I believe that Admins (for Skyblock) ban brand new accounts with odd skills and stats, especially when that new account is doing one thing so much like farming. But for other gamemodes unrelated to Skyblock, I believe Admins base it off of reports, account level, and statistics, so let's say you were level 1000 in Bedwars, maybe admins would think you are just a good player (this doesn't include ranks, they will ban any rank). But this is the case with Skyblock, if are a brand new profile macroing, they will probably know.
[Analysis] NEW Hypixel Bans, Anticheat, & More...
Hypixel has always known that cheating was a pretty big problem in their community, so it's really odd why they chose now to start improving moderation tools & etc, when they could have done that years ago. Especially in 2020 when cheating was really big.
As a high level in bedwars, I lasted for probably half a year or more toggling autoblock + keepsprint + 0 velocity on cheaters & whenever I felt like it really. Yeah reports are definitely not prioritized for people with a high level. Can't say for skyblock but I have a hard time believing you would get banned if you're actually legit, even if you farm a lot or whatever.
They don't give a shit about nons accusing others of cheating. I've probably gotten accused more times when I was actually legit than when I was cheating, they care about long time players that either resort to cheating themselves or quit the game because its "unplayable" (it really isn't but legit players loveeee complaining and saying the game is unplayable because they went against 1 cheater).
A few closet cheaters? Not a problem. But when a majority of high level players (amongst others) resort to cheating it becomes a big problem, especially with how common and normalized cheating is now. You can admit to cheating as a high status player and barely anyone would even care, that's how normal it is now.
Actually, new stuff in Skyblock is being detected as I've heard, ghost blocks (created not legitimately) are bannable because you're sending block-breaking packets and game masters can see that.
Along with auto-solvers (eg. auto terminals etc), but in this case, for other gamemodes it would be chest stealer, is also being detected (specifically on spectate).
In addition with that, (for Skyblock) if you are reported, Admins will eventually check or spectate you, since all reports are still manually reviewed by Admins (gamemodes that are unrelated to Skyblock, Admins can use Atlas to prioritize people who others deemed were cheating and push them up in chronological order)
In this case, all sorts of players would get banned, which doesn't exclude high-level players, though, it could be coincidental.
I still highly doubt they check every report. They use ai to prioritize reports (and when it comes to less serious stuff like mutes they even do it automatically and later review them). Generally you won't last as long on a fresh account as if you had used a high level account, even if you were to cheat in high level queues with people that are more likely to know that you're cheating and actually report you.
Based on everything, cheaters would likely report each other, if you really think about it.
Wdym? I think its the opposite. If you're cheating yourself (assuming you're using something that can potentially get you staffed) you're most likely not gonna report a cheater you go up against, at least I didn't whenever I cared about the account. Toggling on a blatant cheater is probably pretty risky too, if they get reported a bunch you might just end up in the crossfire when staff check those reports whereas someone on a main account is unlikely to get reported enough as they won't go randomly cheat in skywars and accumulate reports.
Tldr if the person you're up against cares about their account I doubt they'll report you, if you end up fighting (and toggling) on eachother just because they wanna avoid the risk of potentially getting caught in the crossfire.
Yeah, but blatant cheaters are very likely to report people toggling on them. Why? Because their account lasts only several hours before getting banned. I also doubt that they have any info on who reported them etc. so if you don't call them out in chat, you can report them. Especially if you're using a config that can't be detected/staffed.
Many cheaters act like they are legit, at least some that I've met, and they'll report anyone more blatant than them, or at least whenever they get killed by them.
And just reporting them won't get you reported back by them.
Yes so do I when I just use closet settings. I meant that if you toggle something that can potentially get you staff banned yourself you might not report them, just incase staff checks the report and sees that you're also cheating.
Depends, cause once staff confirms that they were cheating they will just ban them, not watch the entire replay.
Yeah but if you're there fighting the cheater while autoblocking yourself you'll be caught in the crossfire, which is what I meant.
Well of course, it depends on how the staff sees replays, because for Atlas, everybody is renamed and the suspect is highlighted, so if the Staff have the same thing as Atlas but in their own version that may or may not do the same thing, there's still a chance. (
They have more tools and access to more information. Besides you can still report someone else in the public version (atlas).
Oh, they don't hide other's usernames?
I don't see the point of why they should. There might be other cheaters in that same game and if their username is hidden, I suppose staff wouldn't be able to ban them.
I would assume no usernames are hidden for staff.
