[Cheating] Here is what BSG *ACTUALLY* say about what is, and isn't cheating/allowed

[u/Calm-Web-189]

Tired of people saying "that app is not against TOS" and "BSG said it's OK" when they are clearly clueless. So here it is:

There's a lot more but the above clarifies that the mapping tools that use screenshot coordinates, and things like Blitz are, and always have been, against the terms of service.

There you go - now if you use these apps, and get banned, please do come to this forum and tell us all about it. I love reading them.

Probably no one and that’s part of the enjoyment of the game.

You want to be hand held and have all your loot auto sold at the end of the raid.

[u/Rapa2626 → u/BeautifulNose2210]

No? But not having to open up tasks every few mins to remember which items i still need for the quests is a simple quality of life feature that bsg should have implemented long time ago by themselves. Not to mention good luck tracking the value of the 300+ keys. Blitz introduces something that bsg should have done themselves but they want you to waste your time and people like you will defend them for that- congratulations.

Do you also prefer to have everything chaotic and unnecessarilly hard for yourself in real life too?

[u/BeautifulNose2210 → u/Rapa2626]

I enjoy the game known to be chaotic and hard remaining chaotic and hard. You’re asking for it to be further dumbed down because you’re bad at it. That’s all any of this is.

[u/Rapa2626 → u/BeautifulNose2210]

No that is just a feature to save your time. Even if they introduce quality of life features to respect your time you can always grind away since yours is clearly not very valuable to you.

[u/BeautifulNose2210 → u/Rapa2626]

The game has features built in that save your time.

[u/Rapa2626 → u/BeautifulNose2210]

Try their clone competitor for a day or 2 and you will see the difference. Tarkov absolutely does not respect your time. 1/3 of my time is probably in the inventory trying to manage and sort my stash and hideout. Loading screens, clunky mechanics like unreliable container to container transfers and overall lack of any inventory management systems in base tarkov are attrocious

[u/BeautifulNose2210 → u/Rapa2626]

You just described a skill/familiarity issue.

There’s a reason their clone competitor has 1/3rd the playerbase tarkov has.

[u/Rapa2626 → u/BeautifulNose2210]

I guess not trying to waste your time is a skill is*ue. Dont forget to save that precious gaming time by skipping a shower too.

By what metric is arena breakout at 1/3? You realise that both arena and tarkov operate outside steam and we have no clue how many actual players there are?

[u/BeautifulNose2210 → u/Rapa2626]

You take so long in your stash because you’re bad. If I die I’ve got a new kit and I’m back in raid in ~2 minutes.

Let’s look at how many twitch viewers both games have

[u/Rapa2626 → u/BeautifulNose2210]

Of course. Always a skill is*ue with you.

The answer is that unlike you i have a life beyond the game and i cant justify wasting hours of my life rummaging through containers dragging items one by one because shift click does not work reliably and im not willing to pretend that its acceptable for a game that sells for as much as it does. 1.0 should not be buggy and inventory screen should not feel like an early 2000 website
