Re: Looks like cheating is allowed in apex

With this mindset, you're allowed to steal because some thieves get away with it. That's just wrong, I hope you're better than this.

The best way to reduce cheating is to report cheaters every time. We are millions, Respawn , EA/ Origin or EAC can't afford hiring thousands of employees to be able to police every match. 

Another thing, the fight against hackers is really difficult, it's realistically impossible to get rid of them completely. But they did clean hundreds of thousands if not millions of accounts so far, which to me sounds like a pretty good job.

    @Elamami3440 Do you know how many reports are in the queue? Or what are the steps taken from a report to a ban / removal of an account? Is there somewhere a guarantee that a reported cheater will be removed in less than 24 hrs?

    Read a bit about ip and hardware spoofing, you may get a better picture.

    maybe if we beg on our knees, Riot will license out Vanguard, just change the name. then security comes from our PCs and Apex will have all new players and competitive scene

    fix aim assist, level up security, top competitive bg na ez

    @Elamami3440 When an account is deleted, another one can be created with the same or a very similar display name. Hackers do this all the time, and they use spoofing to avoid hardware bans. Also, they modify their hacks often to obfuscate anti cheat systems even more. Therefore, it can take months until some hackers are removed for good.

    @7cyanide I don’t think you understand how anti-cheat works. The anti-cheat systems evolve, so do the cheats. The cheats then become more complex and difficult to detect/ban. It’s a constantly battle.

    @Elamami3440 It's true that respawn is slow with banning cheaters and they should have a team dedicated to banning cheaters but outright saying "cHeAtInG iS aLlOwEd" is the dumbest thing you can say specially when there are threads going around about cheaters crying they won't cheat anymore and/or how they were unfairly banned. Banning cheaters isn't an easy task and can take a long while if done manually(and add all the false reports by salty players and it takes a really long time). Phone number verification could work but then there are tons of fake phone number generators now.

    So in other words, if it doesn't suit us that the game is down because of the cheats, let's leave it at that, there are no solutions. Or "the best solution is no solution". I don't know about you, but I also had a subscription to Origin, I also paid the battle passes, so I put some money into a game in which I advance hard and with few kills and I'm not too happy when I see one appear, out of nowhere, at level 250 for example, with 3000 kills. Something must be done, otherwise this game will fall into disgrace like many others for the same reason.

    @0ld-Adrian We aren't leaving it at that, we are reporting suspicious play almost every time. You need to understand that the solution does not come at the snap of a finger, you have to cope with the truth and acknowledge it's a long term fight.
