Rank Hack & Botting
I purchased a private aimbot to have legitimate stats with a matching rank. However, I got bored very quickly and set 10th prestige, max level, all titles/emblems, etc. should I just not log in and see what happens? Is there a good chance my stats will be reset? I don't care a whole lot about stats, but would like to avoid being banned even though using both together is probably asking for it especially the way I play. I'm wondering if I should go easy and play very little just to see if my stats and account will be safe. I won't appear at the top or near any leader boards, didn't customize any stats.
From my understanding, you are unlikely to be VAC banned for using rank/stats hacks (as long as you follow the maker's instructions carefully); I've yet to find a case whereby someone gets banned solely based on rank/stats hack. However, those who make outrageous changes will likely get their stats reset.
On the other hand, using aimbots, wallhacks and other hacks of this sort will likely get you a VAC ban sooner or later.
