Well, grab some popcorn and drink, this is going to be a long post.
Zeel is going to fire his opinion 🤔
Well, I don't think Apex isn't going anywhere.
Yes, there is an increase of cheaters if I have to believe the forums and the discord channels I'm in. But then again I see a lot of I've been banned threads on these channels that even link me sometimes to a forum of the cheat seller that is saying his cheat is undetectable.
The Anticheat could use an update, I think we all can agree on this as every improvement to the anti-cheat would be nice.
Even tho I don't see a lot of cheaters in my games/servers I think it still can be improved to make it harder for cheat developers to create cheating software.
I believe the team is doing their best but like always, the team of cheat developers is bigger than the Anti-cheat team.
This will always be the case in big games that are popular and when people are willing to pay big money for private scripts.
When the Anti-cheat catches up with those cheats, other bad guys have already developed another worse script so that an endless battle in online games.
I don't believe a solution to reduce cheating is coming anytime soon, cheating is always been covered up in apex legends lifetime and that's in normal in my opinion.
Releasing Banned cheaters numbers will always fire back as a high number of banned accounts will make rant about the many cheaters on the game.
A low number of banned accounts, people won't believe these numbers and will rant the anti-cheat is too weak.
What Respawn entertainment - Electronic Arts could do but don't have to at this moment in time is a hidden project and release a massive ban wave with a blog post on the status of cheating something was Jagex did in Runescape 3 also known as ClusterFlutterer aka Bot Nuking Day where they released a new version of the anti-cheat banning 98% of all rulebreakers in one single day that they still have under control till this day.
Respawn entertainment - Electronic Arts is amazing in creating Singleplayer games and I think they prove that they can with games like TF(|2) and Jedi Fallen Order.
In my opinion, they lack that bit of multiplayer experience that other studios have but that's alright, there is where we the players come into the story to give positive constructive feedback to help the developers see what we are missing and want to see added into the game. A rant will 99% of the time miss its target and will be overlooked when it's posted, when I'm browsing the forum looking for a chat or something to talk about Apex I sometimes see a not so well written rant that I have to flag but I like to remember myself every angry player is just someone passionate about the game that just want to see that thing changed because he is so invested in it but cannot hold back his anger and I hope more players/cm's share this view.
Apex Legends has still a nice player base and I don't think there will be any drops anytime soon as Apex Proved itself against other battle royals and stands out.
The community isn't that toxic and from what I can see most of us try to help each other with tips and tricks, sharing their opinion or just playing together in the LFG channels or in the Apex Legends Discord, yes we have some bad apples but that's okay, even them deserve a spot.
I hope you understand my point of view and get why I don't always bombard a post with my opinion but prob. going to do it more hehe. 👿
