How long does it take to ban a cheater? Or they don't care?!
Like i reported him already for 3 days, and they didn't responded to the ticket. It's the second cheater i met in 2 days..

After the asylum map bug a couple years ago I stopped reporting people, it takes way too much time and nothing happens. In fact, after asylum bug they literally created the "3 strikes" type of ban and unbanned all the people they banned for exploiting the bug, including some well known streamers who were showcasing the exploits on their channel. Back then, you made a video, uploaded it to customer support, = win. But after they made the soft bans so they didnt have to ban thousands of players, I stopped caring.
You end up taking a half hour of your time to record a video, go through the reporting form, which would often not accept my video format.... you know, mp4?
I just click next match now. I was rporting 1-3 people a week and realized it was not worth my time.

Yea. Thats why i didn't even reported the second cheater. Because it's been already 3 days and no response. From now on if i see a cheater i will just kill myself on hook and go next or "rq" if i'm killer.

They generally don't respond and let you know if someone has been banned or not. The thing you need to do is keep a copy of said profile and check yourself.
Always remember when reporting to send in video evidence also as without proof nothing can be done.
They do actively do something when they have the evidence. I've seen this happen on streams where a dev or mod is in the room and a cheater is in their game or they break the rules in the after game chat.
Reports are dealt with manually so the time frame is dependant on how many they have. Just think if in one day 10k reports are sent in and 500 have 15 min videos.
That is a lot to go through and why the devs ask not to report for silly things like camping etc as it slows the real reports down.

I had a game where the survivors 3 genned themselves on the Saloon, last 3 gens incredibly close together, zero progress on any of them. One survivor made a mistake and got downed with exposed due to 4 stacks on Devour Hope, then as soon as I hooked them the last genned popped which was impossible since the chase was legit like 10 seconds. Afterwards I found the Meg who literally ran towards me, I hit them but It didnt register then they spawned hatch beneath them and escaped. Makes sense.

Am I the only one who thinks BHVR's reporting feature is a completely futile endeavor? Is the expectation that everyone is a streamer and records every game they play, just in case there a cheater? Submitting video evidence seems to be a ridiculous requirement. I could understand this being required before we had dedicated servers, but now that we do, how is it possible that the servers themselves cannot keep track of in game actions such as movement speed (the most common hack as far as I can tell), generator completion speeds, players teleporting, spawining of hatch, or beginning of EGC at incorrect times? Shouldn't the dedicated servers be able to record anomalous events like these and if a player flags that game as one with fishy activity, BHVR can use their own logs as proof?

There's no set time.
The shortest i've seen a person i reported be banned was in the same day, the longest was 3 days.
They never responded to my ticket either, so they either responded to other people reporting the same fellar, or they don't respond at all and just banned them.

This is what the anti cheat system does but not one system is infallible. The issue with any hacks is they need to be found before they can be caught and this unfortunately is a never ending cycle as if someone can make it some will be able to break it.
The main reason for video evidence is so they have the proof needed to ban a player as without that its your word versus the other player. Its something else we as a community can do over and above the cheat system to help get rid of these players who ruin it for us all.

Meh. They still didn't respond or took an action about it, eventho' i sent 4 vids / pics and his profile. So from now on, i won't report them, let them be free on servers, why should i care if the devs can't ban a cheater, but they are playing all day dbd on twitch, right? Right.

That all depends on what proof you had of course as it does need to show 100% it was a cheat. You should also show the match or s decent amount of playtime and not just random clips of something that happened.
The devs when on twitch they are off the clock so no longer working. It is their free time to do what they please.

They have a relatively small amount of people and they get A LOT of reports that need checking, especially if evidence is provided, the IDs of reports as far as I can tell are sequential, here I have two reports, 5 months apart, and a whopping 67,259 reports between those 5 months.

You’re asking for the devs to go through and review the servers and watch the whole game video to see the cheat? Keep in mind how many people submit things that just aren’t cheating.
I played against a no name TTV and watched his stream VOD the next day, I always do to see the game from the other side. I literally saw him type the ticket and report me after the game for “wall hacks,” I was plague with her aura addon.
Reports like that really waste time and a lot of people submit tickets out of spite.

So much for this anti cheat, it’s a joke. (I was actually accidentally perma banned by it once!!)

translation: there is simply no way they go through all reports.
no way. Not without an Ai - I realized this after sending in 20 minute vids as proof because they need entire match, and copy pasting error code? No way human eyes go through all that.

All of my reports have ended with bans though, and not every report will result in a ban on steam record, could be temp in-game ban, there's no way to tell from our side whether it's their first offence or not.
and also, a lot of reports will just be "player t-bagged" "player face camped" etc and can be immediately dismissed.
