I.P. Sweeps for Smurfs/Boosters/Hackers

Since being quarantined is the new, I decided to get a few of my friends off of Warzone and onto Apex Legends(of which they've never played before). 7/10 games we ran into smurf accounts that rolled over us(them). Now guess what.... my friends are back onto Warzone. With Apex's system(SBMM) I can honestly say that they are producing a toxic player base, because those of who that can't handle where they are now; will just create a new account. Over and Over and Over and Over. This is why I say I.P. banning should be something to consider for the one's that abuse the system. Or you know... get rid of SBMM and just keep it in ranked, because it's called Ranked. #Ranked. Especially when they just lost players who have loose wallets, like my crew. Even a lot of Apex groups I follow on social media are tired of it. What sucks is I love Apex, but they all play Warzone, so guess who's playing Warzone atm.

You aint wrong. Even the. PRO apex discorded decided to leave apex in the dust because in apex's current state, its only a matter of time before this game is a fossil.

I agree. This game bacame * since it's so easily hackable from what i see. And lots of new accounts in every game.
I played on the 1st map at the begining and it was awesome. I could actually win games pretty decent.
With the new map with is trash btw also the hackers started building up.
This game deserves to die and maybe we can move on to something that is better built.

Their anti cheat team needs to retire for utterly failing. Worse 1000 bucks I have ever spent on a video game for entertainment. Little did i know the laugh was on me.

@E9ine_AC I've had two friends who got banned for literally doing nothing. Yet all these hackers get away with everything lol

@E9ine_AC Im surprised Fortnite and Apex even still use EasyAntiCheat it appears to be the most useless software in history at stopping hackers

@IchorofGods I think they should just stick to hardware banns because im pretty sure an IP bann can be tricked with a VPN but I may be wrong about that Ive never been banned so idk

New accounts spawning is a very common problem for free games. Once they had to pay bucks for making a new account they'd have stopped making.

This is going to sound a little scummy, but what about queue separation based upon ownership of the battle pass?
It'd create the pay wall necessary to keep most cheats at bay, while not completely abandoning the free to play model.
It'd also motivate legitimate players sick of encountering cheats to invest in the game.
As the battle pass rewards make it self-funding (for the moment), it wouldn't be criticized too harshly for being a subscription service.
Downside is it'd demotivate Respawn's efforts in fixing the cheating epidemic.

@TheJumpingJawa Invest? I have put over 1 grand in 5 months time into the game. I also being a game creator,coder,designer,programmer have also told them quite a lot ways to bypass the cheats and build logs for them to stop them and how to stop them. No one listens no one responds no one asks questions. How much more should I have to invest to not play with cheaters? I truly * love this game it is by far the best shooter I have ever played in over 30 years. Doom and Duke Nukem being my first games. Now I am 1 person out of around lets say on the very small end from its recorded 70 million players at peek to say just 20 million today. If i have dropped 1k in 5 months time how much more have 20 million put in with absolutely zero results?
