This new update is one of the best updates we have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to combat cheating. But it still has its flaws. I do not think that XP levels or service medals should be taken away from the free to play as it doesn't actually add anything to the game. Item drops and Skill Groups absolutely needed to be taken away because of the amount of bots in F2P games. When my sister plays her non prime deathmatch games before this update, every single game had at LEAST 1 cheater in it.
The update doesn't stop people playing the game as other reviews do. It just stops them gaining free items and stop them SEEING ranks. The ranks are still there, they are just invisible. Cheaters can no longer easily infest prime with their botted prime account.
If you like the game you can pay to move into prime. If not then you can still play without ranks for free.
