This game’s longevity in the PVP community is quite fragile. Populated PVP community servers have overzealous admins or massive rulebooks that is impossible to follow or otherwise change the game too much.
This leaves Official PVP servers as the final bastion to play Conan Exiles how it was meant to be played. After a week of playing I’ve witnessed dozens of cheaters, many of them repeat offenders, who don’t get banned for awhile (since you have to file a Zendesk ticket with footage then wait until the admin team gets to it). By the time they get banned they can just summon 30-50 gods and wipe a server which happens once in awhile. There are threads about it every 3-4 months for each official it seems.
Not to mention when there is an active cheater you don’t really wanna do anything because then you just get killed and lose your gear. Even the cheaters know each other by name.
I really want to be excited for Sorcery but unless the cheaters get nuked or quicker response times to banning them I don’t see how it will change anything for PVP players and servers. If anything there will be an influx of returning players who rejoin official pvp servers and become severely disappointed when a cheater kills them and everyone else is like “meh, thats conan”.
