There is absolutely no chance they accidentally stumbled across a bunch of inactive tanks. They were usually the first to get to the spawn, didn't deviate from going to the spawn, and even passed active enemies to go to the spawns.

[@Evro_X]

As a player who played thousands of battles in late night/early morning hours due to my working hours, this matchmaking is clearly rigged. This does not happen on any of the EU servers, even between 2-6am -_- Of course there will be situations with one, two, even three afks in the middle of the night, but never majority of the team. WG should just permaban every account that was involved in those games. There are literally dozens of 3rd party boosting websites that provides rigging games like this so they can sell easy 3 marks, campaign missions and stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if it was involving some sort of illegal mods to abuse the matchmaker to get so many botted accounts into one game with their "customer". I don't understand one thing. This game is SO old, and WG still didn't figured out a system to simply check all 10k+ damage games that happen if they are legit or not, just by filtering them by movements of the tanks. Nowadays majority of 10k games happen during rigged games, because thats the easiest way to boost someone to 3rd mark quickly.

[@gregangwin4714]

they simply dont care.

[@Slindi81]

WG can stop cheating in World of Tanks but they don't want to. As I have explained earlier, I used to report a lot of bots, I sent replays to WG's customer support, I used the in-game reporting system and nothing happened. I reported 44% WR tomato driving Obj.279e with 46% WR and WG didn't see anything wrong with that. Sure, the most difficult missions can be done by someone with 44% average wins, although with the Obj.279e they couldn't even find the left mouse button to fire. WG does not care and anyone playing the game with these bots and cheaters is a fool.

[@pointyheadYT]

Overall winrate can be pretty deceiving. I know players who are usually really good at the game, occasionally decide to jump into their T8 premium lights and just run them into the enemy all day to farm credits. Similarly, I've seen players with 3 marks of excellence, some 10k games on a tank, just stand in one spot and not do anything the entire game. Maybe they're just having a bad day.

[@juanzulu1318]

While I agree tjat a 46% plaer in a obj279e looks strange it is not enough to prove his cheating. To blame WG for this is not fair.

[@Slindi81]

@juanzulu1318 you are correct, this would require more investigation. I am pretty sure this guy used a service to get the tank so in his stats we would see sudden increase in damage and winrate until the missions were done.

Even told the guy to watch the replay himself because he refused to believe he knocked down trees, despite it happening.

Back in the days, blind shooting was expensive and you had to manage your amount of ammo kind of... but we did it. Even with arty. To counter arti was (is still) fun. I admit I blindshoot now much MUCH more often, there is a point in the game you don't care anymore about credits and ammo cost. Every (blind) shot not taken is possible less damage. It is more common now to check positons with a left click and on top you know positions, so you expect there someone.

I checked the replay twice just to be sure that those were not lucky blind shots, and it became obvious that he did in fact cheat. I filed a ticket with my replay attached and the next day just received an automated response that told me not to worry as their filtering system works just fine. The problem is that as a competitive game it only loses its very essence if they let these slide. Slippery slope that could get out of control if no reprehension shown.

Without a pre-game login check to look for illegal modes, cheating will always be present. The only way to seriously combat cheating is to have NO mod's and "checksum" each player as they log in. I have played online games in the past, where this was the system used and cheating was not an issue. When you left the game, you were logged right out of the system, not like WoT where you can leave the game, then rejoin 2 to 3 hrs later without having to log back in. Also, if you were AFK for more than 30 to 40 min they game system AUTOMATICALLY logged you off. These games also had "In Game Moderators" who could "kick" players from the game if their play was suspect, and their account suspended whilst their game play was investigated. Wargaming could easily instigate these sorts of protocols into WoT, WoWS, and WoWP to stop cheating, the fact they have not/will not do so puts them under the umbrella of suspicion as to how much they are actually involved in the supply of the illegal mod' packs to enable cheating to take place.

We have clans set up that are well known for it, Join, pay the money, and suddenly your stats get amazingly better. I don't know that any of them have been banned, I know their officers are still the same as they have been. Maybe they are smart enough to keep their main accounts out of it, but even so, if I know who they are, surely WG SHOULD know.

I had a number of games recently where I've been curb stomped, nothing new for me, but in them I was being blind fired while undetected and not even hiding in a bush. Not just once or twice but deliberately until destroyed and nobody was near me and no enemy light tanks, like an ELC, was camping close by. I watched at least 7 other tanks killed this way by the same two players. reported it to WG but I saw the same two players on my team the next day where they did it again to the other side. Again, reported it, but doubt anything came of it.

[@murielmecm5322]

Rigged the T-22 as soon as it was released, and WG never did anything to me... I'm not saying you guys should do the same(DON'T RISK IT) but, yeah, there is no consequences 😑

[@stefanosv9234]

in other news... water is wet...

[@karlnapf587]

I also wondered that no one was banned for manoever. In the past there were hundreds of bans

[@drxym]

It should be incredibly easy to spot cheaters in WG - diligence, forensics, cheat triggers etc. If people know that a consequence of cheating is losing EVERYTHING and there is a not small chance of being caught then they would be far less likely to do it.

[@Saryor]

Bravo Quicky, but I sincerely doubt that the hardened WG system will do anything. Maybe if we all report cheaters.

[@asdfjklol]

5:59 - Oh........ a "whole group of riggers."

[@IKerensky]

2:04 - Check the replay they actually cross the road of the 3 actives players on the ennemy side and nobody shooted as each other. That's COLLUSION !

