The rise in VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) bans has caused a storm in the CS community, but contrary to speculation, this does not exclusively affect cheaters. Valve has turned its attention to those who abuse accounts for automated case farming and rank promotion.
As we wrote earlier, the wave of bans appears to be related to a recent update that mentioned the detection of "suspicious hits." The exact details of the system remain unclear, but it appears to be effective.
In light of the increase in VAC bans, Valve's initiative has brought attention to another type of bad behavior in the CS2 ecosystem.
Account farming, a practice in which players use automated scripts or bots to accumulate in-game items or increase their rank, has long been a concern. These actions not only undermine the integrity of the game, but also undermine the efforts of legitimate players to compete fairly.
Valve's strong stance demonstrates its proactive approach to maintaining competitive integrity in CS2.
The community is looking forward to further developments as Valve continues its efforts to provide a fair and balanced playing field for all CS fans.
