"Game Ban" as a result of a hacker... - Rust

I received a game ban as a result of 2 hackers on Facepunch New York. All night a hacker by the name of Kangaroo Jack and SETH were flying around killing people after I posted in the general chat in game asking other players to help report the cheaters they both changed their account names to my name in an attempt to get me banned. Which was successful on their part. The hacker landed on top of my base bragging about the fact that he was going to get me banned. And after changing his name to mine told he told everyone in game to report my name. At which time I changed my name multiple times to try and throw the hackers off and they kept changing their name to my name and then killing everyone and numerous people in general chat saying to falsely report me. I begged everyone in chat explaining the fact that it was not me hacking and that they stole my name. Banned by Game Developer (Game Ban) - This is what it said the next day. Ronald Blumsky - this was the last game name I had before getting banned. This user has also played as: Ronald Blumsky F-hackers... $)*$#()@ *****IDSETH-HACKER PlzStopRustHackers Hackname is SETH Donald Trumpsky ^These are all of the names I tried to switch to throw the hackers off. And they kept changing their game ID's as I did... If you look through the twitter ban last they banned this hacker: *****IDSETH-HACKER But if you look at the name he used all of my account names to get me falsely reported. I also explained in the "F7 report" function that he was hijacking every account name I made to try and get me reported. This is a major flaw in the report system. It is not fair that I lost function of the game as a result of a hacker taking my name. I do believe this has happened before to others and needs to be brought to someones attention. I have read multiple counts of false bans. Also the fact that there is no explanation in the slightest as to why I was banned is just plain wrong.

I don't think they ban people for being reported, i think they only ban on detection of hacks. Even if you weren't using yours, I assume you got caught.

[QUOTE=Borken Xae;49655925]I don't think they ban people for being reported, i think they only ban on detection of hacks.

I had been playing for around a month with over 200 hours played at least. then after the hackers steal my account name and get me falsely reported I'm banned the next day for hacks??? you've got to be fucking kidding me if you believe that in the slightest.

I have gazed into the future, soon there will be talk about a paid cheat.

[QUOTE=Cyraxis;49655941]Did you not read the OP?[/QUOTE] EAC would be pretty incompetent if they banned based on steam display name instead of steamid.... Just wait and see.

Impossible to check without SteamID64

Not trying to join the lynch mob, but its been a LONG time since someone tried to claim that they got banned because they had the same display name as a cheater.

Recent Activity 166.1 hours past 2 weeks that was the amount of time I played before they jacked my account name and got me falsely reported. [editline]2nd February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=eac_SMa;49655998]Impossible to check without SteamID64[/QUOTE] I'm having trouble locating this steamID # your talking about? I checked under profile where exactly is it located?

[url]https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198277118594/[/url] I think this is it? I made it public. I changed it to private at the time the hackers kept changing their name to mine. I'm assuming they could keep seeing my name while I was inside of my base... I also added the picture during the time the hackers kept switching the name to mine so I could explain to everyone in general chat what they were doing and made it so my picture was different from their picture.. I guess this is my punishment for reporting a hacker in general chat to try and warn others and ask for help..

So what now what do I do? I shouldn't be punished for a broken report system.. this is such bullshit I tried to do the right thing for myself as well as the other players in the game..

[QUOTE=Cyraxis;49656068]So what now what do I do? I shouldn't be punished for a broken report system.. this is such bullshit I tried to do the right thing for myself as well as the other players in the game..[/QUOTE] Wait for EAC to check your claim.

[QUOTE=NilsMcTip;49656069]Wait for EAC to check your claim.[/QUOTE] where do I make a claim at? [editline]2nd February 2016[/editline] We've confirmed that your account donaldtrumpsky has been in-game banned in Rust.

[QUOTE=Cyraxis;49656079]where do I make a claim at?[/QUOTE] eac_SMa stated that it was impossible to check without a steamid a bit further up in the thread. You've already posted it, just give it time and he'll surely reply here.

I was unaware this is where issues of that type get resolved I tried to use steam support which couldn't help me. Also I had never changed my account name at all until that night the hackers were doing this. And after I looked up their accounts they both had less than 10 hours play time on them. And when the hacker was on my roof I told him "Enjoy the ban buddy I reported you." he simply stated "you think i give a fuck you can buy this game for $4 in Russia" He then went on to explaining that he changed his name 11 times and that it made it not show up in the report system..

I'm just a little disappointed I guess. I was really starting to get into this game. My friends introduced it to me. They warned me about the amount of hackers but I didn't expect this to happen..

They warned me about the hackers, but I never suspected that I WOULD BE ONE TOO

[QUOTE=garry;49656817]They warned me about the hackers, but I never suspected that I WOULD BE ONE TOO[/QUOTE] I wonder how many people have been scammed out of their money with this same bullshit excuse? Way to fail at stopping cheaters.

Anticheat ban's aren't done 100% off a report. EAC bans are done when a rust cheat is detected running while you're playing rust.

It was not an EAC ban it was a game ban. There was no excuse behind it. This was a direct result of hackers changing their name to my name and false "F7 REPORTS" its a bullshit excuse for an anti cheat system they implemented because clearly they have no way to stop the hackers.

I know for a fact it was the result of these 2 hackers changing their name to mine. There is no other excuse no 3rd party program of any type on my computer in the slightest. This is blatant abuse by the makers in order to make money. I wouldn't doubt if they were working with these hackers.

[/QUOTE] You can keep saying that if you want, but that won't change the fact EAC doesn't work that way.

[QUOTE=Cyraxis;49657954]And you can keep cock riding garry but the point is it did work this way and clearly they dont care enough about their own game to fix it.[/QUOTE] I'm not cockriding garry lol, I'm just telling you how EAC works. I'm not even saying it's 100% sure that you hacked or whatever. I'm sorry if you don't like hearing something that contradicts your story but that's still how it is. Regardless tho, EAC reads this forum and since you've finally posted your steam ID, I'm sure one of them will show up eventually to check it for you. [editline]2nd February 2016[/editline] or well I guess you'll have to wait a bit since you're flipping out in other threads now lol.

Your account is brand new with only Rust as a purchase. This in of itself raises a red flag, but does not mean for certain that you are a cheater - just that it fits their general M.O.

Usually, in this forum, there is an explanation for the ban accompanying the name of the mod who did the banning in the post that was consider the reason for the ban. Why was this guy banned? I am curious. [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1504153[/url] [QUOTE=Cyraxis;49653780]I got my last account banned as a result of a hacker changing his name to my name after asking he be reported in general chat. Long story short don't play on official servers and if you get killed by a hacker don't ask for support in getting the hacker banned as it will result in them changing their name to yours and getting you banned. Also if you changed your name 11 times it no longer shows up in the "F7 Report" list. So technically the whole system is fucked and will take them a year to figure it out and then another year to fix it..[/QUOTE] I believe this is his only post that can be consider as "flipping out in other posts", but he gives usefull information (if true) about the "F7 report". Was this post the reason of the ban?

I didn't ban him here, but what he said wasn't remotely true.
