What's wrong with people?

Some kids were either not given any punishment for being lil [Edit - Admin.] or they are simply sociopaths that can only have fun by ruining the experience of as many other players as possible. It could also be because their life is so pathetic, they cannot achieve anything and thus they feel the need to * others off (you know, like how bullies are 9 times out of 10 children that were themselves bullied as well or mistreated in some way). In a lot of cases, I would say it's failed parenting.

I know origin temporarely locks you out of BFV if you change your hardware too much for it's liking so I don't understand why hardware ban cannot be done similar to how blizzard deals with cheating on Overwatch. I just hope we eventually have real life laws made against video game cheaters korea style with real life punishment for cheaters tho that will take a while and will require a way for video game companies to know your personnal information like live location and such. Maybe one day, a game will ask you to log in with your IRL infos, making it a lot easier to track down potential cheaters if anybody dare cheat but yeah... sounds like a sci fi movie lol

If you suspect a player may be playing unfairly you can use the steps detailed at the following link to report them.

Thanks.

Since the game is free to play, I think that will not help. You need to work on anti cheat. I think it is video game developers nowadays problem as well. We need something more efficient for those cheaters

Proof or just anecdote?

Also it's fun for them because they think it's funny or makes them look like good players.. how is that not obvious?


Regarding the company working on AC, they may have their own things in place but it's clearly using EAC. No matter who is in control of anticheat, there will always be cheaters in every game and it isn't possible to 100% block all cheats. It's a constant struggle between anti-cheat implementation and cheat creation. It always has been this way and always will. You need to accept that in online games there are going to be a certain amount of cheaters. Hopefully the large majority of your games don't have them.

As others have said @EA_Barry , making another account after your account was banned is easy to do as the game is free therefore, even if one cheater is reported to the point he gets banned, he will simply make another account worry-free in a couple of minutes. Better anti-cheat, for a f2p title, is mandatory if you don't want legit players to leave the game in flocks due to frustration induced by cheaters.

@TSF_VindictiV 

Appreciated and acknowledged.

@TSF_VindictiV But we don't know if a "better anticheat" is actually that urgent because we don't know how many cheaters exist (if any at all). I don't recall EAC being a poor solution and this game just came out so people are undoubtedly creating cheats for it, especially with it's popularity. Time is needed.

@sneakwastakenn  For every obvious rage-cheater, there is a dozen of subtle cheaters making their best to be hard to spot (using say only ESP/wallhack and not an obvious aimbotter). It's been this way for every single online FPS title. New game, old game alike. Difference is, between full price titles and F2P, well you would know: the price. Getting caught and banned in a f2p title is a LOT less punishing (read: none at all) than if you payed 60$ USD. That right there is already an incentive against cheating. Without it, people don't fear any repercussion. Maybe now you haven't seen any cheaters, but look (just google or search on youtube) how bf5 is already riddled with cheaters and that game isn't even f2p. 

That reply has nothing at all to do with what I said. I didn't dispute that there's no cost to a free game.

An in game report system would work a lot better mate, the majority of people won't report through the EA site.
