Does apex actually punish cheaters

From the prolific nature of cheating in the game, it honestly appears apex doesn't care if you cheat. There is no compensation for being in games with cheating, and with people spending money on the game you would think that they would. From what I've seen IF(big if) your account is banned for cheating you need only make a new one and presto you are back at ruining the game for others. Many games incorporate anti cheating software, yet it seems apexs players aren't worth the work to do that

    @SkuldorulfCool apex staff not only does nothing to stop cheating or hate speech but they censor the proof of them failing to uphold  their tos.I'll be speaking with the VA and other veteran groups (Regiment) on pulling their support of the game until they do

    @Balladalidila That's not how IP banning works. It bans households, not PCs.
    That would be more along the lines of MAC banning.
    They'd still be able to buy new PCs to bypass the ban.
    That doesn't solve the problem.
    IP banning does.
    Now then, if many people use the same wifi, and someone has created many hacker accounts and got repeatedly banned, then they will ban that IP and no one on that wifi will be able to play Apex.
    Let's say you're in apartments with non-individual wifi and such a case happens to you. At least you'll know you live with a hacker, because they got your complex banned because your complex has everyone using the same wifi.
    That is rare I think, most complexes use private wifi, yes? Each room has its own wifi? Shouldn't be much of a problem then.

    @Midnight9746 I did say "verified cheaters". False accusations leading to online bullying are the reason we can't do it. Cheating in a video game is also not a reason for death threats or other threats of violence, and people would do that. I get it and am just frustrated at EA/Respawn's complete inability to do anything about it.
