Players Boosting in Apex

EDIT: By boosting I mean two separate teams teaming up and letting one team do loads of damage to the other. Stat farming, think old COD boosting with tac inserts. 

Is anything being done to combat boosters in this game? In the last week I have seen five different occasions of different players boosting for badges or stats. There is no way to report these people. Is there not a system that could be employed to catch these people? Players like this only seem to get banned if a streamer or content creator reports them or tells the developers. 

I would think, if player A downs player B 10+ times something suspicious is going on and an anti-cheat program could kick the player. The account would get temporarily banned and investigated for a potential longer ban or permanent one. Multiple banned accounts on an IP address should constitute an IP ban.

Also, why is it so easy to get into the same lobby as other people you may be communicating with? Is there really nothing that can be done to stop boosting?

Getting killed by two teams boosting is incredibly infuriating, things like this when unattended to, kill games.

    Not sure if this is detectable by the anti-cheat software but you can still report these players!
    These are against the play fair rule and should get reported when they happen.

    Boosting is not an in-game report option but you can report them by sending a ticket with the EAC report form.

    I recommend uploading your clip to youtube and attaching it to the report form.

    An alternative method is sending the information to RSPN_Hideouts.

    Just one report should do the trick and your report will be investigated.
    Of course appropriate will be taken to the players after investigation. 🙂

    @Balladalidila When you have 5 people scavenging every heal item around, team up 5 vs 3 when encountering hostiles, and having a Lifeline and a Wattson doing their thing, the result is a high damage score for the player being boosted. If I had recordings of the debacle, I'd be more than happy to show you, but I'm just a lowly casual who play for my own entertainment...
