court for a game they now own that you made. they sold their soul to the devil and now they burn for it dont buy ASA/ARK 1.5 and watch them fold as a company snail will sell arks rights off to the highest bidder in a few years and then it can be rebooted until then all you do is fund snail and the CCP
Was kind of already planning on boycotting Ark 1.5 and Ark 2 unless on sale or for free because well i've played since day 1 and already kind of know wildcards history and hell look at Atlas(for the people who say it's not the same studio get real lol) also never fixing some bugs like reloading in Ark. None the less this means i'm 1000% not buying any game produced by Snail Games or any game that they are in any way involved in #BoycottSnailGames
It's too sham. On those company. Who are using their power I'm very sad to see my favorite game like that Thank you very much for this video. I have over 20K hours. I have never seen something like that. I don't play pVp I play PVE Official server only And single player Because I was sure 100% there's something going to be wrong. You just proved for me I was the 100% right Long time ago I did report some stuff but nothing. Has been done. I thought there was something more important than that I reported. So now you approved for me Yes there is something behind tables.
wildcard should take legal action against snail games for mod abuse this company is disgusting Tea should go play on pve server cant take a L they probs banned before you could see what was in there vaults and what was spawned in for them 🤣 ill like see asmongold react to this
Wildcard tried act against snail games before thats why thes conquest servers exist they used do this shit on official but wild card went after them iver it snail games basicly gagged ordered them and made them open up the conquest servers that give snail gakes authority
I have nearly 7K hours into Ark, but after seeing this, along with numerous other videos discussing Snail's corruption, I will be uninstalling Ark. I cannot stand cheaters nor greed.
Imagine Blizzard staff running a PvP guild in WoW and banning anyone who beat them in Arenas and BG's....jeebus. Really wanted to get into ARK but I think I'll be staying with my other survival craft games.
I really hope that most of ark’s playerbase will come together as a collective and boycot the game! Force snail games to F$%#* off! And I am sure another company will gladly take over their spot!!!
I will never buy anything from snail games again if they dont come out with a public explanation of how they'll never let this happen again. I used to love ark, i was even going to start playing again, but idk if I can enjoy knowing this.
They likely will be there next event, but I'm curious if you guys could manage a server wide assault on tea. Just imagine all tribes uniting to hit them, if they banned everyone then it would literally just be them playing that one server. Doubt it would work but if it did might send a message to them.
Well. It was great while it lasted! Surely you’ll play in our tribe again soon! Fuck TEA, but I knew as soon as I watched Adam get banned it was gonna go down. Lmaoo gg onto the next server
TEA is built on server 2118 (NA island) for ASA. Its all the same people and names from this video. Steam accounts loaded with VAC ban histories. They are on blue ob for now. Tried building in pack but they did the rocket cheese for turrets at 6am / china prime time.
im very angry with this situation. almost 10k hours ingame and almost 2 years without playing this game, cause the cheaters and neglet from this company. instead of fix the game, they abuse on legit players/content creators. in 7 years, yesterday wrote a very negative review, is the only thing that i can do to support you. Snail games can introduce their new games in the anus, im not buying ASA, and lets see ark2. i hope someone can switch situation ( only Wildcard, Snail are a scum publishers) cause i loved this game, and nowadays still consuming game content from you and others streamers/ytubers. Thanks for the entertainment and hope to see you soon again in streams. pd: sorry for my english :P
So far we have heard and read almost only bad things about Snail and their connections. Before we put money in our hands and buy the game (Ark 2) we expect at least one statement. We have also had bad experiences with the TEA group (Player Ban). The community must stick together.
As a Admin on my own Server I can only say that I have not seen anything like this before ...😢Sad Day... mb somebody should tell them Ark is a Game... looks they didnt go out of their Nursery😅
They do this on Atlas aswell. The devs play the game and put in duping exploits early in the season then ban people who also used it but not there companies. If you attack them your company is banned. If you mention any of this in discord you get erased. It is very sad
That ARK: Survival Evolved is a corrupt game publisher have been known by everyone that play officials for so many years. People getting banned while not doing nothing ilegal, people getting dev wiped by a dev that get pays real money, etc.
@@LegendaryJae213 Wildcard doesn't enforce barely at all, they just Dev wipe whole servers occasionally but they don't stop all the random aimbotters and move hackers.
