Monster Hunter Wilds Takes Strong Stance Against Cheaters in New Crackdown!

by

The popular game, Monster Hunter Wilds, remains at the summit of Steam’s most actively played titles. The latest Title Update has introduced fresh content, along with a series of live events planned by Capcom, ensuring the gaming experience stays engaging for its community. Nevertheless, ranked events in the gaming sphere often carry a significant threat – cheating. In response to this, Monster Hunter on X has announced that they will be investigating some suspicious activities during the recent Doshaguma of the Hollow event. The final results and rewards for the event are yet to be released pending the outcome of this investigation.

The “Quest in the Empty Realm,” initiated on April 3rd and concluded on April 17th, pits players against each other to see who can conquer the Doshaguma monster the fastest. This challenge includes incentives linked to a particular position on the leaderboard, which has caused some issues as players attempt to manipulate the system. Notably, “Monster Hunter Wilds” adjusted the rules for the “Doshaguma of the Empty Realm” and all future Challenge Quests due to these concerns.

Dear Hunters, there are some significant adjustments to the rewards for the current Challenge Quest, “Doshaguma of the Hollow.” To ensure that every hunter gets a fair and balanced chance at acquiring event rewards, we’ve made these updates as shown in the accompanying image.

The decision was taken jointly to guarantee an equal chance at prizes for every player, regardless of their position. However, subsequent notices about “odd” competition durations hint that Capcom is also vigilant against fraudulent activities. This suspicion grew stronger today, with a new announcement concerning the quest rewards and final standings.

Monster Hunter Wilds Reviews Final Ranking Results for Fraudulent Clear Times

Today, the MonsterHunter account on X posted an update titled “Action Against Cheaters.” In this post, they mentioned that the final rankings for the recent Challenge Quest are being reviewed which may take up to 1-2 weeks. Rewards from the event will not be distributed until this review is finished and any suspicious results have been thoroughly investigated and eliminated.

Suspicious accounts, believed to produce fake swift completions, will encounter limitations. These accounts will forgo event rewards and their results won’t be displayed publicly. However, it doesn’t stop there. Players under suspicion of cheating in Monster Hunter Wilds may face harsher penalties. As stated, Capcom intends to “impose bans on accounts that our examination has flagged as cheating.” The investigation will encompass evaluations of completion times, as well as other methods.

This message contains a link to Capcom’s alert regarding unauthorized data manipulation in Monster Hunter Wilds, as well as updates about Competition Quests that are dependent on time. Additionally, Capcom requests that players keep reporting accounts that engage in prohibited activities by using their Hunter Profile.

In numerous games, including Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s a persistent issue with cheaters affecting competitive standings and other aspects. Yet, what happens in this game isn’t exclusive. People are praising the measures taken to keep fake times from influencing event outcomes and the continuous endeavor to ban dubious accounts. By changing the event formats ahead and taking action on suspected accounts, it’s hoped that cheating will decrease in the future. However, striking a balance is crucial here; let’s hope Capcom manages to find that balance effectively.
