Counter-Strike Global Offensive Jail Server Opinions on making the Server Prime Only?

[Corrupted]

New CS:GO Update.

What happened?:

• So recently with the new CS:GO update in 2019, valve have made it possible to get Prime Status without adding your phone number or having steam guard. To get Prime Status you only have to get to level 21. In match making this can increase the amount of cheaters in Prime games. Now if you want to play CS:GO without any sort of cheaters you need to have a high trust factor. If you're like me and you don't play Match Making and you have a bad history of people reporting you for being toxic then Match Making is not for you!

Release Notes for 01/24/2019:

• [MAPS]
  – Added a new version of Vertigo to Wingman official matchmaking.
  – Added Zoo and Abbey to Casual and Deathmatch official matchmaking.
  – Removed Austria and Subzero from official matchmaking.
  
• Biome:

• [MISC]
  – Accounts are now automatically upgraded to Prime by reaching Lieutenant Rank 21.
  – Fixed a regression for some Perfect World accounts with completed Identity Verification and restored their Prime Account Status.
  – Fixed scoreboard team names truncation in some languages.

• [SOUND]

  – Fixed a bug where “the bomb has been defused” and “counter-terrorists win” VO lines could overlap each other.

Videos & Stuff:
I first noticed this update whenever 3kliksphilip made a video on it. He makes really good videos on CS:GO and you should check his video on this update.


Also here's the official post about the CS:GO update:

Does anyone know how to make a screenshot bigger? If you do please PM me on the forums xD

My Opinion:
I honestly don't mind the changes made to the maps, since I don't really play matchmaking any more but the fact of cheaters being able to get Prime Status for free just be not being blatent annoys me. Once I made an alt and tried out the CSGO Free To Play Experience, and in every single game I played, there was cheaters. In arms race there was cheaters, in competitive there was cheaters. It's just a massacre.

Should we make the server Prime Only?
Now that your able to get Prime Status by reaching level 21 I think Prime Status Only should be added to our CS:GO community servers, ban evaders and cheaters will have a harder time to play on the server because they actually have to put in like 10 hours into CS:GO to get Prime Status. Whenever I was on an alt trying out competitive I also wanted to go onto some JB servers and see how people would react if a level 2 account came on and new most of the secrets on the map. I couldn't join barely any servers because they had Prime Only and I then noticed that this could be a good idea to add. I first was against this because you completely denied new players because they had to add in there phone number and get steam guard to have Prime, but now that I think of it. It's not that bad.

Thoughts on this situation?
I really want to know what everyone thinks about this, about the new update and that Prime is now just completely free.

P.S. Meant to make the name "New CS:GO update, opinions on it?"

Yes I know that, but now it's different. If you actually read it properly you would've known I knew that....

There's going to be cheaters, rulebreakers, and trolls either way, why restrict some players from our server when we could just allow all players, and let the possibly friendly players in and just let the "bad apples" be dealt with by our admins.

Honestly, if I were a new player and just picked up CS:GO and decided to try out a community server just to see that I cannot join unless I get level 21, aka prime, I would probably not look back to that server and just find another.

By the way, previously you needed level 21 + linking your phone number, so it's easier to get prime now.

I don't see this being added, I don't think we should add requirements to join our server, and I'm sure quite a large number of the current pubs might not have prime as well. In my eyes, I just see this as diminishing our server population and lessening our server variety.

this is like the 30th ****ing thread for this, and the answer is always the same: No.

We dont want to alienate a playerbase just because of prime and considering how EASY it is to get prime, its not gonna make a difference. If Hackers will buy their hacks, they will buy prime accounts to go with it, or just grind up an account, which honestly doesnt take long.

Id much rather have new players be able to join the server, then eliminate their opportunity to play for the sake of eliminating a miniscule amount that will have hacks of griefs without prime.

Well now its different since you no longer need steam guard or a phone number. ALSO I wanted to hear people's thought about it since it's different. This could be a possible temporary solution until the new maul comes out. You don't need to attach a phone to your account, you just need to put in 10 hours into CS:GO which is barely anything.

Even when new MAUL comes out, getting a VPN is not hard for anyone to do and circumvent bans by IP. Slows them down, sure, but it only helps so much.

If I'm an eGO member and want to play jail with friends, I'm not going to other game modes to level up before I play with my friends.

Stop beating really really dead horses.

I'm so glad I've uninstalled this dreadful game.

 

[Mayhem Death]

I'm glad you are adamant about this, but even with the change the same reality is needed to be faced. And if anything this would be better suited for the Suggestions part of the forums, but since this is a topic that has been seen an extreme amount since the last update I'm gonna go ahead and close it.


Cheers!
