    Y'know, seeing Basil's griefing, it'd be kind of interesting to make "Pyro Golf" an unofficial new game mode: Spawn a stationary bomb-carrying bot near the bot's spawn, then try to airblast it to the hatch in the fewest puffs, perhaps with a custom plugin for different "clubs", i.e. airblast strengths. Hell, it might be good enough for custom golf maps!

    I actually had a friend of mine who just recent got into Mvm that didn’t understand what tacobot or pizzabot were and basil or someone akin to him continuously air-blasted the bomb carrier out of bounds on the last wave and made them have to restart the wave countless times. It made my friend stop playing Mvm and TF2 as a whole only after his 5th tour because he just didn’t like the toxicity of the community and felt it was unwelcoming to new players.

    I had completed 400 tours, and pyro was my 2nd most played class in mvm long before the gas pass came out. Long before tacobot was a thing, and after not playing for years I decided to come back and have some fun. I saw pyro had this new weapon, and I was having a blast using it. I had only completed a few tours before running into my first Tacobot, who saw me using pyro. He forced everyone in the pub to ragequit on the last wave, using an exploit to avoid being kicked. After that encounter I was blacklisted and harassed daily by tacobot members, they went after me extra hard because of my high tour count, if any member saw me they would ruin the game I was in. I was just trying to have some fun, first time playing tf2 in years, and now I don't play tf2 anymore...

    Huge respects to you, for diving this deep into this deadly topic and spotlighting with valid reasonings. Great work!
    Anyway, still, the mindset of the people who cheat in MVM is foreign to me. Regarding the gameplay of MVM as a chore, and decides to turn on a cheat to bypass the 'chores'?
    MVM is like a mixture of an amusement park and a lottery. Some people are here for the gameplay, and some are here for the lottery. Some are for both. All of their mindsets are acceptable. It's their free will anyways. But if you end up going out of the way, taking an illegal path meantime harassing others, JUST to pull the lever of the lottery machine over and over... Then that's not something we can call an 'acceptable mindset'. That's nothing but a gambling addiction. And what do addicts needs? More gambles?
    No, a medication.

      Playing devil's advocate pretty hard here, but if "some are here for the lottery" is a valid reason to play mvm, how is minimizing the time to do said thing contradictorily not okay? Isn't that policing the "right and wrong" way to have fun? Sure as the video establishes, there's an effect on the fun of those that come for the gameplay by cheating, but the very same could be said by just being good with sniper naturally, or using kritz'd beggars/brass beast/gas etc and effectively soloing waves anyways. Are you still "negatively impactingthe gameplay" of others doing that?
      And moreso, theres definitely an argument to be made about that last few sentences, smells of "protecting you from yourself" type mindsets. Sure I'd agree there's definitely people that need protection from their own tendencies, but its a slippery slope into moral arbiter behavior and (more broadly outside the scope of tf2) authoritarianism and shouldn't just be taken at face value.
      setting aside that devil's advocate rant though, yeah I'd probably kick a cheater in mvm.

    You know, for that group trying to keep tf2 a pure game, they aren’t exactly pure themselves.
    A bit obvious when one of the rules they live by is to kick newbies from their matches.
    What’s the point of new players trying out the gamemode if you’re just going to be a ass to them. Plus, the game doesn’t keep a record for matches lost, and losing a match doesn’t affect item drops, so what’s the point of doing it? Because newbies might ruin the match and make you play longer?

    I really enjoyed this video, it's a pretty interesting topic I'd never really considered a lot about. Hearing about this monkey war between tacobot and pizzabot was really funny too.
    My philosophy on cheaters in MvM does still stick to the mindset that it ruins the fun. For me, I like Mann Up because of that inherent combination of gambling and just normal gameplay. I don't do it enough for it to have a big impact on my wallet, so I like adding that element of gambling to a gamemode that is, also, inherently fun. So when there's a cheater on the team who's cleaning house and leaving me with nothing to really do, with no real strategy or comradery, I am inclined to kick them and leave room for real players. Even then, though, I make sure to talk to the rest of the people in the lobby to see what THEY wanna do, and then we go from there. So, if I were to hypothetically queue into a server with 4 bots, I'd probably just requeue, no harm no foul, and if the majority of players wants to keep a lone cheater we have, I'll either just shrug my shoulders and stick around, or requeue, depending on how I feel that day.
    You can also argue that this same mindset could be applied to gas passer and kritz demos and whatnot, though I think the inherent difference of them using tools directly in the game is something that affects my decision making. It's a part of the game's design and thus can be called strategy, so even if this also bores me, I'd feel much less morally correct in kicking them. Not to mention I've seen cheaters carry even better than folk using those strats so, y'know
    I think it's an interesting topic to think about more than people do normally, but ultimately my opinion is the same as before, if not strengthened by some of your arguments towards the end of the video. Great scripting though, I really enjoy watching this channel!

