Re: EA doesn't seem to be keen on anti-cheat

What's the point in EA banning someone's account if they are caught cheating?  They'll just create another.  As recent examples have shown.  So many helo and jet cheats right now.  Don't they ban based on hardware hashes any more?

Just played a match on the new map. This guy was using an AR. I really don't think that EA is issuing any bans at all. It's beyond pathetic.

If you check online, they seem to ban HWID. This method works just as effectively as the anti-cheat, or not well at all, if you say so.

These addicts, who must boost their ego every day will not stop playing just because they happen to get banned.

No, as with any addict, they always trying to find a solution to how they can continue to cheat, or as in this case, the addiction to boost egos, because that's what it's really about.

And today it's not hard to find these "dopamine" dealers" online, who provide them with what they want .

I mean, this got out of hand a long time ago, and it's easy to draw parallels to the casino industry here. Where the gaming companies indirectly, with their ineffective anti-cheats, benefit from something that should really be classified as an addiction.

I believe powerful AI is the only way to get rid of the worst cheaters, but don't think the technology is developed enough to work commercially yet, as it would probably ban so hard, that only us in this thread, would be the only ones who would be happy about it.

Some Streamers accept donations on their YouTube channel and then use the money to pay for their cheat subscriptions.

Reported this guy when he was at about 60hours of gameplay, now he has 89 hours, still cheating the [Edit: swearing removed] out of BF2042, EA doesn't do anything right now...

Dedicated Servers with administrators and in less than 2 weeks every cheater have no server to join.

Btw, that youtube video contained some of "faked" users. And problem is, EA is banning for trash talking, not for cheating. Or in better perspective: Trash talking will get you faster banned than cheating. :/

Edit: I do understand that its hard to spot esp, but tanks turrets going 90 degrees and obvious headshots rate still doesn't seem to ban ppl. So far what ive reported, havent seen any confirmation of user getting banned.  Also i have proof that there are offensive named that got reported and get message that " this time we did not take any actions."

Yes, from all owned (bought) games.

Just checked EAs "user agreement", they practically own u, the games (even historically).

But since i live in EU, some mumbojumbo dont seems to be fully Applicable here, (dont dare say what yet) 🙂

Just to clearify, i couldnt care less if banned at 2042 for obvious reason, but that EA ban u from other bought games... hmmm.
