Me personally id rather play my part and help rid the game of cheaters by sending video clips to Conor. There are only soo many on the cheat team with 500k + players, So yea reports will take some time to be proven without assistance of players.
Its either players help get these people banned or you can wait months for the report to land in their laps. Or you can record said cheaters and have them banned on the spot by Conor.
It isn't the players' jobs to police cheaters.
But players do have the option to go play a game that does a better job of catching cheaters and preventing cheaters.

@Irres169You are right to a point. But this is the company actually trying put in effort any way they are able to. Their rented service of Anti Cheat only detects specific things. The company relies on their rented service to stop these. So the company has added other measures in place to do what anti cheat cant.
So no its not up to the player. But is a player truly tired of cheaters to not report? No need to complain about cheaters if not trying help the company find them. As I've said there are only soo many on the cheat team.
So with this being said. How would you handle this situation? Having maybe at most say 12 people on cheat teams to handle 500k+ players. Millions of false reports millions of harassment cases. There is a lot that comes into it that no one ever thinks about. Imagine you having this job. Having to check thousands of reports a day. You think you could do it? Doubt it. Over all its either help or play with cheaters the choice is yours.- 5 years ago
First I would start by removing the developer approved cheat called "Aim Assist"
All it takes is 2 programs to fool it into thinking you are using a controller. (No I will not list them, but anyone with a brain can figure it out)
Secondly I would actually look at cheat reports and take action on them. I would use stats to determine who to watch. The data does not lie.
Third I would opt out and get a better 3rd party anti cheat when the current one is not working. Look at companies that can keep their games clean, learn from them.
I am tired of cheaters, but I am MORE tired of reports that don't do anything. The problem is the company doesn't care. Not that cheaters are so elusive.
The Illusion of Anti Cheat is pretty depressing.
This attitude that the onus is on the players, allows companies to be lazy about it.

"Over all its either help or play with cheaters the choice is yours."
No that is my point, those are not your ONLY 2 choices.
Choice 3 is play a game that does a better job of removing cheaters.
If EA/Respawn can't do the job, they should not have customers.
Would you buy food with mold on it? And then fill out paper work to report the mold. Then have some lazy person come look at it to determine if it is really mold?
No you wouldn't.
Why is this any different?
- E9ine_AC5 years agoHero+@Irres169 Perhaps you missed the part where I said the company rents a service that is suppose to do this. Anti cheat is the one failing us the players not the company. They pay good money for this service.
You hire a accountant to do what you think is good job they end up investing it in off shore accounts. Who fault is it? The person who hired someone to do a job or the accountant?
