    Will Xbox ever introduce features to prevent the use of banned product modifications (Xims...


    Hello, hopefully this forum can be used for others to voice their complaints and questions surrounding banned product modifications, more specifically, mods used that enable people playing with a keyboard to have aim assist in games.

    If you didn't know, you can purchase a device which essentially acts like an adapter to connect a keyboard to the xbox, the problem however is that it tells your xbox you are using a controller, so when these players play games, they are able to have aim assist while using a keyboard, giving an unfair competitive advantage. If you are a competitive gamer, you would have likely heard of these or may even own one such as Xims and Zens.

    Now while many games along with xbox prohibit the use of these mods, its very rarely punished because its difficult to fully tell that a player is using it. At the highest level of games, many games are unplayable unless you are also using these prohibited mods, this poses a threat to many gamers, and can ruin the experience completely.

    I'm asking Xbox to introduce a features that can prohibit the use of these mods. I'm sure this may already have been thought of, but incase not, why is there not a system to check what kind of device is being used? It sounds obvious to begin with, but keep in mind, controllers already have IDs and remember data about the users, could there not be a system where your console validates that you are using an xbox official controller? The argument against this is that many people might use third-party controllers, and this might be harder to implement, but could Microsoft not also send out official IDs to big brand companies that allow their devices to also be validated as fair products.

    The benefit is here, with this system, players using mods that connect to the xbox would be deemed as non-registered, while I still believe they should be able to play and not outright ban players for this, but when it comes to game developers, they could have the choice if they only allow registered products to participate in their games, giving game developers the tools to finally be able to have a system that prevents these types of cheaters. This software could be introduced in an update if the capabilities are already there, but if not, in the next console produced.

    While I understand this may seem like a cost to Microsoft, a new department may need to be made that organizes this whole process, but if Microsoft really wants to do their part to prevent cheaters in games, this is the next step, the future of gaming. I understand I am only one person, with a rough idea of how this could work, but hopefully this brings up a meeting or two, to discuss this idea higher up, by people who could think this through better then I could and potentially implement a system to prevent this.

    The issue of these mods is relatively new in the grand scheme of things, but I assure you that it will only become more popular over time, it is best to nip this problem in the bud before the community using these mods become so large that implementing a change like this would cause even more outrage from the cheaters themselves who spent real money to gain a unfair competitive advantage.

    Thank you.

    :)

    Will Xbox ever introduce features to prevent the use of banned product modifications (Xims and Zens)

    There is currently no way for them to be banned

    Microsoft already takes steps beyond most platform holders by including security chips in their peripherals, which are required to authenticate with the console,which mitigates, not prevents the problem by presenting additional obstacles.

    Unless it is a Microsoft owned game, you will need to talk to the developers of the game for how they are attempting to detect and mitigate cheating devices. The best place to detect cheating is on the server side, and they own and/or control those servers. Xbox Live is an authentication and matchmaking service, and even if they are renting the servers from Microsoft, MS is only responsible for keeping the technology working, not the programs running on it

    If you see someone cheating, report them using the guide, and also use any in-game reporting systems available. They have to know who to look at

    Can you get permabanned if you use a modded controller

    You can get banned for the modification of ANY Microsoft Xbox 360 product

    Come Back, Legally

    As stated above, using an xbox 360 with ANY unauthorized modification is against the TOS and is subject to action taken by microsoft. Penalties include (but not limited to) banning of said console and account banning. To prevent yourself from running into
    this problem, buy a new console from a reputable dealer.

    THIS CENSORSHIP IS DISGUSTING

    Make sure all the content currently on the console has been paid for. An exploit currently being used by people does not require modification of the console. Also console modifications are not the only reason for banning a console. Have you ever experienced
    the helicopter on Uno? They ban consoles for many things.
