Cheating #1 Problem With Game. Actively Kick Players From Lobby

There is nothing more disappointing and fun-killing than to watch blatant wall-hacking, auto-targeting, and movement exploiting, let alone the more obvious 'cheap' botting with speeding and 100% headshot accuracy - and to see nothing happen. No kick, no ban, no protection for other players from toxic cheating behavior - nothing.

This passive approach out of fear of giving cheat creators 'feedback' is absolute lunacy. Protect the game and protect the players actively. Have your anti-cheat system kick players out of the lobby the instant suspicious behavior is detected.

Every day, every match I've played since season 4, there's been a cheater in nearly every lobby. Why do you think so many players are congregating around Fissure East/West? How are there players with 500 kills at only level 50?

On top of that, your account creation process is obviously easily spoofed and manipulated. So many of these cheater smurf accounts keep appearing. The Origin account creation process needs to have multi-factor step requirements to help prevent this exploitation.

I do not care about new content, I do not care about new seasons, I do not care about meta shifts - nothing else matters right now in the face of this cheating epidemic occuring with this game. Make it the top priority for the love of all that is fun.

  • Have same problem here in South East asia. Influx has grown to 80%. Unplayable.

    I have made a post here at forums but they want to shut it down and marked it as spam lol.

    EA needs to listen to complains and do an action. Even streamers have encountered in game problems.

    @BentoChopstx New players are part of the reason, but not as many as you think. It feels like cheaters are more because they don't need to pretend anymore

    What's more ridiculous is that some macro mouse players think they are not cheating because they didnt get banned

  • @Nearielol And for that to be on Mendo's stream of all people's, that really gave me a laugh.

    And also makes me not want to play this game, at all, until Respawn promises to start ACTIVELY booting cheaters, in the moment, and accept whatever drawbacks that implies. It's not worth sacrificing your playerbase that are trying to play the game as it's intended and forced to be victim to this cheating nonsense.

    On EU I see aim bots maybe once or twice a week.

    Today I saw my 1st speed hacker on EU.  ☹️

    Unimaginable how a server-based game can have such shiz netcode as to allow this kind of cheating.

    I thought authoritative clients in multiplayer games was a stupidity that died out around 20 years ago.... back in the days of Counter-Strike & Diablo 1. *sigh*
