The game would be better off without them.

But I just don't see the reason for caring at all about the global leaderboards.

Maybe I'm conditioned to care less about the leaderboards by coming from PC, where botting was traditionally rampant and the game existed for a good while before the leaderboards were a thing.

And the only way it could affect you, realistically, is in the already meaningless global leaderboards. You don't want them to have the items because you believe it's wrong even though it doesn't affect you. They are probably carrying a handful of sycophants in exchange for the attention their ego requires.Īlso the aspect of earned vs stolen items But the handful of people doing this aren't really playing pubs as far as I can tell. If someone popped into a pub group on opening weekend and tries to open a gr150, I'd probably cancel and look at their gear. Even during that one season where crazy hacked items were all over the place (apparently a rebirth glitch that allowed importing non-seasonal to seasonal?). I've played countless pub games on console and never once had an experience ruined by hackers. Public groups are stay away because of edited save game players
