I am one of the honest players, but differently from many here I have not sunk much money in this game. And time wise, I think I didn't really lose much.
And I'm also lucky: I was never banned, never got a strike.
I play WoWs just because some friends like this game and I value the "social" aspect of it.
Now, one of such friends got his first strike. He only uses modstation (and we know that it's impossible to be banned due to it, RIGHT?) and we use the same mods in it. He is one of those who played a lot longer that I did, investing much much MUCH more money.
To IsKor06's point: honest, all-time players are pissed and angry about this. And all the other bs that Wargaming regularly throws on the table... but I'm digressing.
If you have poor coders that cannot keep up with the cheaters, don't take it out on your player base. They are the ones paying your salary, just to be very clear.
At a very minimum you should offer a tool that scan the system and tells if the account would be flagged (just a yes/no, no need for a more detailed message if that scares you folks so much).
And remember: these people here talk, have fb, twitch, etc accounts and your success as a company depends on them being happy with the service you provide. Give it a thought.
Oh, and yes: asking people to reinstall their O/S for this is amusing to say the least... I guess sense of humor is a requirement for the job.
