It is a bad solution, because it doses nothing to stop the situation from happening in the 1st place, but it is better then absolutely nothing.
We do not know for sure what the devs motivation was as they did not tell us, all I know is the Hearsay that I was told, which fits, and the fact this function was requested by the player base aswell,
I do not think the X-ray situation was the only thing that motivated the atlas update to come out, but I do believe it is quite likely that the situation played a role of it coming out sooner then later.
Once again it is all Conjecture that is based on Hearsay. We simply do not know.
And they are not willing to do so, if Luca’s statement is to be taken as fact. Since it came from a dev, that is pretty solid proof of their intent.
In my book, things that read the games memory, and things designed to subvert the games network security should be banned, but based off of the devs actions, that is not going to happen.
And „Banning“ something is not good enough, going over the speed limit is banned, but people still do it. They would also have to spend time to try to figure out a way to prevent it (which they are not willing to do), Detect it, and then react to it once it is detected. and based on Luca’s statement, I do not think the devs think X-raying is a big enough problem for them to take further action on it.
That is a pretty passive stance on it if you ask me.
