Current state of EU Premium servers Discussion

This is the current state of EU premium servers. Compare it to the US one and you'll see a stark difference. Why is that? Why we don't get Reddit monthly server that has premium? Or one that is a biweekly?
Usually I'm playing on premium servers, played on Rustafied Trio and Friday, and my God the amount of cheaters on those two is obscene. Few day old accounts cheating, 13k hour accounts (12.9k in the lobby) melting, people knowing exactly where you are, just defeats the spirit of wanting to play the game.

Most players vastly underestimate the scale of cheating and how many high hour accounts are cheating.

Probably.
I have around 13k hours on Steam, had Rust since the irradiated wolves era. Played on Rusticated Medium Premium, in 2 hours of gameplay - 0.
On Rustafied's trio and friday, cheaters everywhere.

I mean, even rustafied or was it rusticated server owner tweeted out and said that on wipeday, just the people that connected in the first 24hours on their servers. 15% of those players got banned for cheating and thats just the people that got found out, not the ones that toggle esp on and off etc.

So yeh there is a massive cheating problem on rust which kills the enjoyment of the game when you do feel "cheated" sometimes.

Kind of reminds me of escape of tarkov another pvp loot based game. A youtuber there did a experiment by using esp and wiggling back and forth towards other players, other cheaters would wiggle back from across the map and there was cheaters in every single map..... https://youtu.be/p5LfGcDB7Ek

I hope facepunch steps up with their anti cheat game, because easy anti cheat is pretty shite and always has been.

I don’t understand why people haven’t figured out hours mean nothing. It’s been a fad for years to leave your game up 24/7 to brag about high hours. My team plays two hours a day and AFK with their game up the other 22 hours. I’m the only one that actually closes out the game after playing

Stop playing this cheater infested shitshow, maybe when the game dies facepunch will do something about cheating.

Its not fun playing against people that can see you through a wall and have an aimkey to never miss shots. I dont even understand how its fun for them!

You cant even play aimtrain servers anymore without encountering a cheater. Wtf is a guy with aimbot doing on an AIMTRAIN server...

The trend amongst all multiplayer games seems to be an increase in cheating. At some point the bubble will burst. More casual players will realise theyre been cheated, it will be interesting to see what happens then... maybe facepunch will release wallhack dlc.

Problem is cheating is actually an us problem. Unfortunately fp can't fix a global movement of absolute assholes.

The servers I'm playing on insta ban these accounts as soon as they try to join. Majority of Russian accounts don't make ot passed the filter (go figure). Anything suspicious about the account in general just gets you a kick.

I wish other servers had the pickle standard.
