[Guide] How to report users and cheaters

I like the idea of report button systems...

....but they never work when run by players.  Most reports are then from people who got mad they were killed, or for some other wrong reason, not because someone was cheating.

If you want players who are doing well to be banned, make a report button system.  Otherwise leave it to screen shots and submitting it under the already existing guidelines.

there is no system about reporting a player , i myself got into such team 2 times where a guy (rank 50 + ) has auto shot + speed hack . 

Pretty damn sure that Easy Anti cheat is totally fail . you guys should hire another 3rd party anti cheat system. 

guess youre not going to address the hackers in the game? just going to let them free roam? should we all download the software to be on a level playing field?

thanks to the twitch streamers your game has taken off yet there is zero development happening on your end. oh i can fill out a report? well what good is that with no replay? 

Having to go through so many loops to report is stupid... I have to find a name (the guy i saw aimbotting todays name was something like IlIIIIlllllIIII (i's and L's)... it was a duo with the same name...

i feel like a rejoin and a report option shouldnt be this hard. again ive only seen like 1-2 cheaters in total so its not a huge thing, but it is irritating dying to that sort of stuff

Step 1: Start charging 50 dollars for the game on every NEW Origin account that gets made after a specific date, starting in June for example.

See if they are inclined make new accounts for cheating after that. EZ FIX.

Step 2: Add report system and an Overwatch system like in CS GO.

Step 3: Make hardware bans instead of account bans.

There are a million ways to ban cheaters but I'll tell you why they don't implement any. It's because they are probably selling cheats for their own game on other non-affiliated websites, banning the players after some time has passed and reselling another batch of cheats. You can see the circle and the money making machine in a FREE to play game these days.

From Respawn's 3.8.2019 check-in:

CHEATERS

As of today we’ve banned over 355K players on PC through Easy-Anti-Cheat. The service works but the fight against cheaters is an ongoing war that we’ll need to continue to adapt to and be very vigilant about fighting. We take cheating very seriously and care deeply about the health of Apex Legends for all players.

We are working on improvements to combat cheaters and we’re going to have to be pretty secretive about our plans. Cheaters are crafty and we don’t want them to see us coming. With that said, we can share some high levels things we’re doing:

• We are reaching out and working directly with experts, both within and outside of EA, in this area that we can learn from.

• Scaling up our anti-cheat team so we have more dedicated resources.

• We are adding a report feature on PC to report cheaters in game that goes directly to Easy-Anti-Cheat.

@bigssp> I think that best solution is to record it - video. There are many ways, many programs to do that. Have one ready during game play, hit record shortcut any time you need.

Ok. I just played a game in which my ally would not stop calling me a c**t repeatedly throughout the game and to die and a heap more profanity. How do I report this player for swearing over mic if the games now over and he had a very long character name that doesn't contain words therefore cannot remember? How do I look at recently played with profiles to be able to report this player now? I'm actually pretty amazed this isn't obvious in game if they have indeed added it in game as they claim. 

At the end of the game I stated I would report him and he said "go ahead I will never be banned for this". Is he right? Because I can't even find a manual method of reporting this player now...

Well it looks like they put this in the game now a day after I posted. Able to view last squad profiles and able to report from there. This is pretty late into release to have a simple report team mate method from within game. The report opponent is very difficult and awkward and still no death cam? C'mon people.

@ BiG_sp

Considering the very high number of cheaters that this game can boast and the total ineffectiveness of the anticheat software, which is more easily bypassed than a camping table, it is normal for the stoics who insist on playing without taking a cheat suspicious of everyone .
If it is true that using cheats is allowed by the Dev's, and this fact is incontrovertible, otherwise the cheaters would rarely be very few and no more than 75% of Apex users, so it is also legitimate to insult exactly how to use cheats.
Until there is a serious and functioning anticheat the problem will remain and I repeat the fault is not of the users but of the Dev's.

Wake Up !!!
