In Tree of Savior, nearly 3,000 accounts were banned – even before the game’s release.
Almost 1400 bots and 1600 exploiters banned
Tree of Savior is currently in Early Access on Steam, but the operator IMC Games is already taking strong action against cheaters. 1,394 bot users can say goodbye to their accounts – they have been permanently banned. The same fate befell 1,678 players who exploited and manipulated the game’s client to gain unfair advantages.
As part of this step, the purchase of one of the founder packs has been blocked – and the price for the other founder packs has been “reset,” meaning it has been raised back to its normal value. Previously, the price had been lowered by 30% to compensate for the reduced time left in Early Access.
Interesting to note: In Tree of Savior, the reports of all players are not equally valued. The game calculates a “Report Influence Index” (RII) for each player. This value is determined by how “influential” a player is – but what exactly it consists of is not known. The higher this value, the “more important” the report from this player is, and, according to the developers, the more likely it is that the report is justified.
For instance, a player with an RII of 10 has a report that is worth the same as that of 10 players, each with an RII of 1. However, the final decision on a sanction is examined individually on a case-by-case basis – this system only determines which cases will be addressed first.
