      Exactly, ignore the idiots. The same people that think there is no cheating or that it is very rare and are still spending money on the game are the same ones that think you sneakily started your channel several years ago so you could start making money years later doing videos on cheating which you don't care about. You can't argue with stupid. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

      91K followers? Should be more but we all can't be Muppets. Or can we? IGN - ZEBRA_25ER NA REBORN member and have even platooned with you Claus on PARIS and you was ragging about how I couldn't hit that tier 10 EBR. But if your serious about following the money, you maybe surprised on where it leads too. I have a felling Wargaming is behind it and it is nothing new. The old saying is there is always a market for stupid people with too much money to go spend it on nothing, says the con man. Enter Wargaming into the equation. I see a rip market for the pickings. Who is policing Wargaming is my question. I live in Philly and I know a crooked cop when I see one. Who's Wargamming's Cops???

      ..not all players play every day or at regular or irregular times, or only a few high tiers either, and on whichever server within a region, can also limit how often they could be able to notice rigging in a battle.
      Doesn't mean it is not happening, at all but also doesn't mean it's constantly everywhere either...
      I know some players use 'rigged/rigging' as an excuse for their inability to see mistakes they made in the heat of the moment battle situations that failed to be what their ego wanted to happen.

    Keep up the good work Claus. I've said it before on your videos that many of us are grateful for what you've exposed and the way you keep at it. A number of members of our clan and others from clans we have close associations with are refusing to spend more money on the game until WG do something about it. We've also flooded support with tickets telling them what we're doing. It's a small step but all I can do is encourage any player who is sick of being CHEATED to join us and keep their money in their pocket until something changes. These guys are cheating all of us and it's hard to work out why so many people are still willing to pay for the privilege of being cheated when WG seem to be in it up to their necks.

      I think so to. It's added income to them like selling over-priced in game rides, they just sell the overpriced tank through a "seemingly" outside cheat-company, when in fact there is as very good chance WG themselves are running the Cheat Boosting Companies. Otherwise, how would they get access to all the old 2012 to 2015 accounts (complete with the player's passwords to play the account) unless they had some inside involvement.

      W.g. employees selling access to inactive accounts to the boosters. Not actually the company implicitly rigging, but turning a blind eye to employees making some cash on the side. Or the company itself selling access to inactive accounts and adding the money to General revenue. No one said the company was rigging themselves, but how else would the boosting companies get lists of, and access to, inactive accounts?

    My personal belief is that WG made the campaign tier 10 reward tanks missions so hard that only the best players would get the some of the best tanks so to increase the difference in the divide. Many of these boosting companies I suspect have close links with WG as a way of receiving extra revenue under the counter. So no corrective action taken.

    Some easy measures come to mind:
    1) Restrict the Campaign mission grinds to single players only (so platoon battle results don't count). Rigging games outside a platoon is much more tricky to arrange.
    2) Transfer all game rigging and cheating accounts (including aimbot users and such) to a separate server instead of deleting or suspending them. If cheaters still want to play WoT, they can, but only vs other cheaters.

    Good work there Claus !! Been a long time viewer I really hope you succeed in making a difference ! Like you said the money is key. I really don't know why WarGaming didn't just give the players the alternative of paying a huge sum to just buy the reward tanks or playing the hard missions to get it for "free" . There must be a money spinner in it there for someone to turn a blind eye to this stuff.
    Now I haven't played WoT for maybe 2 years now and I stopped because the changes they made to the game seemed to take all the fun out of it for me.
    So what I think all this points to is that revenue has dropped to a point where WG has just decided if this makes them money , well to hell with the players we want the $$$$$ .

    We had 2 players account banned because we noticed game rigging and sent in the battles to WG , one of the mods was playing in one of the games and noticed some thing sus in that match . The players were farming of each other , their accounts have no activity since then .This was on the Asia server.

    Hi Claus. I have started looking for 0 damage done by tanks ever though 1,2 or 3 shots fired. Last game i played there were 2 players who caused 0 damaged, one had 0 shots fired and the other 3 shots but no damage caused. BUT they were both taken out by the same tank on our team. Cheers

    WG didn’t make money from team killing, if anything they lost money by banning players so they had a financial incentive to stop it. The boosting companies spend a lot of gold to rig the games so WG has little incentive to stop it.
    If you believe the boosting companies get those dormant accounts from an “insider” at WG it is also not a far stretch to believe certain EU content creators are getting favorable match making. Just look how often they get a string of victories where they don’t actually contribute much to the match…

    'But I've never noticed any rigging or cheating ..." Given the lack of map awareness by a large % of the player base, I can absolutely assure you most are not seeing cheating even when it is obviously occurring.
    I absolutely appreciate your dedication to the various topics which have highlighted and raised awareness about player quality of life issues, including game rigging & cheating.
    Keep it up Claus, pay no attention to the fan boys and pleaser accounts -- denial and counter-accusations are always early strategies of the guilty.

