Petition to Facepunch Studios: Stop Fake, Botted Servers in Rust

The Issue

The integrity of Rust's server browser is under threat. For over three years, fake, botted servers have compromised the player's experience, distorting the game's environment and frustrating genuine server owners.

These fake servers flood the server list, making it difficult for new, legitimate servers to be discovered and causing server owners to lose potential new players. Additionally, these fake servers are being used to maliciously target players by enticing them to buy fake server kits or other store packages, as well as opening up other potential issues such as IP grabbing.

Our gaming community deserves an authentic and fair environment. The botting issue has been persistent, leading to significant problems for players and server owners alike.

We need Facepunch Studios to take immediate action to address this critical issue by improving the server browser and eliminating fake servers.

Sign this petition to urge Facepunch Studios to implement the necessary changes to maintain a genuine and enjoyable gaming experience for all players. Let’s ensure that Rust remains a game where fairness and authenticity are upheld.
