> [@ADefianceDuck](#): > > EB seriously get off your i am almighty horse for one second of your life, you are nothing more than a toxic server admin who has more bans to his name than dinners, you think the gaming world revolves around you and your mates. As you have previously said, and I really hope its true, If there is no Procon you will not be an admin or have your little ban hammer privilege for BF1, here is hoping ! Here you go with the personal attacks again. Good to see you haven’t changed a bit. Good to see a toxic player like yourself joins this discussion. . You have been banned from my servers for the exact same reasons. You Sir, you are a hackusator, a troll, a crybaby and just an annoying person in general. We had every right to ban you from our servers and so we did. You disrespected and hackusated many other players in our servers (regulars) and you disrespected our admins on several occasions while I did not disrespect you once… not even in your [ban appeal](https://11-clan.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=197&t=2277). . Calling me a badmin… LOL. If that was true my servers wouldn’t be full 24/7… would they? I believe our [Ban Appeals](https://www.11-clan.eu/ban-appeals.php) section tells the whole story about 11-clan admins and how we handle toxic players and cheaters. It’s sometimes very fun to read too. ---

Good point. I haven’t met any players in Overwatch who I would call a cheater, even to myself not in chat. I’ve met few who spammed chat with abusive stuff, but I just hid the chat. No admin but for whatever reason I haven’t needed any, it’s just 5 v 5 after all and can’t be compared to Battlefield IMHO. I can’t say for the other games, but I’ll probably see what Battlefront is without admins soon. “I’m going in…!” I’ve been thinking what other games that I play could use admins… but maybe I just don’t play any other games with big multiplayer, aside MMO’s which are a world of their own. ---

When games last 5-10 minutes max and you’re running on matchmaking for the most part, admins aren’t as necessary. Worst case you drop game and requeue if someone is being THAT obnoxious. I have definitely seen more than a few cheaters in OW though, but unlike DICE, Blizzard bans them and those bans stick. It’s also worth noting that Overwatch would be actively ruined by allowing customization due to the sort of game it is. Don’t believe me, go look at TF2 back when it launched vs what it’s been degraded into. ---

i would say its statisticaly more probable to meet cheater among 64p than 12 🙂 ---

My realistic take on it: . 1) The server infrastructure has been in place for a long time and was intended to not be 3rd party ever since they started working on the game. That’s how billion-dollar-value corporations work. Everything is planned, and they never told us due to backlash they knew would happen. However, the backlash “loss” in $$$ is calculated to still make them a profit by luring in new players. Losing 10 players, gaining 14 is still a long-term positive. . 2) They are stalling on answers due to not risking sales/pre-orders/interest. . 3) Don’t fall for “being catered to” by getting answers on questions, since whatever the questions/answers are, the server infrastructure will not change. Not this close to launch. Adding/removing features so as to make the servers behave/be controlled like they used to - just to please the community/admins, will not happen. The earliest we’ll see 3rd party servers in November 1st, according to reports, and EA has stated “shortly” after launch. . 4) Early Access starts tomorrow, and EA will stream and report on BF every day till release, Oct. 18th/21st. . 5) We will most likely not get answers before release, and even with answers (see 3 ^^) that means little, as nothing will change. . . Again; don’t misinterpret “getting answers” as equaling “EA will change their minds”. . @Braddock512 = still awesome! Not criticizing him the slightest. ---

The primary motivation for renting a server, is to _ **build community** _ around a shared experience. As a Battlefield centric community ([http://legendarybastards.com/](http://legendarybastards.com/)) we have done this since Battlefield 2 days and have been able to manage our servers the way we see fit. In all cases we have tried to provide both our community members and our guests with a fair and balanced gaming experience. In order to continue doing so, we need to be able to rent a server with either third-party tool access or built-in server management tools, this is imperative. Here is a basic list of tool capabilities that make for successful server administration 1. Ability to assign admins 2. Reserved slots 3. Language filters & punishment system 4. Banlist / cheat detection to be shared across servers 5. Votemap 6. Votekick 7. Ping Kick 8. Ingame balancer (DICE balancer does only end-of-round balancing) 9. Chat logging 10. Stats logging There is no doubt Battlefield One is going to be successful and as a community member we are asking to work together with EA/Dice to continue helping build communities that contribute to this. P.S. I have no doubt that Dice are aware of the importance of admin tools, specifically as they hired on Phogue ([https://forum.myrcon.com/content.php?84-Working-for-The-Man](https://forum.myrcon.com/content.php?84-Working-for-The-Man)) some time ago. ---

Any lack of KICK/BAN is a very, very poor way of asking clans/renters to get a server through EA. . Since there’s a cost per each player slot on the server, and EA basically says that you have to go about ridding these players in a non KICK/BAN manner (basically the opposite to how a lot of 3rd party servers are run), then why should we have to pay for cheaters, trolls and offensive language users, etc.? If the admin cannot kick/ban the player(s) doing the opposite of what the server renters want them to do, then are we stuck with the player on that server till EA does something about it 2 weeks later? . A banlist/anti-cheat list across every single server would be a great anti-cheat tool (if implemented correctly). Not sure if that’ll happen, but great idea on paper, at least… ---

A very popular VoIP solution is TeamSpeak. You can rent and control your own TeamSpeak server for a small fee from several authorized vendors (I think the TS organization has their own rental program as well, but I digress), or you can use a public TeamSpeak server. If you have ever used a public TeamSpeak server (please do so if you have not), you will notice a trend. That trend is every hour or so, some group of drunk or otherwise rowdy group of individuals will log in and move from channel to channel disrupting everything with loud music, hate speach, etc… They will continue to do so until they are eventually removed by the public administrator (often this takes hours).

I am not even talking about the rampant cheaters on the official servers; I am talking about the people who choose to join for the sole purpose of aggravating people and making them leave. In a real-time FPS, it is not hard to do these actions.
