That's just a really good "new Player" LOL.
Did you report them, I hope so, maybe it would get rid of one more Smurf.
@Asmodeus566Have you ever use report function in game in case of cheaters?
Almost immediately after reporting someone for writing $#@& on chat, or for inappropriate nickname, etc., I get an email from EA "Your player report in Apex Legends helped us take action." I don't get any emails when reporting cheaters. Radio silence. Looks like automatic anti-bad behavior works perfectly. Automatic anti-cheat does nothing.
Didn't Respawn say them selves that smurfing is basically aloud? I remember reading the post. Look, we all know numbers impress and keep stake/share holders happy, as it deceives the ignorant.
It just seems hopeless and pointless to tell ppl to report something Respawn Devs already made clear is fine. I've reported dozens and dozens of smurf accounts over the last 3-4 seasons, and I would still see them playing.
I would guess out of all the issues in regards to reporting - smurfing would be by far the easiest to detect. Really simple math here. Yet the smurfs continue to plague without fail.
Could you imagine the drop in the player base if every single smurf account was removed tomorrow! Guess that wouldn't be so good for business.
> "Didn't Respawn say them selves that smurfing is basically aloud?"
Basically yeah. The rule is that we're not allowed to "stomp on the lower skilled players".
In other words, as long as we're playing in the lobbies we're meant to be in, its fine. Although this doesn't make any sense to me because other games, (like Valorant), would ban you for doing this because it would be seen as a smurf account. Its strange that Apex allows alt/smurf accounts in the first place, (while also having a report option for reporting these accounts).
If they care they should add sad emotion. There's no sad emotion on the forum = EA don't care. (this is disappointed emo, not sad ->) 😞
