Let's talk about Cheats

Looks like cheats are ramping up. Most matches nowadays contain at least 1 cheat. It's sad that hack sites make more money than the actual publishers or developers, usually due to their subscription...

I'm playing apex in Japan.

Cheaters are increasing in very high speed and most of them are Chinese (because most of the cheat software are sold in china and advertised in chinsese.)

Furthermore , I Just met two bots which advertises cheats in a low.(WHICH WAS ALSO CHINESE)

These happens when I'm playing in Tokyo server.

I think EA need to block access from China or limit them to server in china.

If that counts as "Discrimination", maybe EA can limit all players in the world to play in their country's server (like Japanese player to Tokyo server only).

sorry for poor vocab and grammar.

Hey all,

We know cheating can be very frustrating to come across in all sorts of games and Respawn is dedicated to combating it. Here's a quick write-up from one of their previous check-ins.

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.
