I feel like the only drawback to having a tournament with a large prize pool (online) is the fact that the game lacks a proper anti-cheat system. It's a shame though. I feel like more people would take tournaments more seriously with large prize pools and increase the competitiveness and skill of that tournament. Every time I host a gf tournament it seems like 50% or more don't even care about the prize pool because it's so low per person (my last one was $350). But anyways, what would be the point if there were autoblocking scares midway through a tournament/season. I know within the NA scene there are people who have been recently caught using it/still use it.

Just exclude caught cheaters indefinitely from any tournament as community.

There is no real way to 'catch' someone though unless they're dumb enough to admit it. You can say what 'looks' like cheating via videos but it's impossible to confirm unless the cheater proves it themselves due to the lack of anti-cheat. So what you just said is easier said than done.

Yeah, the biggest reason why I didn't want to participate in NWWC and the biggest reason why I always laugh at ppl when they flex how "PRO" they are and how many tourneys they have won just to see them releasing videos of them using glowing muskets, X% zoom outs, HP MOD, radar, etc... I just don't feel that after what I have seen I can take these tourneys seriously no more...

Imagine someone making a glowing musket mod, like just get better eyesight bro???

using them is the first thing, but uploading videos using these "mods" is just the best thing I've ever witnessed. Better than Mr. word.exe Forsaken himself

Personally I don’t have an issue with glowing muskets bcs I use a very dark monitor with a black LED. And it can be really hard even with max brightness to see muskets  because of these dark colours ingame, so the yellow really helps eliminate this factor. But yeah HP mods etc are just cringe and give actual advantages

Can we also maybe say the thread isn't right. This thread was started in 2014 and we're a quarter through 2021 and the game is still going. Obviously a smaller community but its about not the size of the ship, it's what you do with it that matters.

I mean I remember when this thread was posted, it was at a kinda weird time for NA NW. Their scene didn't really start from the ground up like EU did. There were regiments in EU who would bring large groups of NA's, like the OG 51st did. When bluefang hosting etc. started supporting NW thats when the big regiments in NA started, but the thing I remember the most about 2013 is literally everyone complaining about how shitty the servers and competition were. Come to think of it, it took them a good while to pick up tournament formats etc. that EU had done. Pair that with losing interest I can kinda understand why they felt this way 7 years ago.

Back then you had plenty of regiments who were all pulling in big numbers but suddenly started to shrink down. Honestly I would just put it forward to that honeymoon period. DLC had been out for 2 years and people started to lose interest. That goes for both EU and NA obviously.
