Please ban xim user for fair gameplay

A lot of people in JP/Asia server using xim + marco to make them aim good and fight close range without any recoil

These people are making the normal MNK or normal console player looks dumb because we don't have 0.6 aim assist plus the movement of MNK

And some players even selling their xim config on YouTube & Twitter, saying they can get to Predator with their config

To me, these kind of behavior is no difference to brutal aimbot and wallhack because it gave them unacceptable advantages which the normal player can't have

unless EA say they can accept the pro-players to use xim in ALGS, or giving us the same aim assist in MNK, if not I think they should get banned ASAP

Anyone agree with this? Or we all should join the xim family?

    I'd assume the issue with this is rather that XIM is relatively hard to detect.

    I'm seeing some other games test some new tech, as example, R6 is going to put project "Mousetrap" to the test.

    Not sure how well this will work as this is still being tested and relatively new.

    It's entirely possible that this will be easier to work against in the future, though right now it seems unlikely to see any big developments.

    @redsunschan I did some "quick" research and found this device is already a banned device by Sony for the PS5. I watched a rich boy gamer on YouTube bypass the Sony ban using a secondary controller and some USB hookups. The method to get this device banned from Apex would be to contact EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) and report it to them. Assuming EAC can identify this device in use, then the XIM controllers people bought become pointless overnight. However most of those people who can afford the controller will just bypass the detection using hardware hacks.

    This device is the next generation of cheating. The software driver is about the only way to detect the usage, and the biggest struggle will be getting Microsoft XBox and EAC on board with the bans. As I said, Sony has this controller already on their cheat list. Once EAC adds this device, it will then be optional for EA and Respawn to include it as well.

    I am not one for the, "If you can't beat them, join them." and buying the XIM + another compatible controller to run a bypass is going to cost people. This is NOT a hardware device everyone can afford, it gives the user an unfair advantage, and thus an obvious cheat.

    The XIM webpage has a promo video showing it used on Apex. I would like to ask the EA legal department, did they get permission for using your IP? I doubt it... Sick'em lawyers!

    "Or we all should join the xim family?"

    Or get Respawn to remove recoil from every weapon in the game. Problem solved.

    @matzesingt I figured as much, they have to keep those rich boys happy, since they have more money to throw at the game.
