From the very beginning of development, our emphasis has always been on the player experience and how good we want it to be. We have great plans for the future of The Division, and for these to succeed we must make sure to provide a smooth high-quality experience. Unfortunately, the gameplay experience was recently impaired by in-game bugs and players violating the rules of the game. In order to bring back a better and healthier environment, we have taken new steps to address the situation.
CHEAT ENGINES
Cheating players have been an issue for a number of you in the Dark Zone, and we’ve heard this feedback loud and clear. We are strengthening our efforts to address this problem, as described below.
First, we have implemented new cheat detection methods that have allowed us to identify many more players currently using cheat engines in the game. We have already caught more cheaters in the last few days than we had in total during the previous weeks. As a result, we will be handing out the biggest wave of suspensions and bans to date over the course of the next few days.
Second, when cheaters are caught, we will now apply a suspension of 14 days on first offense (instead of the previous 3 day initial suspension). Second offense will always be a permanent ban.
We anticipate these two changes will noticeably improve your experience. New upgrades on cheat detection are underway.

Oh boy, somebody in 2016 still rides the ol` straw horse? Somebody pinch me. It was always the get-go wisecrack for lame forum warriors but come on, it`s beyond tedious. Ask a smarter cousin, he might lend you a new toy, some sort of plastic saber to rattle here, perhaps.
What has Quake to do with Ubisoft? Nothing. Maybe because my comment meant to point out that people were always cheating and companies were never able to wipe it out.
But hey, you got your lil` TRUSTED CLIENT MODEL 111111!1 to jerk off to, so let`s not interrupt that bit of fun before bedtime, shall we?

And of course, there was no cheating back in Quake days. No sir. Not at all. All honest folks and companies, back then.

By the time you've realized it, you've played too much to return it.

And will those people burned over TD ever learn something? Will they stop giving into the hype. Will they stop purchasing Ubi games? Will they wait 2-3 weeks before purchasing? Some may be, most of them ... sure as hell NOT. Next hype, next instant purchase, next burn, next whining, rinse, repeat! Emotional dependancy at its worst, right next to people in an abusive relationship who just cannot leave their abusive partners.
This! Above all else this! They keep making turds, gamers keep buying them. As long as you are the typical gaming consumer, preordering left and right, buying games from Ubisoft (hahahahha loser!) this is going to keep going on. So yeah, I don't blame Ubi, I blame people like Slick, who keep buying the next new Shiny, swearing that its the best thing in the world, then quitting in rage after two weeks and crying on these here forums...

Is it really any worse than any other game out there that relies on client side data: COD, BF, etc.?

And the way you made sure of that was to program a game where the client data was trusted? Yeah, that seems legit.
I'm going to say that you had great plans for your wallets, and for those plans to succeed, you programmed the Division as cheaply as you possibly could.

Ahh yes, empty promises. Does nothing to quell the fears that the game will never be fixed because it is totally reliant on client side data.
this, this, a thousand times this.
motherfucking cheat engine. nuff said.

hopefully they fix things soon because i want to start playing since i got a key for this game courtesy of Nvidia and want to be playing sooner rather than later
better download some hacks while you're preparing, or you'll be the only one that doesn't have any. the client/server engineering was just shamefully implemented and I too quit because of it. pretty sure most of the legit players will also drop out soon if they haven't already.