@@Saktoth because you can't with their system nor team. If you actually think about it, they have maybe 3 people on the enforcement team. That's just wildcard not snail games.
This is not the 1st time or the last time these Devs have done this! Look into Spartans vs NoNoNo the 2 biggest tribes in Ark went at it over 5 years ago and we Spartans over 200 of us got banned because Devs was on No No No. The exact same issue we took their base and main server wiped them, then they rolled back our 72hr raid. We had videos and proof of the raid and Devs watching during the raid. I also have tweets and messages from a dev on how other devs in No No No got us banned. I use to work with them back in SOTF alpha days and know Exactly who did this. No names but if you find my tweets and messages in the forums you can see the corrupt Devs names. But it's a WildCard thing they don't Give A Fk and let them ruin the game. "Frank, Blue, X The OGs Spartans"
Im glad that i quit conquest after like 1 week because the tribe i was in was just shit so i didnt have to experience the drama myself but that just sounds like a typical Tea moment to me
@@trizzlehizzle9068 a dev wipe is a dev wipe and people wrongfully banned are people wrongfully banned idk why you need to be in the top 2 tribes of ark to experience that
@@SecxndV69 you literally pretended yoiu :didnt have to experience: this because you stopped playing. thats not the reason. you coulved played everyday you woudlnt experience this. youre not good lol. this is like watching a professional sports team lose the final game and saying "im glad i quit in the 3rd grade so i didnt have to have this dissappointment. like what on earth makes you think youd ever experience this as a garbage casual ark player? lol
@@trizzlehizzle9068 so you are saying that even if i kept playing and more of the people im close with are wrongfully banned and then at some point maybe including me i wouldnt experience what a unreasoned ban is? And yes i did not have to experience a ban or dev wipe myself because i stopped playing thats how it is buddy. Also i cant imagine that killing 3-4 people with a fabby is hard and well then get banned idk if he killed more before or something but yh. And who exactly are you if im allowed to ask?
I 100% agree, bit the flak bps have all 50 crafting skill and got 800 dura which means bp is like 550-600 As a smalls player uk that there r insane bps out, oc they r mostly duped but its deffo doable. Still kinda sus they all apprentice
i remember all the drama from legacy, before everyone knew what TEA really was (the "im goddess, my dad owns Wild Card" time, or w/e they used to say).
until Island Boys get all their stuff back we should just do this- not buy Ark 2 and not rebuy Ark if they make us do that. Zero sales might make them actually care about their customers.
ive experienced this same thing on the mobile server a long time ago when Ark hit mobile, no surprise it happens on the main game as well. Sorry they did this to you and your tribe but it has secured my choice to NOT buy Ark 2 and to petition for this said tribe to be banned across ALL servers. They are the ruining factor that new players run into the game and decide never to play again. Sad its the games own publishers and devs...
Competitive gaming used to be so different many years ago. Some of the most ruthless pvp groups had strict honor codes, you would find yourself booted if you trash talked a lot and were instructed to use only chatter like "good fight" in local. Sure there were cheaters out there and most any of the large groups would distance themselves from that if at all possible. Basically: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. A publisher for a very difficult PVP game should have been conducting themselves in a far better manner and embraced that people were still pvp'ing in the game that paid their salary...Shame on them and I most likely won't spend another dime on that game because of it. Nothing worse then corruption at the highest level, Wildcard might want to address this issue before Ark 2 Tanks and most everyone is already up in arms about the whole official server debacle.
Don't buy anymore Snailgames stuff. This is how they treat their own players and content creators. Wildcard never addresses the big issues that have existed since release. Let it die. The sad truth is people will continue to support, play and record it because ARK is a one of a kind, and this makes the publisher and devs feel like there is no consequences for being as corrupt as they are.
I love ark so much but I'm so extremely saddened to see the state Ark and Wildcard/Snail Games have been displaying with development and management. I really do hope ASA comes out to be what Ark Survival Evolved should/should've been.
it wont ASA will be ark with some better graphics that's it they aren't fixing any problems with the game like the reloading bug or meshing or duping its a quick cash grab to get the funds to make ark 2 because they are broke now and don't have the funds to finish it or even half finish it to be able to release it as a beta test
Now that I've seen most of the footage, wow.... I can't believe how blatant this is, I haven't played much ark and even I can see what's happening here. Sad too, I was thinking of getting Ark 2, no way in hell am I doing that now.

