However hackers often comes in the game, taking down the legit players in the game and overplay them without making any effort. With millions of active players, it would be an impossible task for the developers to check on everyone. Since the cheaters are in mass numbers, the developers have set an anti-cheat system which detects and bans the cheaters permanently.
Most of the them opt for paid hacks, third-party software to obtain the cheats. The best part is the players who got thrashed by the cheaters in the lobby can report them to the officials or the anti-cheat system via in-game report option. The Anti-cheat system checks their account and if they are found cheating, they will be banned. Some of the players get banned for playing with cheaters intentionally for rank push and their fantasies in the game.
