I mean, that situation has played out probably hundreds of thousands of times in this games existence. I’m sure they can tell when people are shadow-stepped or summoned very easily. I’d bet that’s not what is getting people banned. The easiest explanation is usually the correct one. People are cheating.

Don't you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?
bold to assume daybreak is competent enough to notice and actively ban people, i would agree

on the otherhand, it is daybreak, and their annual 'be active and and make money' time of the year is usually around TLP launch season

e: daybreak, darkpaw, whoever the half-dozen people assigned to this game are these days

Pulling from the team who runs Quarm, they have a "port" detector that works fairly well, they are often looking for movment greater then 1 shadowstep however. So catching port cheats is almost trival for daybreak. That said i doubt the logs are good enough if 3 mobs shadow step you in the same server tic.

That said, its labor intensive to hunt down port hackers and Daybreak just does not have the man power.
