10-year ban for cheats
Cheats in ToF are no longer fun. According to information published on both Twitter account of the game, as well as on its official website, the number of cheaters and their actions significantly disrupt the balance of gameplay.
Moreover, cheaters are also numerous in the Bygone Phantasm mode (which involves defeating waves of enemies), which negatively affects the ranking of participants.