    The bombs are held by scouts programmed to move randomly and can be pushed by any team’s airblast.

    I will say right now I said no, but my reasoning is, I want to play MVM to enjoy a game that encourages teamwork, with the loot also being part of a bonus of it, it's like a reward for working together and getting along when you complete a mission or tour.
    My other reasoning, is that I feel that with the bots, I agree that it is boring, but it also takes away from someone else being able to fit that slot. For example, if a cheater joins, I'm going to kick them, since that cheater and probably bots or set of cheaters, take those slots away from legitimate players or even new players.
    Thing about me is that I like teaching new players the mechanics of tours like Two Cities, and for a cheater/bot to take that slot away from a potentially new player, I dislike the idea of that happening.

    While everything is case by case, this is my general opinion on cheating in video games
    1. Single player games: go nuts mate
    2. Multi-player co-op: as long as the other teammates are cool with it, you're good
    3. Multi-player PvP: don't do it unless you're playing against other cheaters

    I think the most important question is whether or not random players are involved. If the cheaters are playing with their own party, there is no harm - they have paid for their MVM tickets and that is how they choose to play the game. If they allow randoms into the game, it is different. The random has spent money for the opportunity to play MVM, and while certain MVM players might support cheaters on their team, the cheaters have no way of knowing that. Every random that joins their game, is someone who might be forced to leave as a result, ruining their experience if it becomes a big enough problem.

    I would think Taco's a bit worse than Pizza since it's easy to pick out a Pizza than to pick out a Pizza sympathizer, yet it kinda seems like they don't care sometimes. I would think some newer people to MVM wouldn't know of the strict rulings that Taco set out to 'fix' MVM, stuff like don't play with cheats and don't use gas, but these newer people probably see a Sniper going ham and possibly think, "Wow, that guy's good" instead of, "F***ing cheat", same with gas, "Wow, this weapon is great!" instead of, "How does this ruin MVM for others?". For Taco though, that one slip is enough apparently, for shame newbie. Weezy's video shows it all, he's not supporting Pizza but being a passive observer, that isn't enough for Taco though apparently. You can't call yourself the hero when you gun down the innocent bystanders along with the actual guilty party, you'll just add more to the guilty side since you attacked them first, now they want payback out of spite. If you have a problem with cheats, attack the cheats, otherwise you're as much a problem as the cheat itself.

In Payday 2 they made it so everybody can get a free skin every day and the value of my collection went down by hundreds of dollars, but I was happy. I just got to get more skins. They were so common in fact I could just give them away to new players and it made their day. Anybody who only likes owning things because it's worth more than other peoples things, or invests in cosmetics for a decade old game with the purpose of making money is an idiot.

    Personally I play MVM for the experience of cooperative gameplay, it brings me enjoyment to help other people in game and real life (which is why I main Medic). having an "auto win" with cheaters is not something I enjoy to be with as it lessens the cooperation being experienced. I tend to server switch if the pyro is overusing Mouse 2 or when I encounter a cheater (has not happened yet). I'm not one to play "this side, that side" and prefer to avoid the drama altogether, but after what was shown in this informative video...I still take no sides and continue my playstyle, but I got some nice info and insight which is never bad in my opinion

    He would join any open game on l4d, or even private servers (because the server browser still lists them) and then just stall the game. Either by Team killing every player and then sitting in the saferoom to never restart the game. Or by performing glitches to just completely brick the game. He also just hated women, like a lot. He'd go on a rant about women in gaming any time he found someone who was either female, or just had a female in their pfp. It was amazing to behold because my friend and I found some of his dating profiles, I forgot where they are now. But he's like some fat dude who lives in his parent's basement. So we'd just read off his dating profiles and he'd get mad and leave.