More then childish it should be considered criminal. TBF it's not just ARK players it;s any full loot pvp game.
@@grinsRwins no one likes to lose, it's just the limits they are willing to cross for it though
I mean it's no worse than what hackers do, sure they should be better as devs, but it's ark official pvp after all
You can sue video games that falsely banned you for no reason. EULA usually has a company covered but if their advertising or license agreement was outright misleading, you might be able to take part in a class action law with other users
Good luck suing a company that's ran out of China and will NEVER come to the USA for a trial.
they should 100% do this, the studio and devs deserve to be punished and possibly even have their business taken down. they have proved that they CANNOT stand proudly with honor and dignity as a company and therefore should be pushed out of the market. children belong in the kiddy pool not in the big pool with all the mature grown-ups.
Suing in grounds or eupa when they are nit solid in court at best of times fue to the fact you buy the game first the law in many places has dictated unless u given the contract before you buy the game if u give the contract after then its deemed misleadingg allready
@@demonic_myst4503 depending on where the game is being sold they actually can be sued and since its being sold in most countries, a lot of people can fight this. they were not only cheating against players in a competitive PvP server, they actively went to a known hacker to cheat for them. so not only did they hire a hacker, they re-rolled the server back multiple times AND then banned these players, all in order to prevent the secret of their artificially inflated armory from getting out.
Wildcard needs a new publisher, cheating devs aren’t good optics when your neck deep in development of a pivotal title release. By the time the do anything, it’s gonna be too late
@@donaldb.9995 100% agree as someone who bought the trash heap reskin of ark known as Atlas
Hearing muntage in the vid makes it 10x better miss his uploads
Forgot he existed
Why isnt he making videos anymore??

As a player with 40k+ Hours since the end of legacy days. I truly hope the people understand how corrupt this game is and I hope people don't waste their money on ASA and 2!!! 📈📈📈🙏🙏🙏

This kinda crap is disgusting. You content creators can't let this one go. Good vid mate!
it’s almost comforting to hear montages voice after all these years
I don't understand how it's even enjoyable for tea. Like there's literally no point in playing a PvP server/game when you can't lose
They use it to sell dino and dupe, they need the money so they sell structure and dinos 😢
i heard about this. we've had our own experiences like this on xbox with a certain group of people. we never had anything approaching this mush evidence tho. its really sad to see the game in this state after nearly 8 years of time put in. ive given up at this point but i appreciate eveything you guys are doing to bring this to light. the players (even the toxic ones) dont deserve to be treated this way by the developer.
thank you for making this vid to open this conversation of corruption. this was extremely entertaining but so sad to see our beloved game taken away from us all and abusing it's powers. you guys rock for doing this!
Not only are you trying to save ark 1.5 your giving us Muntage audio ahh the feels
Amazing stuff you all do, committing so much coordination, so many hours, and so much time into exposing the corruption at the core of official PVP. To hell with TEA and Snail games, the corruption has always been there and it's still just as sickening as before, here's hoping this light being shined on it finally spurs someone to do SOMETHING.
Sadly, most PVErs just don't care about PVP, but I still cling to hope that some justice will be done.
I cant get my head round the fact fully grown adults are cheating in a dinosaur game loooool shits wild fr
real money is involved in the dino game (even after purchase). That should be reason enough to understand.
@@ForgedinPrint you sound like one of the adults im describing
@@morgancrane2439 I personally don't cheat online, or even play online much other than vrchat and sometimes minecraft anymore.
Thing is, second money is involved, greedy bastards will do ANYTHING for that money, the whole roblox situation is a pretty good example of that.
Look up people make games on their roblox videos if you need context.
Gotta love when they do this before Asa. Looks like they are definitely trying to drive more sales to Asa.
This undermines confidence in ASA as TEA will be playing 1x. It makes everyone involved seem incredibly corrupt.
I love everyone coming forward about snail games
As much as i hate to frame it like this....every single interaction ive had with gaming and chinese players has been like this in mutiple games from mobile, console, and pc.
Just another reason to never play another snail/wildcard game
I hope vin diesel sees this he will save us all lol
😂😂
Only if your family
Think you’ll be glad to hear, TEA are confirmed coming to official servers for ASA 😂 will be interesting to see how they are treated when wildcard is enforcing the servers again.
