Hey everyone,
I think we need to talk about the absolute comedy routine that is PikaNetwork’s current screening process.
I recently got slapped with a temporary ban for "Refusal to SS" while casually grinding mobs. The twist? I never actually refused. I just happen to own a slow PC and internet that operates at the speed of a snail. I didn't have AnyDesk installed, so while I was waiting for my low-spec PC to slowly download it, the staff apparently ran out of patience and decided I was stalling.
Since when did playing a casual block game to unwind require NASA-grade fiber internet and a high-end gaming rig pre-loaded with remote desktop software? If staff checked server logs for even two seconds, they’d see my human click rate. A real autoclicker clears 30–40 mobs in 2 seconds. I was just a regular player fighting my own hardware lag.
But the absolute funniest part of this whole situation is who isn't getting banned.
While legitimate players are getting hit with temporary bans just for having bad internet, we have people literally writing full-on confessions in public chat. Just look at the screenshot I attached. Players are casually admitting to using autoclickers, aim assist, and killaura in global chat, totally unbothered.
It feels like the staff team is completely blind to the actual blenders ruining PvP, but the moment a casual player takes more than two minutes to download a file, it's treated like a major offense.
Can we please get a reasonable grace period for players who don't have supercomputers? Handing out temporary bans over a slow download speed while actual hackers are giving chat interviews about their client config is a wild way to run a server.
What do you guys think? Anyone else out there get hit with a ban just because their Wi-Fi decided to take a nap during an SS check?