[@animalyze7120]

WG isn't doing anything from my perspective, in fact they make things worse for the community by focusing only what new premiums they release to wreck the game with. There are mods currently being used that allow one to spot the enemy team from the start (I've tested this theory and when you remain unspotted one tank or 2 will routinely direct hit you even if you've waited then relocated. Soon as you go to take a shot you are instantly hit by the same players(s) yet never spotted. I tested this in game by being in a weird location rather than the obvious ones. Soon as you try to do anything that same player hits you while remaining cloaked.

[@captricharddee3634]

Most of the previous week I've had loss after loss. My team just camped at the back, kept getting hit without taken evasive actions, resulting in some not even causing any damage. They weren't bots and by the end of each game, their team had most of their players still in the game. I'm getting so frustrated that this continues to happen. As for Marks Of Excellence, it should be individual player based, not grouped. I'm an average player but new players just won't even get one mark.

[@christopherbarringer751]

I started playing WOT when there were only three nations, I'm a random player, over the years I had fun grinding my tanks, nowadays with all the modern tanks and power creep it's no longer fun for random players, three weeks ago I played and was bottom tier 70% of the time, when I was top tier, I was picked off by scout s across the map, I played 50 matches that night, 45 of them were a one sided massacre with me getting maybe a kill, the other 30% were victories that were one sided and the enemy was dead before I could fire a shot, after that I uninstalled the game, This game is not for random players, not anymore, it's now pay or play every single day of your life to win.

[@marcbjorg4823]

Considering that some use Delay Pedals where you can warp on demand with the push of a foot. It's totally invisible to hardware checkers. So... Online you will have cheaters.

[@jasonmariani1258]

Quick I’m FAR from a consistently avid tanker/player. What have you. 😊 anyhow I never ever ever consider cheating because that makes it NOT FUN. Not rewarding. No sense of accomplishment whatsoever, and it’s wrong. There are (sadly) many who do not share my PoV. I’m glad you got this out in the open though, I watch your vids on how to improve and so far knowing the spotting mechanics and map memory seem to be my fatal flaws. I wind up over advancing and poking my nose out too far…… to inhale 4 shots simultaneously and get wrecked instantly.. OR, I wander into no mans land far from allies trying to find a good vantage point and wind up with the same result. Then I log on my scout and bush hop to spot for the team and do well. Anyhow thx for doing what ya do you hell many of us daily

[@phasor4841]

No players were banned from top 2100 on NA server either. I submitted a Manoeuvers replay for illegal mod use in one particular instance and WG responded assuring me they are confident with the accuracy of their automated in-game detection systems. 🤔

[@crs1blue]

Ive never seen multiple afk tanks sat on a base in 8 years of playing. Wtf

[@kimpedersen8851]

I am still amazed by this is happening, my account was banned/locked for 5 years, eventhough I supplied every bank document and info releated I had, except from a former closed bank I couldn retrieve. Someone reported me for something unknown, never had I cheated anything. Why arent they banned for cheating like that I dont understand it!

[@cursed.5952]

The rabbit hole goes even deeper than that.. There are some crooked WG employees from which you can buy anything from the game.

[@benjamin_Salehi]

Wargaming is undoubtedly aware of all these incidents and simply aims to maintain the game server with a high number of players. Just imagine if the oversight or algorithms used for major events like campaigns were applied to random battles how many cheaters they would lose😂. Therefore, it is in Wargaming’s interest to leave them unchecked.😉

[@christiansincich7226]

Wargaming doesn’t care about players cheating like this, but when I call my teammates “noobs” once I get chat banned for a week… what the hell

[@mikirourke]

Spread the message QB, let them be banned.

[@micro7vista]

On the NA server there is LITERALLY a clan called HACK. Any so many of their players including their officers and even CLAN LEADER are known to rig games and WG does nothing about them.... It's so unreal QB...

[@TheMarkzon]

I stopped playing WoT years ago..my reaction to seeing this in my video list...quicky still makes WoT videos?!

[@naglisdargis4038]

wargaming is gonna make a premium matchmaking for cash so u dont get cheaters, honestly what a joke

[@Grumpyoldman782]

in Russia you can cheat as we have seen for decades in all sporting events but call a player out for being a bellend and you get a weeks ban

[@petergaardsted5590]

WG is in on it !

[@Nightfox777]

Speechles how this is your second video and they didn't take any actions yet, its not that they don't know about it

[@hobbypriester2252]

Ohne unsere Aufregung würde WG gar nichts gegen die Cheater unternehmen. Fairplay ist für WG ein Fremdwort :)

[@sofazen]

Cheaters are the cancer of this game for all other players. Great research, analysis and conclusions as always QB

[@thehand5806]

I play CW on XB series X and cheating for marks is happening here. The Engesa EE-T1 Osório P2 was about 2 weeks old and there are 3 people with at least 2 marks.

[@Bojser]

Yes and I had string of games in last 3 days where my service record went down for 12 points......

[@Xplorer60]

in 11 years I have yet to hit 10k, much less 7k. A good battle for me is over 4k. It's obvious that WoT doesn't care what goes on, as long as the $$ keep rolling in and they aren't called out on this cheating. Keep their hands to the fire QuickyBaby, good video.

[@ciaranartorias264]

I think th big thing is not immediately banning them, so they dont know how much they can get away with, and instead getting caught in a ban wave. Obfuscation n such.

[@joshsummers7933]

Looks like there were 6 people that probably each operated another 4 bot accounts and joined the games at the same time.
