That claim is just hubris on WG’s part. If it’s software, it can be hacked one way or another.

Just like Wargaming stated that it wasn’t possible to ‘hack’ the game – then came the cheat that allowed tracers to be coloured and shown for an extended length of time……

Not video — Just the same data stream that makes replays and just for the time of the incident. Since the max replay file size is about 1500 KB for a full length game then the data should be at maximum 100KB per minute.

Report system is a placebo. It does nothing except maybe bad words chatbans etc. It’s bunch of bullshit.

This comment is more clear than what SS posted:
“Each player has an informant ranking. This ranking decreases for making false complaints and increases for justified complaints. Should any complaints remain unprocessed, the ranking does not change. Players who accrue a very low score will be penalised.”

In other words this rank system works as follow:
If you make reports that are false, just because a somebody one shot you in your Maus, then that counts against you.
If you report somebody and nothing happens, because it cannot be proved without a replay (probably a large % of them), then your rank remains unchanged.
If you make a report that ends with WG penalizing the reported behavior, then your rank increases.

This system will penalize you if you make too many false reports.

Interesting article. I am one of the guys that do use the report function a lot. But the fact that I use unsportsmanlike (for suicide arty, base camping, telling enemy our team location and various other wrongdoings) as a report probably is in my detriment, as presumably few people get banned reported for unsportsmanlike so I have high miss ratio.

On the other hand about 60% of my reports are for insults and I hope I get a high ban ratio on those. Also the bot reports are mostly correct, although I report also people that don’t move for 2 minutes and then they come back from lunch and are actually not bots.

I might alter my behavior because of this article, thanks for sharing.

you realize how much data that would create?

I hope you’d report yourself every match if those report categories actually went in.
