The rules not respected would be:
-
7.1. Inactivity in the battle, avoiding afk detection and avoiding to perform any objective oriented actions.
-
7.3. Use of exploits in game mechanics to gain a personal benefit or an unfair advantage.
-
7.5. Coordination with opponent team in order to predetermine the match outcome in advance (match-fixing).
-
7.6. Use of any 3rd party means of automation (bots, macrosses, etc ), that allow to accomplish actions in a game without intervention from a player.
7.1 - this rule is one that is abused under the current matchmaker. reporting of this abuse will be the same under both custom battle with rewards or with the current queue system.
7.3 - this rule is iffy, as even under the current system, pilots build their ships around these abusable mechanics, I.E tharga strafe
7.5 - this rule is currently able to be abused under the current system thanks to the low use of squads and the ability to choose which team you’ll be on by queueing at the same time as your fellow abuser’s squad, increasing victory chances of fixed matches in a queue based system while going undetected.
In a custom room based setting, this abuse would be far more noticeable and would recieve adequite punishment.
7.6 - this abuse happens anyways.
in rooms it will become more noticeable and the reporting of these users will become more often seen. someone seeing it once won’t think much of it, seeing it more often from the same person in the same room is much more noticeable.
overall, abuse will happen less, not more, when compared to the queue based system, in custom rooms provided the proper measures are taken by the devs and the rules are supported by the playerbase’ majority or even an active minority.
Reports of abuse will not increase because of an increase of abusers. Reports of abuse will increase because that abuse will become far more noticeable. these reports will decrease over time as the abusers will abuse less and less until they can abuse no longer.
also, freezing an account is more effective, freeze 1 day first warning, 1 week second, 1 month third, 6 months 4th, 1 year 5th. on the 6th, ban the account. this would be disputable to account for accounts that are wrongfully accused and would provide an adequate deterrent to be used alongside other methods, not just this one. also, if implemented, try to make it troll proof, and upon the freezing of an account, upon that pilot trying to log in a message will pop alongside the reason of why their account is frozen alongside a link to dispute the claim if they wish. an easy way to ensure that the claim is actually true, a moderator may look back at the match itself to check stats, or even a recording, if the devs decide to have a recording of each match in place to improve the quality of which accounts are really frozen. among other methods of cross checking claims against other pilots, something that will reduce trolls or inexperienced/uninformed pilots improperly accusing vets and other pilots alike.
