So obviously your Official servers are packed with hackers and you refuse to do much, but at least let us see their name and steam ID at all times to report accounts to steam.

by design, if you canāt report a hacker, then there is no hack to report.

I think you hit the nail on the head.
Isnāt the player list hiding something private servers can choose to switch on and off? I could be wrong but if it is a toggle, thatās just yet another reason to move to private.
The other issue is alts - people who are abusing family share and using those alts and a degree of anonymity to cheat/exploit. Iāve seen so, so much of this over the months that I wish theyād just disable family share once and for all - at least on the PvP servers.

As usual, if you suspect hacking or ācheatingā, you need to submit a report through appropriate channels and provide evidence. Knowing their names does not matter as this information is still available to Funcom even though itās hidden from players.

Family Share is a Steam feature. It canāt be ājust disabled on PvP servers onlyā. It can only be turned on/off for the whole game, which means all servers and singleplayer/coop.

I believe they said back when the whole family share debacle happened that theyād start punishing the root account for misdeeds committed via family-shared accounts. Assuming that is actually happening now (and I donāt know how to verify that either way), I donāt see any point in disabling a feature that many people use for entirely legitimate and non-exploitatory activities.

So much misunderstanding in this post. So much xenofobia (the fear of diversity, or in this case fear of different play styles). There are no hacks, there is a badly optimized, badly designed, badly playtested game. If you find an exploit youāre going to use it, thereās nothing about it, and those who claim to be the white knights in shiny armor, claiming they would never use exploits but eats murdered corpses of animals in real life without even thinking over their own hypocrisy is astounding.

TBH, accounts with game bans shouldnāt be allowed to share the game(s) they are banned in via Family Share.
If the account has a full VAC ban, well, no sharing at all.
But thatās a thing the Steam platform developers, aka Valve Software, have to decide.

100% agreed. I donāt think they are able to share after a ban, though? But do correct me if Iām wrong! I am basing my āitās fine, leave it aloneā argument around some assumptions, this being principal among them.
Also agreed. Naturally.
Yes I suppose it is. I am not actually sure how the process around bans work, it has not been my area of expertise or (frankly) interest. Iāve always been more interested in making things work than in handling those that inevitably break them - a somewhat privileged position to take, to be sure.
As I understand it, making sure any bans issued ātravel up the chainā from a share account to the ārootā account (as it were) is a thing the individual game companies handle, and something that Funcom hadnāt done in the past, but started doing after the Family Share happening (when they abruptly shut it off, only to reinstate it a week or so later). But full disclosure, I am speaking from vague memory and incomplete information here.
Hey there,
As some people in this thread can already confirm, weāve started adding a few extra tools to check on players who are using family share for less than ethical purposes, including circumventing previous bans. 
Weāll continue to reinforce that in a way our resources are capable of sustaining, keeping in mind that our focus is still on fixing the exploit rather than the exploiter, as the later it is proven to be quite impossible.

Good ,thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Not really given you edit or obstruct any and all attempts for the community to post information on this topic ā¦ for example most of the undermeshing starts in the volcano and enables players to climb their way all the way back into the rest of the map ā¦ now posting this will likely again be edited out ā¦
Every time you say out loud that you will be focused on the exploit not the exploiter you give permission for cheaters to do their work with no response from you. In fact I highly doubt anyone has seen you guys respond period to a cheater or exploit ā¦ I know I havenāt and I have you the entire āhow they did itā blow for blow and itās still unpatched.
Lip service??
Oh piss off, what a bloody stupid comment.
truth hurts.
Player list was voted no long ago. You didnt go through with it then. Now you removed the ability to see player list in game. Ok, did you know steam still tells us who is online lol
No hacks? I wonder if Ark-Human who made himself avatar size on official pvp servers and was able to just lay down on players bases and loot all through locked chest and vaults as well as had more then GODLY HP would agree with you when they finally banned him.
Now if you will excuse me Im going to slaughter this cow and cook him slowly as his small baby watches!