I know I’m a tad bit late to the party here, but it’s such an interesting topic to delve into, and one I hadn’t given much thought. as mentioned in the video, my gut reaction is; “hey, cheating is bad!” And while I’m still agreeing with that stance due to the reasons given, I can see why some do it now, and why it’s okay in certain situations. It’s an interesting situation, which I think a breakdown video of this sort is perfect for, not only to educate the wider community of TF2, but just games like this in general. There are times where cheating is pretty darn cool! And there are times where it sucks… it all depends on a case-by-case basis, and the situation at hand. It’s not black and white, as stated. It’s complicated.

    4:55 Pizzabot is objectively better, morally speaking, than Tacobot, for the sole reason that Tacobot members will literally go out of their way to harass people who have committed the crime of "not obeying our orders without question". It's one thing to refuse to play with people you don't like, or even to try and kick them - but to go out of your way to join their games and attempt to make it so they can't play at all is unacceptable, no matter their perceived slight.
    Obviously I'm not saying "Pizzabot good" - at best they're morally neutral - but they are far, *far* better than Tacobot.

    You briefly showed the Smash tournament that Nintendo shut down while complaining about ToS stuff.
    That wasn't simply a case of ToS stuff. The tournament in question was an online-only tournament for Melee and Ultimate. They had no specific issues with the Ultimate side, but the Melee side had issues several layers deep.
    Melee doesn't have online, so an online tournament requires a mod. Nintendo disapproves of mods, but this on its own isn't enough for them to get the lawyers in unless they are charging money for the mod or the mod makes it to headlines. However, this particular mod REQUIRED use of an emulator and could not be used with actual hardware - emulators being another area that Nintendo strongly disapproves but won't quite get them to use their lawyers so long as there are no headlines - but there is yet another catch, the emulators the mod is compatible with are NOT compatible with disk drives and cannot run Melee from a disk - using them requires copying Melee from the disk to the internal memory of the computer the emulator is on, and THAT is where the issue arises, because in Nintendo's view (and indeed, under Japan's anti-piracy laws) that constitutes piracy - piracy required to participate in the tournament.
    So their lawyers sent the organisers of the tournament a warning that they would be getting a Cease and Desist notice restricting their ability to stream or upload the tournament sent to them if they went ahead with what they were planning ... and the tournament organisers basically responed with "F U", and otherwise ignored Nintendo. At that point Nintendo's lawyers went ahead and sent them the Cease and Desist order covering both Melee and Ultimate because the tournament organisers refused to engage with them while acting in a manner that most lawyers would consider "bad faith" ... while also being incredibly rude. It should, of course, also be noted that the tournament organiser in question was for profit, and stood to make quite a bit of money from the tournament.

    I personally use mvm boot camp as a bit of a practice mode. It feels like a nice middle ground between the official practice mode and casual play. It allows me to practice the fundamentals of each class in a stressful environment, though more orderly than in casual. I would find it very annoying if five snipers join my lobby and one shot everything while I just sit on the sideline. As a new player, I simply wanna learn, practice, have fun and occasionally watch half the lobby dance around the room. So the main way cheaters (or bots) would hinder me is by not letting me properly play the game.
    Edit: Damn, have i really been playing the game for more than 8 months already? It feels so much more recent to me.
    I've fallen more in love with mvm, though I only play boot camp so far. I'm a heavy main, but I do tend to play as engineer or scout when needed (either because the current one sucks at their job or because we don't have them). As engineer i tend to put the dispenser near the team and my sentry near an ammo pack. I also tend to use the rescue ranger. As scout, one of my favorite strategies is to max out my fish, speed and resistances. It's funny to me, though I have recently discovered how to use mad milk.
    As heavy i use the gru and panic attack with the brass beast or Natasha.

    This is actually a really interesting video even though I've never played MvM. You see, there is a MMORPG called "Realm of the Mad God" which has a similar problem with cheaters. The game has no PvP elements whatsoever, so many of the points brought up in this video apply to it. The non-action of the devs has lead to large parts of the player base cheating and I'd say well over half of the player base accepting cheating or at the very least not actively condemning it.