If TEA gets IP banned, I think the official community will be pleased
@@alejandropinto1399 unfortunately that’s 1: not how it works and 2: not that easy. You can’t just ban the owners of the game, wildcard might develop the game but snail games publishes it and owns a large portion of it.
Ballz
@@Curlyy__ u can ban players who cheat tho 😮
Wonder how many of the banned gonna buy Asa, prob alot. People vote with their wallet not yt vids and thats why things wont change
It’s amazing one tribe can be so universally hated
Not sure why any content creator would buy another ark title at all!
As always great content and thankyou for taking this up on behalf of the community ❤
If enough of a furor is made by the cimmunity over this there is no way that TEAs pocket devs will make it to the ASA servers. Honestly they messed this one up if they want to play 1x in ASA, EVERYONE is going to want to wipe them.
I was a part of the Mega Tribe coalition to wipe TEA years ago (probably was the 2018 he quoted) We had to have wiped them at least 4-5 times. Every time the servers became so laggy it was unbearable, and it would without fail be back to before their base was wiped. 2 of the times a Dev came on and said to "stop" because they were going to be "rolling back servers".
On the final rollback Everyone who was part of the raid lost everything in upload, all placed structures, etc. Still came back, wiped them one more time...Guess whose base was back when we scouted it, and was missing nothing? :)
EVERYONE WANTED to wipe them, and it was still impossible. Unless WC put their foots down and don't allow ANYONE from Snail to have access to a(n) Admin/Privileged account, as well as actually bans them for cheating (they scream aimbot yet do it themselves, on top of other cheats),nothing will change.
Guess everyone is getting banned
Snails dev team on conquest isn't affiliated with Wildcard it is entirely composed of Snail Games employees. I do not expect TEA to have their devs on ASA because of this. Wildcard doesn't want them to have control over official servers (but they can't just cut them out of the game since they are in a legal contract with Snail Games) that's why they made Conquest/Classic. So Wildcards official servers won't have people with an unfair advantage on them and their publisher won't try and punish them. This is why Conquest/Classic bans don't apply to main official. Wildcard knows that Conquest/Classic is corrupt.
@@JoZoo-rh9lk And yet TEA was on officials for ages before conquest...
In Which they had Devs spawning them OP BPs and rolling back their server any time they were wiped..
I hope they won't be part of ASA, or at least that they won't have access to Devs, but we will see.
@@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken I'm aware of what happened with TEA. I played when this happened. Wildcard saw the negative press they were getting from TEA and decided to separate them from the official servers (this isn't confirmed but it is the most likely story). They dev wiped TEA. It is fairly obvious that they don't want a situation like what happened to continue happening either on ARK 1 or ASA.
I hope the devs stop this shit and give us a fair game that's all we want
One of Ark best Raiders and TH-camrs band. I've been watching your videos for a long time this one was one of your best exposing truths
was great to hear muntage again! great video shock
Watched the whole thing on stream and it was a great day from start to finish. Shame we didnt get to see them wiped
Is there anything regular ark players do to help? So this doesn't happen in Ark 1.5.
This sux to see these guys ruining official. I love all ur videos and for you guys to all sacrifice you're accounts to expose them is an awesome thing for the community. I just hope it will be worth it for ascended release
its conquest not official they used to be in official but wildcard was like AW HELL NAH GET YO ASSES OUT OF HERE so snail games made conquest where they can do whatever tf they want
On smalls (Pre extinction), it took me nearly a year of hitting drops everyday on east lava cave, on center for a year. To get a full set of 500+ dura apprentice flak bps.
I would love to see this play out in Court as it look's like a strong case of Cheating by the server management.
This is like if you went to a GM Chess tournament, made it to the final round, find out your opponent is also the tournament organizer and arbiter and 1-3 moves before you win the opponent flips the table, accuses you of cheating and then bans you from all Chess activities unless you change your name.
Now imagine that pro chess is your career which means you were effectively booted out of your profession, which is financial damages and hardship. Because that's what happened to the content creators: lost revenue.
That's how I'd explain it to the judge.
The issue with that argument is that the game of chess isnt owned by anyone. Ark is. So even though you have a case maybe in court, the financial cost would outweigh the damages.
There's a lot of mitigation. Their career is streaming and entertaining and they'd have to argue they can only entertain through ARK. They'd have to wade through logs of accusations and counter suits which snail would throw at them.
