Since f2p number of cheaters increased. Yes what's described in this post exists. I saw a guy in Hutball scoring and staying behind the line for several seconds but the scoreboard didn't change. There are players that disappear from center and appear instantly in line and score. And of course there are players that their bars don't decrease at all. There are many more examples.
They should do something about it, but people that have to leave WZs due to a crash, will get penalized too.
It's also not nice to get into a WZ that finishes and you see the scoreboard.
Indeed the previous main loading screen was good, much better, and yes it works. It's interesting how they tend to change the things that are good in this game.
