BAN THE APEX PREDATORS AND "PRO STREAMERS"

There is no way. that these people legit climb such high ranks with ease. They just have a mouse capable with macro and run scripts like this below. Giving you no recoil, you just have to be good...

@Monacoian There is no such thing as legally reducing recoil. To alter the games mechanics is a bannable offense via TOS written by this company.

You may not alter any type of mechanic that is game altering and or advantage over other players this includes recoil scripts completely removing the games biggest mechanic.

They are not PRO when they have to have scripts do the work for them.

@E9ine_AC I guess the companies that make these mouses are the same ones that pour a lot of money into gaming companies so they don't block their software. Let's assume that people with gaming mouses (macros) are in the highest position in the company and are untouchable and people with a normal $ 10 mouse are their employees. This is the hierarchy, whether you like it or not but still you and 200 other people who don't like that there are macro players against 5-6-7 thousand streamers, and professional gamers who promote their games, which bring new players into the games and which make people buy different products. If you do not understand the meaning, I will say it in other words - people with a gaming mouse are people with luxury sports cars, and those with normal mouse are those who do not have such cars. Too much money is invested in mouses and games to prevent 200 people to stop such an industry.

@MonacoianQuite sure they dont make these mouse specifically for players to exploit and alter a games mechanics.... I even use these mouses when coding.... It allows me to insert sections of code by click etc. So they are built for a wide range of use. Not to exploit games mechanics.
Just because the mouse can do such macros does not mean thats how the game intended these devices to be used on their platforms. They intended for fair game play and instead get players who exploit their mouses abilities to exploit games. There is a difference in right and wrong and you are trying to justify a major wrong...

  @E9ine_AC You didn't get me at all. You're like an ant, and anyone who takes advantage of the features of their gaming mouse is a BIG BOOT.
  If you are so upset that people with nice gaming mouses use the software for their benefit, why don't you file a lawsuit against EA, Razer, Logitech, BenQ, Bloody and etc ??? Writing here "Oh, they are not professionals, they take advantage of their mouses" and stuff like that will not stop people to use macro or EA to block them.

    @Monacoian If its allowed then why have there been bans in the past for specifically macro and scripting? It has happen before on apex.... Yet its allowed? Read the terms of service.

  A macro capable mouse cannot be banned on a software level. The Logitech G502 and many others have onboard memory. That means it requires no software to function. Theoretically it could run any macro and it would appear like it was manually done. This could never be fully blocked without also blocking any other player that aims well. I think using macros takes the fun out of the game. Having no recoil or rapid firing is lazy and I prefer having full aim control rather than using a macro that may or may not function properly.
  That being said, the actual wall hack, aim bot, lag switch hackers on PC have forced me unto Xbox. Xbox has very little cheating with the exception of the XIM, Titan2, etc that plagues Predator lobbies. Some predator streamers on console even admit using them.
  *In the end its just a game. Go outside and play if it makes you mad*

    @Pallo420 There are many post on these forums of players asking why they have been banned for scripting and using macro. Most likely openly admitted they used it or some form was seen they did use it and justified a ban.
    
    So when those bans did happen it most likely was a sure cut case cause they indeed was banned for doing so. Just cant catch them all i suppose.
