No. I think Valve should be more human, but not with people who manage to come up with creative stories, but with people that encounter problems, and, i mean, Rust got EAC as internal anticheat, if someone disables it there's still VAC, and my infraction was only one, not two, neither three, no cheats, just a bypass, then why, since it uses IDS, which make a cheat detectable or not, couldn't they check if there was effectively a cheating experience rather than just a standard experience with a modded file? I know, it may be forbidden, but if you're not doing anything with it, why the banhammer speaks? I just wanted to build.. I got killed so many times in a week, and didn't even answered to the fire with the fire, just wandered in the map searching for materials..
Oh yeah by the way you want your money back? think again. [quote=Valve]C. Termination by Valve Valve may cancel your Account or any particular Subscription(s) at any time in the event that (a) Valve ceases providing such Subscriptions to similarly situated Subscribers generally, or (b) you breach any terms of this Agreement (including any Subscription Terms or Rules of Use). [b]In the event that your Account or a particular Subscription is terminated or cancelled by Valve [u]for a violation of this Agreement or improper or illegal activity, no refund, including of any Subscription fees or of any unused funds in your Steam Wallet, will be granted.[/u][/b][/quote] [url]http://store.steampowered.com/subscriber_agreement/[/url] If you want a refund you have better chance of getting struck by lightning, suck it up, quit using Steam or buy it again, you pressed agree to this, so refund is not gonna' happen. You signed up for this, by simply pressing "I agree"

First you want a refund. Subscription agreement says you can't. Second now pinning it to someone else Third now demanding Valve to be more human, which they already are Human, just like me and you.
hippowombat, if your family was starving, and you needed to give them something to eat, would you break the law for it? Maybe you pay for your crime, sure, but it's not the same as an omicide. That's what i mean. Impartial? Not at all. Always permanent? Right, so if you replace you get permabanned, and if you effectively cheat you get permabanned anyway. This isn't my concept of just.

You even agreed to the rules when signing up for Steam. It all started with you agreeing to a list of rules you ignored, you knew the consequences, and now you are complaining, you don't deserve to criticize rules you just broke.
That's what i expect from something i paid for. For example: VAC scans, 1 infraction, name of the file replaced or modified, name of the modify, it get printed onto a txt and it passes from it to a person, which reads it and determines the ban, and the duration of it, the ban will apply in a week or so, since that's what actually happens with bans about the time it takes to be effective. That's what is a perfect ban system. Not a machine that can't determine what's up.

i complain about the unequality of the ban. that's impartial, but it's not something i can trust, imho. Why the hell should i trust a system that doesn't distinct between the one who does errors and fixes them and the one who takes advantage of them?

See, part of the reason why they don't tell you what triggered VAC is to give people who write "hacks" less time to update it to not be detected. VAC would be useless otherwise as they'd be able to stay ahead of it.
They have a whole team but the team isn't for false bans. The team is just made up to check up the database and insert new known cheats on it. That's what happens, nobody checks the bans it does, everybody checks the db. Nothing gets printed in a screen and checked about bans. The machines that are dedicated to VAC are simple servers. Not Mainframes and not even PC, just servers with ftp access and with no save system about the cause of the ban, you get banned, and that's what they see.

However, it doesn't change the fact that you ignored the warnings from VAC (or rather didn't look up the consequences). What you had was the gateway to begin ruining other users' experiences, or a bypass. It's like having a meth lab with no actual meth in it; why even have one? It just makes you look suspicious and obviously isn't a good idea. Bottom line is, you naively modified internal game files knowing to yourself that you weren't planning to do wrong, but you didn't read the rules regarding that. That's no ones fault but your own and you're going to have to deal with it.
[QUOTE=Enterpriser;44670665]Why the hell should i trust a system that doesn't distinct between the one who does errors and fixes them and the one who takes advantage of them?[/QUOTE] Because it's the responsibility of the user to not, "do errors," in the first place.
Lmao I love the part where you took a picture of your folder to prove that you weren't cheating. That's like taking a picture of your empty drawer for the police to show them that you don't own a gun.

[QUOTE=Enterpriser;44670382]I hoped at least in a human response, not a botlike one. Which is what the support forgets most of the time. Always that schedule, always. "Sorry, we can't answer you anymore" That's what you get when you ask them to be human. Does it seem just?[/QUOTE] Dood, when they send the copy paste message, that means they checked over your case and you were actually modifying the game or cheating. They don't tell you anything so it's harder for hack makers to make VAC proof hacks

Lovely, Thanks for the read guys! Gotta love it!
Gold.. This IS gold haha
Thank you OP, it was a good read. My favorite part was how you admitted to breaking several additional rules of the ToS, and turning this standard "hacker gets busted" thread into a "hacker gets busted, while bypassing the anti cheat, and also sharing accounts with friends" and then claiming that you did it to help your starving family, somehow.
