I'm begging game creators to add some kind of mods/cheats free zone !!!
There are a lot of people who wants to play with their own skills !!!
What is purpose of playing with mods...."autoaim", "autoshoot", "laser aiming", "see through walls/mountains"....It is pointless to play world of tanks if all use cheats !!
This message is targeting admins, programmers, developers etc. Of world of tanks.
So, can you do it?
Starting a thread on the forum might get an official reply but its more likely in say one of the WG threads asking for comments and suggestions/
I want to play with my own skills poor though they are and I also want to use mods but not cheats.
The game itself has been modded first by someone coming up with a mod and it becoming so popular and usefull that the game developers add it to the game,
This is all to the good of the game mods attract players and the ability to customise the game experience with a mod keeps players interested in the game.
If the mod does not give the player an advantage over others then its not really a problem and certainly not a cheat.
Cheat mods illegal mods or whatever you call them are few in number and there really isn't any way for someone in the game to know when one is used.
You cannot see a cheat mod while playing and you cannot prove it by watching someones replay because it uses your "mod free" client to play it.
The "cheater" would have to upload an actual video of them playing with the cheat enabled and they are very unlikely to do that.
Wargaming probably have ways to detect their use and do purges occasionally where they ban players for using illegal mods.
I suspect the actual number of players that use cheats is very small and I may not have met any of them in battle.
I will leave it to WG to monitor the situation and deal with it, not wasting my time bothering about something I that isnt very important.
As for a mod free zone tricky to make happen and probably not in WGs interest, modders are an unpaid bunch of talented people creating free content .
Its worth it to let them continue and just weed out those that go to far.
Of those you mention autoaim is part of the game I assume you mean the supposed aimbot that targets tanks even unspotted one yes its a cheat and they bad people for using it.
Autoshoot again not clear so ill assume this is part of the whole aimbot thing where the mod selects the tank locks on and aims for a weak spot. Player still has to fire a mod that does all that is an AI bot where the player doesnt even have to do anything.
WG uses ai bots in parts of the game.
There is/was a mod that showed a lazer line coming from all tanks in play if the line crossed your tank you were able to take avoiding action hide angle the tank and fire back along that line.
Not seen it mentioned for some time but there were videos, its illegal and probably not very common.
Mods that remove terrain these are mentioned by wargaming as cheats and you get banned for using them
So WG are attempting to create a cheat free area just not a mod free one.
