Cheaters, farming bots and more...

farming bot leveled account level 60 for 100 Russian ruble(1.5 USD) being sold online.  

Logitech mouse anti-recoil script with programmable AI, sold for 5 bucks. 

Bugged account with at least 300 Apex packs sold for 300 Russian rubles. 

EA never cares about anything.

  • On the SA server, cheaters are only banned when they try to become professional players. Before that, the player can become a streamer and cheater until he gets tired. I've been saying this for 4 years and nothing changes.

    On the console, then, there are players who stick hardware between the joystick output and the console... the AIM ASSIST crutch is no longer enough, it still uses cheating for recoil control.

    On PC it's aim and wall cheating.

    Cheaters now add data so they don't get exposed... and you don't even need to.

    I have met so many cheaters in Mixtape mode. Because in-game report function never work and EA doesn't even bother to get cheaters banned. So i captured video for them to see how cheaters aim and play. EA just dont care. I have opened cases to report cheaters with video and pictures. I also have direct evidence to prove that those cheaters are using third party software to unlock in-game skins while they dont own any of those. EA just dont care and closed my cases. Those cheaters are still in game. 

  • I personally believe that it is challenging to prevent the Logitech mouse anti-recoil script with programmable AI.

    After all, it is executed through hardware, and Logitech is an internationally renowned company.

    If we were to add it to the ban list, it would likely lead to numerous issues.

    The only option seems to be detecting it through game data.

    However, since it mimics the actions of a normal person, it is difficult to detect. It is indeed a difficult situation, but it must be addressed.

    Moreover, having such assistance is not beneficial if the player's aiming skills have not reached a certain level.

  • @TPE_Ashaqi I think the issue is not even identification. Today the number is so large that even identifying it, they would not have the courage to ban it. There are already so many people playing with cheating, that it would be the end of the game... It's been playing with cheating for so long that there are players who think they are really good.

    @3viirgula14 I agree with your statement, but the dilemma we are facing now is whether or not to make a strong, decisive move. If we choose to go ahead, it will definitely affect many innocent players. I believe the game developers are also in a difficult position. There should be a way to detect cheating, but it's challenging to differentiate between genuine player actions and those achieved through illegal means. Nowadays, many games have cheaters, including well-known ones like Valorant, which even has a kernel-level anti-cheat system. Yet, it still fails to completely stop cheat vendors. Apex Legends mostly relies on manual intervention, particularly when it comes to the Predator rankings. As players, apart from expressing our complaints, we should also have some faith in the game developers. Let's hope that the gaming environment can improve and I wish you the best.
  • @TPE_AshaqiI have as much faith in Respawn actually fixing the cheating in the game as I do them fixing the match-making, servers,input lag,bugs (some that have been in the game since the early seasons),audio issues etc & that is absolutely zero.

  • @ziqiaowuj lol YEP I just played like 3 games and 2 of which were a complete roll...like they were shooting me as sooooon as I came around the corner...like pre firing...definite aimbot and wall hacks...it's pathetic actually
