Playing Trials of Osiris, trying to help someone go flawless and we get off to a good start (4-0 in our first game). [b]Then one of their teammates waves at us and suddenly we are all kicked.
[/b]
We checked their prior games and it looks like this group of players waits until their opponent (us) wins four rounds, then boots the entire lobby from the game, including themselves. They are effectively saying "we can't win so neither can you". I won't post a link to their accounts for obvious reasons, but I assure you we looked up their history and saw a pattern.
Sure, it's the first game and it's not that big of a deal, but this is still network manipulation and negatively impacts anyone on the receiving end.
[b]I don't want this to turn into a witch hunt or name shaming. Please do not message these players or attack anyone. We just want this unique kind of cheating brought to attention so it might be prevented. Stay cool, and thanks for watching.[/b]

Edited by Smough: 7/20/2016 8:18:10 PMIm not even scared to cheat in this game, unlike other games. It's so easy to get away with stuff. You can't be accused on the forums, the report system doesn't do shit, and the red bars in the game are so bad that you wouldn't be able to tell a difference between a hacker and somebody across the world in Walmart.