    That was incredibly brave of Weezy to both not condemn Basil, but also explain that (at least in Basil's eyes) his intentions are good. Both Tacobot and Pizzabot think they're right, but both sides fail to acknowledge the nuance of the situation in the same way that people who think all cheating is always bad do. At the end of the day, it comes down to a lack of empathy and an inability to understand others that leads to all this toxicity and infighting.
    The REALLY interesting part of all this, is that it shows the biases and selfishness both sides have. If Tacobot ACTUALLY wanted to get rid of Pizzabot, they'd go to Valve and make them realize there's a community of people abusing external programs in their game. If Pizzabot ACTUALLY wanted to get rid of Tacobot, they'd go to Valve and make them realize there's a community of people bullying and harassing users in their game.
    Both groups CLEARLY have a big enough community to get Valve's attention, but they're both so stubborn and blind they'd rather just stick to petty harassment that will never end instead of permanently solving the issue. Remember how Weezy said if all cheaters disappeared tonight, a new batch would show up tomorrow? Well that applies to "bad players" and toxic scumbags too. By doing nothing but kicking new players or harassing Tacobot/Pizzabot, both sides will just be stuck in an infinite, never ending battle with a much simpler, faster solution, that they both choose to ignore because they both genuinely think what they're already doing is right, when in reality, both sides are acting petty and stupid.

That sounds more like paranoid rambling than anything else, but them choosing to instead directly target each other the way they do already not because they are too blind or stupid to realize their opportunity, but simply because they enjoy harassing each other and use that to get their kicks is crazy to think about but at the same time not at all surprising.

      He unfortunately lost a lot of credibility for me with that. That line alone cemented the fact that, regardless of the arguments he’s putting forward, his agenda is purely selfish, even if unintentionally so.
      And sure, you could make the anemic argument that everyone is selfish because everyone wants to have fun, but not everyone is willing to do that at other peoples expense nor at the expense of the game’s integrity.
      Hell, I would even say cheating in solo depends entirely on how the game was designed and meant to be played. Is it a victimless crime? Sure, so there’s really no point in condemning it. But you’re still going against the developers’ wishes and are still delegitimizing the experience, so I would not say that it’s ‘okay’. I’d sooner say people are apathetic about it at best since no one but cheaters and people who’ve never experienced their impact would ever even remotely talk about it positively.
      This isn’t including cheaters who do it purely to grief. Regardless of if you’re doing it to vent frustration or because you find it funny, you’ve got sociopathic tendencies. I’d say ‘reflect on it’, but empathetically challenged folk will sooner dismiss the notion or laugh at it because they’re incapable or just unwilling to self-criticize.

    I'm personally against cheating in MvM because I'm one of those "Philosophically consistent" people. My fun in MvM is relaxing and just shooting braindead robots while I enjoy the power-creep. The loot is a nice bonus every now and then but generally, I get 4 tickets, and just play 3 of the 4 2-cities missions in Mann Up for a while. When I get bored of MvM I finish it up and rinse repeat sometime later. The main problem with cheating for me is it takes away the gameplay from ME. Cheating in a PvE mode isn't something I'm "against" per se, but it's not something I would like to do. I enjoy the challenges of dealing with newer players plus I like seeing if I can break 300k damage on heavy again.

      Yeah, I don't know why but at 17:58 he seems to not care that cheaters make the game boring for philosophically consistent players like you.

      Again. Thats a feeling of preference and everything, as bad as it makes you feel that argument isn't enough to condemn the cheater. Something Something Gas passer moment

      @@luigifan4585 The truth here is that your stance on it doesn't matter. It's valves fault and always has been. Explode on ignite shouldn't have been added for balance reasons, and there should be actual anti-cheat functionality to prevent situations like this from occurring. These would not even be discussion topics if valve did anything for TF2 nowadays, but since the game is largely abandoned except for the obscene amount of money Valve makes from lootboxes and MVM tickets these will likely never be fixed. It's a good thing an anti-cheat update is a possibility right now, but all the stupid shit that happened could have largely been avoided if Valve employees weren't silently punished for working on TF2.

      I don't understand people not liking new players. Sure, they may need time to learn how to be effective, however if these guys who have plenty of tours under their belt, took some time to teach and give advice, then these players may actually be more of an asset than a hindrance. The problem is, at least in my experience, is that other people don't want to take the time to inform others on how to improve. Imagine having a puppy, but not wanting to waste time potty training it, and then getting mad when it shits all over the floor.
      Where was I going with that analogy?

    Two Pyros fighting to airblast a bomb-carrying robot around while a gang war rages on in the background is the most TF2 thing I've heard about in awhile.
