That sounds incredibly satisfying. But it's a rare player in this game who can consistently distinguish between a good player and a cheater. EA would have to rent an entire new server farm and hire hundreds... maybe thousands... of people just to look through the reports. And I'm not convinced that they could make any better calls than us as to who is actually cheating and who isn't.
But I'll tell you this, and apologize in advance if this is something you'd rather not hear: As a console player I feel like 70% of the questionable behavior I see ends up being a PC player and it's almost always motion rather than aim. If Respawn would segregate the lobbies, a fix that would cost them nothing, then a huge part of MY cheater issues would go away.
Honestly man that's not true PUBG, has been recording their game plays for years and when you report a hacker they go by the specific part where you reported the hacker they go back and view the recorded game from a couple mins and determine if the person is cheating or not, without the hiring of hundreds and thousands as you speak. Just Apex is lazy could solve this hacker's issues really easy maybe they should consult PUBG on that aspect to the solve the hacking issues for us legit players.
"PUBG, has been recording their game plays for years"
Not the years that I played it. It was a sewer of cheating then and at that time nobody lifted a finger to do anything about it. And if you're seriously telling me that the dev tackled a problem of that scale by combing through game footage by hand and making judgment calls about the veracity of each and every claim... with what? A half a dozen employees devoted to game integrity? Then okay. I guess. I guess I can't search YouTube and find hundreds of creators talking about how cheaters have completely taken over every fps out there including pubg. I guess I can't go into pubg tonight, right now, and get dropped by a single bullet, not even a half a clip, a SINGLE BULLET, from a guy I was shooting in the back and who did a snap 180 degree turn and pulled the trigger ONCE. Or if I did, I could report him, and someone would look at the footage in a timely fashion and ban the offender? Sure. Sure I could. Sure they would.
I just read through pubg's own description of their anti-cheat efforts,
and I'm not sure what to think. They certainly say all the right things. Kinda reminds me of Respawn in that regard. And yes, they claim to review reports by hand. I would love to know the size of the team they have on that problem. If it was Respawn we were talking about then that manual review team would have to number in the hundreds. It just doesn't seem realistic to me. But, if pubg is, as you say, solving the problem then I stand corrected. It certainly wasn't the case when I played it, but I'm glad if it's better now.
