Toxic Player Base
I've only been playing Apex for a few weeks, but I uninstalled it last night. The last 2 days, basically since the word spread about the hitbox discrepancies and other related bugs, I've been insulte...
Regarding toxic players in Apex, its just the same as in every other FPS games. Tension, frustration, agression mixed with "no life" PC gamers always comes with toxic players. I did not see more in Apex than in the BF series. Maybe less Apex players are taking the games seriously as it is free, they did not pay for it....
But yeah, unlike in BF2-4 series there are no dedicated community servers with admins and rules and constant community member players who know each other so the self control in Apex (and in BF5) is pretty much zero compared to BF2-4 games where the community was and still is strong, it does have strong filtering and control on its community and the random players too (kick, ban, vote etc) where your NAME MEANS something on the server, it is your face which you do not waste....
EA has killed the COMMUNITY and most of the fun element in BF5 and Apex, that is the issue! You play with your mates or you are screwed... ON BF4 servers you know each other each round and know what to expect from whom, know their skills etc... Bf2-4 are competitive community based games while BF5 and Apex are arcade ad hoc rounds if you do not play it with your friends, but still the enemy is random mess mainly noobs without leaders.

Don't agree with this at all.
Almost all of the Rando's on BFV that are on coms are chill people.
BF generally has always had a more mature playerbase because the game itself does not encourage toxic play styles and behavior.
