Hey there Steemers!
Another PUBG post from your boy Kvalt.
As I have spoke about before PUBG has broken records left and right in 2017 and continues to crash player statistics in every category going into 2018. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds suffers one vital issue...cheaters. Brenden Greene (Player Unknown) and Bluehole (PUBG's developers) have continued to fight the horrible cheating problem that is driving players away. Approximately 90% of the cheat developers come out of China and PUBG has not yet implemented a region/ping locking system preventing these players from playing on North American and European servers. These cheaters continue to infiltrate the game and take the competitive spirit out of the game.
Here is an example of a player that has been on the top 10 leaderboards for the last 3 seasons that still has not yet been permanently banned. His PUBG tags are An1hony and An1honysch and he creates new steam accounts once his account becomes banned. He is consistently in the top 10 of the leaderboards and it takes Bluehole months to resolve this issue.
Players with ridiculous statistics like these two shown in the picture continue to thrive on the highly sought out positions on the leaderboards. Being a top 10 player myself, I can tell you how frustrating it is to grind for these spots only to be passed by players with inhuman statistics. For those of you who aren't familiar with the game a profession players "Kill/Death ratio" is around 5.00. These two are well above 20 which just isn't humanly possible.
If Bluehole doesn't get a grip on their enormous cheating problem PUBG's success can quickly come to an end once a Triple A title gets a Battle Royale in the works. I'm hoping to raise some awareness with this post with other PUBG players so we can fight this problem as a community. As PUBG crushes records expectations are high for this game. Let's hope it doesn't crash and burn because of this problem.
I can understand when hackers can sit around sub top-tier levels and not get banned because there's so many of them, but it's total ass if they can be aimbotting and shit on leaderboards.
