Spam Ping Issue (And Solution)

If a player spams any pings (more than a few times, such as when they spam the banner card), the game should automatically MUTE the player from using ANY pings for a set time. Its VERY ANNOYING and DISRUPTIVE to hear 100+ ping sounds, or ping sounds and "enemy here!", "enemy on me!", "enemy!!".

On top of muting pings, it should also stop animating the ping's marker. (When it flashes as a bigger icon). Seeing pings move a lot is also annoying and disruptive.

Hey there,

Locking this down as @Midnight9746 mentioned, as the original post is quite old at this point.

Thanks for starting up a fresh thread on this especially after the updates to the ping system with the current season. While those changes weren't aimed at addressing this type of behavior we'll certainly continue to pass along feedback as it comes up, much appreciated!

@PJBurrows1991 Due to this being an older thread, its best to create a new one.

Not really sure why its a problem for EA, but old threads that gets a new post like this, ends up being locked.

@Midnight9746 I've already created a new one, but I've lost it haha. Thought I would comment on yours to push it to the top, and give it more XP, so it might get noticed. I just guess the devs don't think it's a problem, they don't care, or the community managers aren't passing on player feedback to the dev team.
