Or are these people liars?
I see so many threads on here about how they were incorrectly banned because their dog ate their homework or whatever but does it actually happen? No anti-hack software is foolproof, so it's not completely and totally unbelievable, but can someone actually give me on instance where someone was without question falsely banned?
From the bunch of threads Ive seen, devs reply every now and then with proof of them having downloaded the cheats.
They might not have used it (unlikely), but they still downloaded it, the anti-cheat detected it, and voila. Banhammer.
I personally dont fucking care if they used it or not. If they downloaded it, they were most likely willing to use it sooner rather than later. And cheaters, well, I wouldnt give a flying fuck if they fell off a cliff. The world would be better without them.
I have more sympaty for a robber, who propably has a really shitty background. And Ive been robbed mind you.
The only other reason you might wanna download cheats, is for educational purposes to develop some kind of anti-cheat. And if you do that and have your main account up while not being sanctioned by valve or facepunch, you're just fucking stupid and should accept your mistake, buy a new copy of the game after cleaning your computer, and shut up about it.
So yes, people are liars.
To my knowledge with regards to Rust there have been 3 or 4 instances of actual, legitimate false positive bans effecting a few dozen to a few hundred people. All back around when EAC was a new addition to Rust, pretty much all due to EAC initially not whitelisting foreign language versions of required drivers/files. They publicly apologized for each incident and the afflicted accounts were restored over the span of a week or so each time.
As I've said many times, it DOES happen, but in reality is incredibly uncommon.
As to why "false positive" is used so often, I can only guess that the people claiming such are doing so in hopes that their word is taken for. Hence why when told "no", they get aggressive, try to claim the ban was racially motivated, claim that FP bans to force people to re buy the game and other assorted "fun".