Best thing to do is boycott their product.
Ain’t giving those companies another damn dime ‼️
Muntage gaming back?😍
i think he is playing but not filming anymore because he has a family and not enough to edit and play
I don't think after what happend on conquest xd
Someone unknown to either community, watching these videos, should join Tea, work their way up, and expose them for the hacking cheaters they are.
knew about this years ago in both ark AND atlas, everyone told me to take off my tinfoil hat, glad this is all finally getting some traction and people are noticing, took long enough
Hearing muntage again brought back sooo many memories
A Lawsuit is to be insued honestly with this. Like the Licensed agreement and terms of service and all to play the game, this is Admin corruption. I seen over 4 vids of this and Honestly, eversince the Bomb review on Ark and eversince the announcement of ASA, Push back of Ark 2 and more, to see people on steam downvoting Ark and warning others to save their money and not buy because ASA is coming...
It honestly hurts seeing this, and you all sacrificing yourselves are souly amazing. All 90 of you are respectable and kind. May Helena help you all get unbanned and serve justice.
i quit ark couple years ago for gettign meshed and then dev wiped 2 times in a row by a random admin i never cheated i loved ark and this is the state its come to sad to see such a good potiential game.
I never got into this game but heard that it was quite fun but it baffles me that admins(or players with admin power) are allowed to play competitively and that it is not frowned upon. If you look at other games like Rust or DayZ the rule #1 is that admins are not allowed to play unless they are hosting a special event or something like that. Why are people playing on those servers if admins are playing and obviously abusing their powers?
Wow... And this is why I just stick to Roleplay on Ark... I could never spend all that time just to be banned for that BS. I am really sorry this happened. Thanks for bring it into the light.
Justice for island boys
Keep it going
I pvp’d against you a few years ago and all your guys were good sports about it. Hope this gets sorted.
They were getting wiped for sure 😂😂 but on a real note surely studio wildcard can take snail games to court with this and all the other evidence which blatantly shows that tea have pocket devs and are ruining a game that so many people love.
They aren’t breaking any laws, if anything this is just going to kill the game due to investors pulling out
also wc has pocket devs too
kinda hard to take your boss to court for a game they now own that you made. they sold their soul to the devil and now they burn for it dont buy ASA/ARK 1.5 and watch them fold as a company snail will sell arks rights off to the highest bidder in a few years and then it can be rebooted until then all you do is fund snail and the CCP
@@onlineaddiction7712 Yes, it is. This is very clearly done for malicious reasons.
@@addison_v_ertisement1678 which laws are they breaking?
Please, we should make game media outlets aware of that thing so we can make snail stock drop even lower
Sad to see people still playing ark…let it rest guys we wont be getting 2015-2017 ark anymore
If wildcard and proper admins don’t change this shit, the game ain’t lasting longer than 2 more years
Was kind of already planning on boycotting Ark 1.5 and Ark 2 unless on sale or for free because well i've played since day 1 and already kind of know wildcards history and hell look at Atlas(for the people who say it's not the same studio get real lol) also never fixing some bugs like reloading in Ark. None the less this means i'm 1000% not buying any game produced by Snail Games or any game that they are in any way involved in #BoycottSnailGames
Ark 2 might not be going to PlayStation
"You don't get banned for nothing"
Errr. Haha... Ok...
The amount of evidence you guys have is almost mindblowing...
It's too sham. On those company. Who are using their power
I'm very sad to see my favorite game like that
Thank you very much for this video.
I have over 20K hours.
I have never seen something like that.
I don't play pVp I play PVE Official server only
And single player
Because I was sure 100% there's something going to be wrong.
You just proved for me I was the 100% right
Long time ago I did report some stuff but nothing. Has been done. I thought there was something more important than that I reported.
So now you approved for me Yes there is something behind tables.
wildcard should take legal action against snail games for mod abuse this company is disgusting Tea should go play on pve server cant take a L they probs banned before you could see what was in there vaults and what was spawned in for them 🤣 ill like see asmongold react to this
Wildcard tried act against snail games before thats why thes conquest servers exist they used do this shit on official but wild card went after them iver it snail games basicly gagged ordered them and made them open up the conquest servers that give snail gakes authority
I have nearly 7K hours into Ark, but after seeing this, along with numerous other videos discussing Snail's corruption, I will be uninstalling Ark. I cannot stand cheaters nor greed.
