Re: Top Warzone players quits over game "saturated with hackers"

@YosenhimenPC player? Most PC games suffer from rampant cheating including games like Battlefront 2 and Battlefield V.

I saw a video from JackFrags talking about it. He keeps having to give up on live streaming BFV due to hackers following him and trashing the game with aimbots and wall hacks. He was playing on PC, and even mentioned he considered switching to console since it basically doesn't happen there. His solution for the hacking and cheating was to implement so many layers of protection that it makes it too much of a pain for hackers to deal with it. Also, aggressively go after sites that sell cheats.

    2 of the top 5 apex predators have been banned recently due to hacking if I'm not mistaken. Respawn needs more hideouts or a better anti-cheating software. A week or two ago, I PM'ed hideouts to report two teams teaming and he didn't even bother checking the video. I'm sure he's getting thousands of reports but we need more people with the same job as him.

    @BaldWraithSimp If you DM someone in twitter, you can actually see if he has "seen" it by clicking on your message. He didn't.

    If 2 of the top 5 preds in PC have been playing for so long that they reached that point and only has been banned a week ago, then that's saying something about the anti-cheat system in the game.

    @Cheese9Man Hideouts has turned off the 'Read receipts' option most likely(99.99 %) so you can't see if he has seen the message or not. The option is under privacy>Direct Message>Read receipts.

    You're correct, though. This isn't a job for one man. Apex Legends is huge, and even if he has all the best intentions and does work diligently (which I have every reason to believe he does) he still can't deal with it all. 

    The suits - or whoever else is calling the shots - need to stop being stingy and just shell out the money to put an ironclad anticheat in place. Even if its multiple programs. 

    It can be done. Look at Dota 2, WoW, or Rainbow Six. God on R6 they annouce every ban throughout every game, every server.
