NetEase says Marvel Rivals is getting a new "combat behavior detection system" to punish AFK cosmetic farmers, and shaking its finger with a stern expression, promises "warnings" and potentially "permanent account bans"

Marvel Rivals Season 5 Rogue and Gambit.

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase says it's planning to crack down on players exploiting the newly retooled proficiency system with punishments as severe as permanent account bans.

In a tweet, NetEase warned players against using an exploit that's been around for a long while now, but which has seen an uptick in frequency since last week's update. It's often called "lord farming," and in the simplest of terms, it involves hanging out in spawn and spamming skills to farm proficiency, a process that's been mistakenly expedited due to recent changes to the proficiency system. (In case you're wondering, it's called lord farming because the top prize for maxing out proficiency is the coveted Lord icon.)
