This is an inadequate measure. I have several specific questions regarding this issue. I understand you cannot discuss specific accounts, but you can discuss specific enforcement measures. If you cannot, then your credibility is at stake. A. Do you plan to remove or investigate alt characters of players with impossible times from the leaderboards? B. Do you plan to remove or investigate alt accounts of said players? Several players have at least 3 accounts with 8+ characters each. C. Do you plan to flag these accounts as exploits="1" in the database to prevent entry in the event? A game ban is unnecessary, except for multiple accounts. The only reasonable solution is to prevent entry, otherwise they may still obtain rewards at a faster pace. D. Do you plan to remove or investigate players who obtained nearly impossible times under 1:50 within the first 1-2 days? Below 1:52 is not even skill. It's a fight against known glitches (like the ravine invisible wall), lag and rng. The probability required to obtain this score so early is nearly non-existent. Below 1:50 times would require hundreds of runs on average, and several days of practice. The top 40-50 players of week 1, above 1:47, were still alts of known exploiters. E. Do you plan to remove or investigate players with nearly impossible times using other methods of exploitation, which are not as obvious? It's impossible to list such methods here, as that is against terms of service. Requesting videos places an unreasonable burden on players, due to time constraints in producing such videos. My list of exploiters now stretches to over 50, each with additional alt characters and accounts. I sincerely hope you do not expect the players to perform these functions. Furthermore, if you do not take this action now, based on week 1 standings, they will simply abuse the inadequate measures you've outlined for them, which are - times above 1:47 will be considered legitimate, giving them another opportunity to abuse the system.