  • @jkoeberli
    @jkoeberli ปีที่แล้ว +1

    it's obvious that WG can't just sell reward tanks officially in game. so they hire/build riggers to have a "black market" to sell these OP vehicles for hundrets of bugs. it's quite obvious, otherwise they would ban cheaters.

    Good work, Claus! I've seen that high quality animated ad prior to a video beginning. And, since I am one of the not so great players that are the backbone of the game, I get in game messages from boosting companies several times a month, sometimes a few a week. So even though I may not have NOTICED cheating in the game while trying to play my own game, the fact that I get an in game message tells me that the cheating companies WERE IN THAT GAME I was trying to play whether I noticed it or not. They had to be there on the playing field and saw what a putz I was. Then they decided I might want to boost my game enough to pay them money.
    So - keep the pressure on!

    I'd like to point out that the names turning blue isn't gone. About 3 weeks ago I tried to help a flipped STRV/UDES back on his tracks but it counted as if I was the one that killed him and my name turned blue.
    The system as a whole certainly is much less used though and my name wasn't blue anymore in the following battle, it used to last for 3 to 5 battles before, didn't it?

    • @jgold2813
      @jgold2813 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      turning blue to you does not mean your always blue to your team mates >>> did you get team killed after you turned blue ? in the old days it would turn you blue to you as much as 8 or more games but your not blue to team mates but 1 shot on team mate after you started the game as blue to you would turn you blue i have turned blue a few times after the change and only 1 time was i blue to teammates was playing arty and splashed green players or the player
      just drove it to the shots i think it was 3 or 4 times in the same game did not take 1hp off any but turned blue and was team killed

    but never answer my questions on what they are doing and why nothing
    is ever done when players file a complaint for cheaters and other player

    I have to admit 1,008 battles with zero damage done is compelling evidence for two things: 1. There is game rigging. 2. WG is (at the very least) complicit by omission in that game rigging.

  • @davidstancomb5380

    The problem is that if you call out corruption in the in-game chat, it gets you a 30 day chat ban from the WG mods. They are complicit.

  • @buju357
    @buju357 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Ive been playing this game since inception as well. when these missions came out every one of my friends and clan mates where very exited , because now we actually had a chance to get a nice tank by just completing missions . Now we are all just regular shmo's , and to our surprise the missions just got harder and harder to the point that the regular player can not complete them and therefor we found it was impossible to obtain these tanks. now WG has dangled a carrot in front of regular players that is unobtainable for most of them. So the players that are prepared to pay boosting companies to get the tanks for them will pay them. So in reality only the VERY good players will get these overpower tanks and these are players with high win rates , so when me and my mates are in platoon and we see one of these OP tanks on the other team , our expectations of winning that game drop dramatically to the point that we just play so badly , go out and get killed , just so we can move on to another game where we have a realistic chance. yes I know , life is not fair , wot is not fair , but I have to hand it to these boosting companies , they found a niche to make money from a pixel game , just like WG did. so in part I think some of the blame should go to WG for introducing unrealistic expectations from players like the 279E that 95% of players will not be able to obtain.

    I recognize one name. I met that The Object 140 account "Ignak_is_kozak" some time ago. It was shortly after Claus started posting videos of cheats. I then started paying attention to plattons which do not shoot or move at all.
    In one of my games all players in a cheating platoon had "_is_Kozak" in their names. I even sent a replay to WG.

    I am pretty sure I submitted a ticket to support in 2014 about a boosting company posting ads in game chat.

All his doubloons were spent on tier 2 tank premium ammo.

    The single biggest grudge against you from the NA server is that "none" of your vids have come from the NA server, and that you yourself have never caught one case of rigging. They also insist that rigging MOE does not statistically raise the bar for other players trying to MOE via honest play. How do you respond to all that ?

It's bad enough that WG wants to change our crew training when it was not something the player base was requesting, but to ignore the game rigging cheaters just illustrates it's focus is on the dollar.

    During Christmas I played with a boosters, doing some MoE. I had 2 battles AFK (internet connection problem), the 3rd battle that day and I got a warning from WG: In order of another afk battle i will get a penalty - ban 1 or more days... So I guess justice and WG are blind.

Normally I would not care but when you have teammates on your team doing NOTHING, it adversely affects the rest of the team. Since they so brazenly advertise, WG is either ignorant or knows and does nothing about it and takes their money and happily looks the other way. Shameful either way. Thank you for calling this out.