Imagine Blizzard staff running a PvP guild in WoW and banning anyone who beat them in Arenas and BG's....jeebus. Really wanted to get into ARK but I think I'll be staying with my other survival craft games.
I really hope that most of ark’s playerbase will come together as a collective and boycot the game! Force snail games to F$%#* off! And I am sure another company will gladly take over their spot!!!
I will never buy anything from snail games again if they dont come out with a public explanation of how they'll never let this happen again. I used to love ark, i was even going to start playing again, but idk if I can enjoy knowing this.
Same here, this is just wrong on so many levels.
This needs to be a lawsuit.
They likely will be there next event, but I'm curious if you guys could manage a server wide assault on tea. Just imagine all tribes uniting to hit them, if they banned everyone then it would literally just be them playing that one server. Doubt it would work but if it did might send a message to them.
Well. It was great while it lasted! Surely you’ll play in our tribe again soon! Fuck TEA, but I knew as soon as I watched Adam get banned it was gonna go down. Lmaoo gg onto the next server
TEA is built on server 2118 (NA island) for ASA. Its all the same people and names from this video. Steam accounts loaded with VAC ban histories. They are on blue ob for now. Tried building in pack but they did the rocket cheese for turrets at 6am / china prime time.
You would think wildcard could look at their logs n see how much stuff gets spawned in or server roll back
They cheat on servers owned by snail games
wildcard make the game but they don’t publish it they really have no control over this
im very angry with this situation. almost 10k hours ingame and almost 2 years without playing this game, cause the cheaters and neglet from this company. instead of fix the game, they abuse on legit players/content creators. in 7 years, yesterday wrote a very negative review, is the only thing that i can do to support you. Snail games can introduce their new games in the anus, im not buying ASA, and lets see ark2. i hope someone can switch situation ( only Wildcard, Snail are a scum publishers) cause i loved this game, and nowadays still consuming game content from you and others streamers/ytubers. Thanks for the entertainment and hope to see you soon again in streams. pd: sorry for my english :P
So far we have heard and read almost only bad things about Snail and their connections.
Before we put money in our hands and buy the game (Ark 2) we expect at least one statement.
We have also had bad experiences with the TEA group (Player Ban).
The community must stick together.
As a Admin on my own Server I can only say that I have not seen anything like this before ...😢Sad Day... mb somebody should tell them Ark is a Game... looks they didnt go out of their Nursery😅
great vid shock 25k hours is crazy lmao good to hear an old voice too 😢
They do this on Atlas aswell. The devs play the game and put in duping exploits early in the season then ban people who also used it but not there companies. If you attack them your company is banned. If you mention any of this in discord you get erased. It is very sad
That ARK: Survival Evolved is a corrupt game publisher have been known by everyone that play officials for so many years. People getting banned while not doing nothing ilegal, people getting dev wiped by a dev that get pays real money, etc.
Nono, wildcard is great. Snail games is the issue.
@@LegendaryJae213 Wildcard doesn't enforce barely at all, they just Dev wipe whole servers occasionally but they don't stop all the random aimbotters and move hackers.
@@Saktoth because you can't with their system nor team. If you actually think about it, they have maybe 3 people on the enforcement team. That's just wildcard not snail games.
I love that they are getting exposed
This is not the 1st time or the last time these Devs have done this! Look into Spartans vs NoNoNo the 2 biggest tribes in Ark went at it over 5 years ago and we Spartans over 200 of us got banned because Devs was on No No No. The exact same issue we took their base and main server wiped them, then they rolled back our 72hr raid. We had videos and proof of the raid and Devs watching during the raid. I also have tweets and messages from a dev on how other devs in No No No got us banned. I use to work with them back in SOTF alpha days and know Exactly who did this. No names but if you find my tweets and messages in the forums you can see the corrupt Devs names. But it's a WildCard thing they don't Give A Fk and let them ruin the game. "Frank, Blue, X The OGs Spartans"
Im glad that i quit conquest after like 1 week because the tribe i was in was just shit so i didnt have to experience the drama myself but that just sounds like a typical Tea moment to me
oh yea you wouldve certainly experienced the top two tribes in all of arks drama. youre THAT guy. for sure.
