Shrapnel, an online blockchain-based shooting game, recently announced that they have taken strict measures against cheating players.
In order to maintain the game’s integrity and fairness, the Shrapnel team has announced that any player who is caught engaging in unfair practices during the Alpha test STX event, such as collusion or account sharing, will be permanently banned from the game and its leaderboard.
Ensuring Fair Play
The team at Shrapnel has expressed concerns regarding certain behaviors that are compromising the competitive nature of the game. During the early alpha playtest STX events, certain players were discovered using prohibited tactics, such as teaming up and sharing accounts, to gain an unfair advantage over others. These actions not only violate the game’s terms of service but also undermine the principles of fair competition and equal opportunity for all players.
Shrapnel has set up a dedicated feedback channel on Discord to combat these issues, where players can report suspicious activities or unfair practices. This initiative fosters a community-driven approach to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment.
Addressing Unauthorized Tactics
Investigations into recent gameplay have revealed the use of unauthorized strategies, including the exploitation of multiple devices to manipulate the game’s outcome. Such tactics indicate a concerted effort by some players to sidestep the game’s rules and secure an undue advantage, thereby distorting the competitive landscape.
The company has pledged to thoroughly address and resolve all identified exploits before the game’s official launch. By doing so, Shrapnel aims to ensure that all players, especially those investing in NFTs and other digital assets, participate in a balanced and equitable platform.
