Without punishment, cheaters are becoming streamers!

The absence of punishment since the beginning of the game has encouraged cheaters to broadcast their games. Before, they were content to boast badges (20 kills or 4000 damage). They make a new account, and test their cheaters against the beginners, and this prevents the entry of new players, who end up having a frustrated initial experience. Then they apply the cheat setting to the main account until they reach the Predator. I watch broadcasts from the top players and it is not difficult to find these cheaters working against them. The report button exists, but the community already knows that nothing is done. It looks like the Brazilian police. I fear that the absence of initial punishment has increased the number of cheaters, reaching a large percentage of the players, and now to ban them is to make the overall number of players suffer a direct impact.

I PREFER TO SPEND 4 MINUTES WAITING FOR A MATCH WITHOUT CHEATER to have 15 minutes of play thrown away by crossing with a cheater.

If you don't want to ban it. DRAW UP A BLACK LIST. where we can ban players with whom we don't want to play, and then in the construction of the loby let us know that this blacklisted player is present so that we can go out and look for another match.

    The short side of this story, no one can stop cheaters on PC. The reason is directly why most people like PC, because it's open based. The only company that has a chance, Microsoft. Look up their Pluton chip. Once AMD and Intel start adding this directly to their chips you can expect cheaters to slowly fade.

  • @Popa2caps Stopping is practically impossible. But working to stop the increase in cheaters is possible. South America's servers have no work to do to prevent them from showing up.

    Yes, EA could do more, but that's like wishing for free gold. The best you can hope for would be for EA to make people use a phone number for signing up like COD Warzone PC.

    Video games are a for profit business and coming up with extra resources to find cheaters is one thing, getting rid of them is another.

    No one wants to handle their own security, so they outsource it. Does it always work, no, but it catches the lazy ones.

  • Bro, a lot of streamers acutally already cheat.

    But the thing is, no one asks, no one cares, as long as they bring new players to the game.

    It's a shame but that's how it works these days.

    Respawn is ofc working to stop cheaters. The problem is that cheaters adapt and therefore there will always be waves of cheaters in this game. Respawn manage to block one "batch" of hacks, and the hackers come up with something new that works for a while. Respawn manage to block that one too and the hackers come up with another one and so over and over again.

    Who are those cheating streamers btw?

    @Balladalidila I had a list of names and videos. But you cannot post or speak the name for privacy reasons. They don't have a large number of viewers or fame, but they're on the twitch trying to gain an audience.

    As for Respawn's banning lots of cheaters, I think that's unreal. There is no way to prove it. The easiest way is to open (for real) the community to control cheaters, like collecting videos like CS: GO, or make a BLACK LIST where you are warned that there is a cheat player in the lobby (I think this is easier to do).

    The only way I have found to punish cheaters, is by watching. Some cheaters offer the option to hang up when people are watching, so it's nice to see the guy who hits you with a spray with 5 headshots miss all the shots at the other opponents that he will try to cheat. Sometimes this cheater option is already checked and the guy doesn't even know how to turn it off ... Too many cheaters fall because they don't even know how to configure the cheating program ...
