I now it sounds very good. Make cheaters pay money to ''ASSIST'' rather than paying to cheat apps.

But you know, admins can sort this kind of stuff. Even though players buy servers, they have to agree with itself ''Assist'' rules. They abuse something, they abuse the system that is built. As I said it would not hurt anyone, but a try is always a hope to something successful.

Paying a "fee" to be allowed to continue to play the game after being caught cheating would be a nightmare to administer.

Would being caught a second time warrant a higher fee?
Would AutoHotkey be penalized at 50% and a "real" bot at a 100%?

The ONLY upside to a fee/Tag model would be that the few that has been banned would add to the playerbase. But having them in the game with a Tag, would almost certainly drive away at least the same amount of clean players.

If the question  is how do we gain more players, allowing cheaters second chances is a really poor one.

The only good cheater is a banned one....

Assist can do whatever they want, but they have to be careful with what they do. You can't just do whatever you'd like, you have to bear the opinion of your target audience in mind. If I think I have a solid reason to ban someone (in my opinion) from MY server that I pay for and somebody from the development team is forcing me to allow that person to play because they received a little bag of money is ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure everyone here understand the noble idea of giving this project some much needed cash, but IMHO having cheaters paying to play again is not something that would work.

Ok, lets forget about the TAG option and lets go for other option such as only staff knows who is banned players and who of them are playing. Nobody would know, no harm.

Ok, now I want you all to go to ''Half of shame'' and count all those banned accounts. Using no flash no recoil, multi hack, private hack and so on that has policy of permanent ban. Tell me, how this would not increase player base.

At this point giving them a second chance, earning money, improving player base as it was more servers with people, more maps played. We can't of course guarantee it will work 100%, but we can try. It won't be illegal.
