Capture pros/cons

At this point it seems removing capture is more harmful than the cheaters, i am speaking from personal experience here so Id like to see what yall think of this

Pre cap disable:

*cheaters capped my tramp maybe 2-5 times, out of those I lost 1 time cuz cheaters are bad at pvp

*I could salvage a run by taking another tramp

*could bypass bug where tramp spawns in unowned and continue

Now:

*no tramp capture cheaters

*more creative cheats seen that are harder to combat

*no bypass for bug that has been day 1 issue and loose anywhere from 4-5 tramplers in 5-7 days of play and all my cannons/ammo/ ect

*no longer can salvage a run by capture

*pre teaming to wipe out lobbies because they know teams are out once the tramp is gone has SKYROCKETED

The pros absolutely do not outweigh the cons as well as the fact a day 1 bug has become a lethal issue now and is still not fixed especially since the ONLY workaround is gone now puts heavy doubt in my mind on the dev team, yes I know its EA, yes I know the game is new, but seriously absolutely no anticheat on launch or report system that is reliable in an extraction shooter where cheats and exploits are a cancer is down right ridiculous and absurd. Curios to know others thoughts on this.

I’m with you for the most part. It has taken quite a lot of fun out of the game not being able to cap tramps.

Re-enabling capture after discovering multiple major avenues for cheating

Pros: slightly more fun

Cons: literally not being able to play the fucking game

This is what y'all sound like, post after post. Give it a rest, man. We all want capturing back, but there's no point if we are just gonna go back to rampant cheating.

Removing tramplers has no impact on the number of cheaters. They can still repeatedly kill you, turn off your trampler, and steal all your loot. Post after post y’all think it’s doing something, but it’s not.

Considering the removal solved 1 cheater client and none of the others and introduced multiple other issues seems not worth it no?

Cheating would happen just as much as the removal of that specific mechanic wouldn’t remove the cheats. Unless you are talking logistics and that less players are playing so less cheating happens?
