In a move to maintain fair play, The First Descendant developers have shared outcomes from their latest enforcement actions against rule-breakers.
Permanent Bans and Restrictions Issued
Keeping the game enjoyable for everyone, Nexon Games recently targeted players using unauthorized tools and exploiting systems. This initiative resulted in severe penalties to deter cheating and ensure a level playing field.
What Violations Were Addressed?
The enforcement focused on several key issues that disrupt gameplay integrity. Here's a breakdown of the actions taken:
- Unauthorized Programs: 16 players received permanent bans for creating, distributing, or using cheating software. This crackdown aims to protect the competitive spirit of co-op battles and boss fights.
- Open Store Exploitation: 14 users were permanently banned for manipulating the payment process, which could unfairly advantage them in acquiring gear and items.
- Unusual Gameplay Activity: One player got a 30-day access restriction, while 502 others faced a 3-day matchmaking penalty. These measures address suspicious behaviors that might indicate exploits or disruptions.
As a player myself, it's refreshing to see devs taking swift action—nothing ruins a intense raid faster than cheaters. This could lead to smoother matches and more trust in the community.