@@trizzlehizzle9068 a dev wipe is a dev wipe and people wrongfully banned are people wrongfully banned idk why you need to be in the top 2 tribes of ark to experience that
@@SecxndV69 you literally pretended yoiu :didnt have to experience: this because you stopped playing. thats not the reason. you coulved played everyday you woudlnt experience this. youre not good lol. this is like watching a professional sports team lose the final game and saying "im glad i quit in the 3rd grade so i didnt have to have this dissappointment. like what on earth makes you think youd ever experience this as a garbage casual ark player? lol
@@trizzlehizzle9068 so you are saying that even if i kept playing and more of the people im close with are wrongfully banned and then at some point maybe including me i wouldnt experience what a unreasoned ban is? And yes i did not have to experience a ban or dev wipe myself because i stopped playing thats how it is buddy. Also i cant imagine that killing 3-4 people with a fabby is hard and well then get banned idk if he killed more before or something but yh. And who exactly are you if im allowed to ask?
I 100% agree, bit the flak bps have all 50 crafting skill and got 800 dura which means bp is like 550-600 As a smalls player uk that there r insane bps out, oc they r mostly duped but its deffo doable. Still kinda sus they all apprentice
this shi is crazy im glad I don't have to deal with this kind of stuff anymore
i remember all the drama from legacy, before everyone knew what TEA really was (the "im goddess, my dad owns Wild Card" time, or w/e they used to say).
until Island Boys get all their stuff back we should just do this- not buy Ark 2 and not rebuy Ark if they make us do that. Zero sales might make them actually care about their customers.
ive experienced this same thing on the mobile server a long time ago when Ark hit mobile, no surprise it happens on the main game as well. Sorry they did this to you and your tribe but it has secured my choice to NOT buy Ark 2 and to petition for this said tribe to be banned across ALL servers. They are the ruining factor that new players run into the game and decide never to play again. Sad its the games own publishers and devs...
Man I feel so bad for all you guys 😢😢😢
I only got 3700 hours, and most on our own servers, but this still pisses me off HUGE!
Bring Snail out!
hearing muntages voice brings back memories
Nah when you fight tea you get banned, last conquest 5 of us got banned for dropping their gacha tower while they was afk
Competitive gaming used to be so different many years ago. Some of the most ruthless pvp groups had strict honor codes, you would find yourself booted if you trash talked a lot and were instructed to use only chatter like "good fight" in local. Sure there were cheaters out there and most any of the large groups would distance themselves from that if at all possible.
Basically: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. A publisher for a very difficult PVP game should have been conducting themselves in a far better manner and embraced that people were still pvp'ing in the game that paid their salary...Shame on them and I most likely won't spend another dime on that game because of it. Nothing worse then corruption at the highest level, Wildcard might want to address this issue before Ark 2 Tanks and most everyone is already up in arms about the whole official server debacle.
An honorable end. Well done and thank you
Don't buy anymore Snailgames stuff. This is how they treat their own players and content creators. Wildcard never addresses the big issues that have existed since release. Let it die.
The sad truth is people will continue to support, play and record it because ARK is a one of a kind, and this makes the publisher and devs feel like there is no consequences for being as corrupt as they are.
WE STAND WITH YOU SHOCKIST!!!!
I love ark so much but I'm so extremely saddened to see the state Ark and Wildcard/Snail Games have been displaying with development and management. I really do hope ASA comes out to be what Ark Survival Evolved should/should've been.
it wont ASA will be ark with some better graphics that's it they aren't fixing any problems with the game like the reloading bug or meshing or duping its a quick cash grab to get the funds to make ark 2 because they are broke now and don't have the funds to finish it or even half finish it to be able to release it as a beta test
Pure comedy 🤣🤣 them mfs had no choice but to ban everyone ☠️
Great job guys great job thanks for video I won't be playing on their servers at all and I won't recommend anybody
People who were always bad at pvp ark and official always play god on private to feed their ego . Good content love watching you shock !
22:14 - CLICK HARDERRRRR !!!! lol i felt that
Snail games is a disgrace, ty for sharing and showing the real cheaters. Nice they get their own server where they can cheat and admin abuse.
Now that I've seen most of the footage, wow.... I can't believe how blatant this is, I haven't played much ark and even I can see what's happening here. Sad too, I was thinking of getting Ark 2, no way in hell am I doing that now.
This type of BS is why i stopped playing. Sorry you have to put up with this :(
