Please tell me how to compete fairly with cheaters？

Please tell me how to compete fairly with cheaters？
It's all cheating to open the map, it's all zooming in, a group of brainless speed promoters cheating. Racing activities make normal players a joke.

no game has no cheats in human history, accept it.

No game other than POE 2 focus so much on multiplayer things while no one play multiplayer. Everything is so focused about multiplayer : economy, achievements, races, etc. while its a freaking single player game with coop mechanics. Just like they focus on End Game elements while the game is not even completed.

Most likely, GGG answers to Tencent and must do everything in order to bring money in, like not caring about bots and cheaters so everyday players feels like they need to buy things wit real money, like tabs or third party selling orbs to keep up.

It's about the investors, not a good game flow. In game time, microtransactions, and PR is all they care about. As long as the paid steamers are happy, Tencent is happy, GGG gets paid.
Really sad because I was told this developer was made of gamers, not investment capitalists like Blizzard.

Do you have ANY proof for what you've said?
You know, antagonizing someone here is against "Code of Conduct", but I would like them to add "spreading lies" to the list too.

It's called ''thinking outside the box''. How do you explain they developed an end game in a hurry a few months before early access if it wasn't a Tencent push ? How do you explain that in 5-6 years that we got a game that looks like it's two games in one ? Clearly, something happened during the development and it's not hard to see a correlation with games like Veilguards that was supposed to be a live service but changed direction in the middle of it's development time. A different vision between the dev team and the publisher is not hard to imagine for POE 2.

Playing in a group is cheating? Literally everything in life is easier and better when done in a functioning group.

It's not. It's called "spreading lies and misinformation".

We have the information of WHY the end game was developed 3 months before the EA release.
GGG was working on the last acts and originally planned to release the EA with the entire campaign, but they discussed this matter and changed their mind because they thought ppl would like to play the end game.
Just repeating only the campaign in EA wouldn't have worked pretty well for many reasons, and it's obviously better to get feedback about the end game earlier than later.

Tencent had nothing to do with this decision. Tencent owns GGG since 2018 and they have a contract where GGG can develop without Tencent's interference.
What Tencent does is holding the rights (decision making) for the Chinese Client, so they can make changes they want to that version and not to the normal Western Client.

And btw. Tencent is not the publisher of "Path of Exile 1 & 2" - it's Grinding Gear Games. The more you know.

So wheres the rest of the campaign then if it was almost ready 3 months before the release of the EA ? This story does not add up.

From what we know, Act 4 and 5 were basically done, but they were working on Act 6, but then decided to release "Act 1-3 + end game" instead and polish the rest of the campaign.
There is nothing that does not "add up".

We have seen "Huntress" and "Druid" ages ago, but they weren't put in the "EA release version" too.

That we don't have everything in the "EA release version" does not mean that these things don't exist.
Take weapons for example, we don't "have" daggers, axes, swords, etc. in the current version enabled, but these items already exist.
We even have a bug that these weapons can drop in the current version, but in a "disabled" not really useable form.
