How's the cheating situation on CS:GO

[AcidParadox]

I've watching threads and videos regarding cheaters freely doing whatever they want on CS:GO, steam doesn't have any form of moderation (or they just don't care), there's always a guy that bypasses VAC and can use cheats on public and competitive matches and for some reason nobody can't do something about it so they just keep playing for reasons beyond my understanding.

This is one of the reason I have tried to stay away from this game but now that i got interested once again, it's really discouraging seeing this shit people on servers.

are all these stories true? How common do you guys deal with these situations on this game?

Cheaters, at least the blatant ones are mostly found in the higher ranks, although if you're just starting and play your first few MM matches you might get unlucky and get matched against boosters. Up until DMG you don't really see many hackers though

What's a booster?

A cheater who gets payed by players to cheat in MM and boost players ranks by winning

Most serious players play on http://play.esea.net/ so they don't have to play with/against cheaters or retards.
