“Apex Legends 2.0 = HWID bans + Real Support + Role-Based Ranked” 🔥🔥

I can only sign below every word written.

At the same time I understand that for the current Apex player base above said would be hell :D only really honest, truly competitive players would appreciate such game as described and that would be probably <10% of the player base (who most often would not spend even fraction of $ on the game compared to the rest of the player base that come to Apex to have shiny guns, models, tags etc.).

Honestly only viable solution that I would see is some sort of "separate mode" with such rules (to an extent what Faceit is in CS2) for players who are willing to work on the craft in a legit way, smart way.

I would even go as far as leaving pubs and other modes totally unattended in terms of hacker/smurf/boosting as imo pubs and other modes are just there for "fun", run and gun, working / testing some skills. But it never was, should be anything really competitive.

Where attention is needed is streaming/ranked/competitive level = players that will make buzz about the game, create competitive scene, basically invest their lives into making this a carrier for them. In this pool of players hacking/boosting/smurfing basically must be 0 or that should be the goal.

I hope Respawn will have enough resources to make it happen vs continuing current trend of totally shady hacker banning process, 0 communication basically towards general public (just some marketing slogans that say nothing). As for me such practice discourage to put any money into the game given:
a) playing environment is not cleaned up
b) rules are totally unclear / actual practice differ from what's written in rules section
c) at any point in time you can lose your profile without any appeal / review / feedback...just gone and live with that type of scenario

In comparison back in the days I chipped in by making donations to keep game servers up, pay for forums, discord servers (alternatives, discord was not a thing back then) etc. because I liked the game, I like the effort of community to upkeep game environment and battle hackers, have clear communication who got warnings / bans and for what.
