Banned for being harassed (Please stop forcing us to play with terrible people)

Been playing Respawn games since Titanfall and have fallen in love with Apex since it dropped. One thing I really think the makers need to reconsider is penalizing people for quitting in ranked. I get it sucks when people leave but you also force us to play with people who are terrible to us then they use it as a tool to harass us. Case in point, Yesterday I was playing ranked ranked on Xbox with randoms and got one of those teams where that were toxic as hell. I downed a whole team except one. They shot the last guy who was already cracked when I finally got downed. They not only took all the stuff from everyone I downed but also waited for me to die then stole my stuff to. When I asked "what the hell was that?". They called me every name in the book while also refusing to re-spawn me. Then proceeded to waited out the whole matching talking smack and both died with barely any damage made. After they reported me for saying " wtf stop stealing my stuff". Now I'm banned for 3 days. Like I did nothing I was being called names and made fun of while they stole all my stuff. I'd quit but I can't. Now I'm banned for three days for being reasonably frustrated. They told me to go f*ck myself half a million times then reported me for responding to them. If I don't play with people I know or make a group gathering like-minded people in advance I get stuck in scenarios like this. Now I got wait 3 days for getting stuck with level nobodies who enjoy messing with people rather than play the game. Maybe penalize people for quitting pre-made groups and not randoms cause nobody should be punished and wait 9 minutes for leaving a match where someone was being a total j*rk to them.

    @happyknifeguy Hey, if you see bad behaviour, please report it and don't engage or retaliate. Retaliation that's outside the rules can still lead to action. 

     
    I know it's frustrating dealing with bad actors and trolls - I've encountered plenty, but the best course of action is to report them and keep yourself in good standing. 

    @RevMainPls That quite simply is not the case. Please don't assert so, it's misinformation. 

    Thanks.

  • @happyknifeguy It sucks but you kind of have to walk on eggshells with this game it seems. If possible just screenshot/record any serious behavior and use that as evidence when you report, and I would use the EA website report feature even if they are on the same platform as you because it seems to be better as far as response and investigation.

    @MyName1sNotJohn yeah I think I'm done playing ranked with randoms until they give us a better option. I can't take getting screwed with so someone can report me for swearing. LoL the guy told me to f my mother like 50 times and but I sorry I said swear word once in chat. Guess I'll sit in the corner for 3 days for getting frustrated.
  • @E9ine_AC realizing this the hard way. Like I said I think I'm done playing ranked unless I'm using pre-make teams cause I can't stand being trapped with people who are horrible for sake of being horrible. I honestly think this person was messing with people to see if they could get rise out of them and get them banned. Like they jumped up and down over me and let me die then stole my gear. All while talking smack. Unprovoked. At any rate the 9 minute penalty got me not wanting to play a quick game cause I know it's a 50/50 chance I'm going be with someone who's going act vindictive and evil to their own teammates.
  • Hi

    Yeah EA blows they should read what happened right before you were reported for so they can see 

    how some of these players report you after they abused you to the point you reply in kind.

    Im guessing they used voice and you used text to answer. That is text book luring to get something caught in the logs to report you. You know you can mute team 🙂 Much better feature. I learned to only use text chat for one thing... 'gg' Thats one isnt bannable 🙂

    Dont let yourself get pulled into anything when the toxers come.

  • @Zkepz Good advice. I've been OK with "nice" and "ty" so far! No one stays on the end screen long enough on console for gg's.
  • @Zkepz i've had my incoming voice muted for months now

    because of this.( I learned the hard way too) If i see the mics

    flickering i'll usually just let them

    know I keep my team muted.

    A couple players have left as soon as I say it.

    HOCUS POCUS TROLLS BEGONE!
