Wtf I thought the whole afk problem with koth was already solved by making players who tab out get sucked by the ma- OOOHHH riiight the magnet, you removed it, maybe that has to do with this not working right, even IF corpses sometimes teleport in the spot the magnet used to suck you in, it appears the anti-afk doesn't work without it anymore.
Here's an idea, add back the magnet, but keep the new money gain feature. Instead, use the magnet to slowly move players outside the arena, not to a very noticeable or distracting degree, but to the point where no tabbing out abuse would be possible (to my knowledge). Drums would clearly be impossible to use on the arena, a bit of a bummer but hey, it's pvp.

This is kinda similar to what desert bus on sega genesis does to avoid having the player just cheating, making them always need to be active. I think in this instance this would be more beneficial than you'd think...you know, unless you can actually 100% fix this for all platforms, I'm just throwing a thought is all.

They should have had their KOTH wins and winings reduced end of last week. Is this still being an issue, or is it not really happening any more since some of last weeks patches for it?

The leaderboards are still showing their KOTH wins, but I haven't had any issues with players abusing this specific thing over the weekend, so I think its good now.

However, there is a new bug where you don't take damage in pvp, which was abused by a bunch of players and even high level players. They should be banned along with the other guy you banned from Mikel's thread since they were able to win KOTH's without taking damage and go into the Pit without taking damage. I have no idea how they do it, but its a pretty big issue.

Here is _Dark_hollow_ abusing it - https://youtu.be/zH9Xt1S8GD4
CrazyCowboy - https://youtu.be/TMmqMFCNl3k
Sijey (on an alt in the pit) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k13se9qSj74
1_GUNNER1 again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89KaGX4xlLo

A lot of players think its ok to abuse bugs now because they see high level players abusing bugs and not getting punished for it :(

Ok, they're KOTH leaderboard should be reset now.

Ok I've got some of those players banned. If they speak up and tell how they are doing it (as long as it's not a hack) I will consider unbanning them.

Do you suspect it is some type of bug in the game, or they are doing something more to hack?

Honestly I have no idea how they are doing it or what they are doing. I have heard that they CAN be damaged by an electric chain attack. I haven't been able to test it out, but if thats true maybe it helps.
