Are cheaters common?

[Joseph Manney 0]

I seem to run into alot of palyers using esp mods, I am not 100% sure they are but am pretty sure they are. Not to mention, the first time I played the Chernarus map I spawned in to a hail of gunfire right in the middle of Kamyshovo. I didn't hesitate and ran NW towards the the radio tower. After what seemed like forever I arrived at the tower, followed by 2 heavily geared players. I knew there was no chance they saw me flee into the mountains, so I flicked my mic on and asked them if they were using esp. One of them replied "How dare you accuse me of hacking!", I knowing that they, in fact were using cheats replied, "How else did you know where I ran?, Oh well be toxic and kill me, the forum post said to interact with you and get." BANG!!!! One of the geared players shot the other in the head. Then said "I bet that didn't go the way you thought!", I then replied "not at all", I asked again if he was using cheats, and after a short conversation he did admit that he was using esp, and aimbot. This was an offical server aswell! I read a reddit post on how to report these players, and have had nothing but problems trying to do so. I then switch back to US-NY 5084, Need I tell you what happened next? Steam ID: 76561198836253378, About 700m NE of Nadbor, is a base in an old industrial complex. I suspect they may be cheating. Please help me, I really enjoy this game and would like to enjoy it without cheaters.
