Cheaters in China are everywhere.

Someone has to do something.

I've been living in China for 3 years, and I started playing Apex Legends about a week or two after it's launch, something amazing happened, inside the huge quantity of players in Asia,

I came across someone who speaks not only English but also my native language. We won that first match and we started playing together non stop. But then... Oh god, cheateas...cheaters everywhere! It spread faster than a virus. 

In every match, there was a cheating team, or more... it was imposible to play or enjoy the game in anyway. We reported so many people, but we never got a notification saying that the report has been checked and a ban was aplied... so we just quit.

Two weeks ago, we came back, and everything is looking good, we were rusted but after a few games we got a win. Seems like "wow, there's no cheaters now" WRONG ! We started playing ranked wich makes the game more interesting, more challenging but as soon as we passed bronze... the virus came back... cheaters...cheaters everywhere!  Now there's a report button, but it feels like it doesn't work.

Please someone must do something. 

Here is some fotage of one of thousands

.

Can anyone hire me as an admin ? I'll swing that ban hammer like Thor.

    Thank you, I know that also in US and EU there are lots of them I just want EA to do something about it. I've reported SO many, from EA and Anti-Cheat website, but I've never got a notice that something was done about that. 

    It's been too long... is just so annoying.

    @UwPsycho As I've stated in other posts, there's much more at stake for devs than for players. This guarantees the fact that they're on it and it's top priority. It's just that it's a very hard battle, you need to understand that you are going to encounter cheaters in the future as well, even if they get eliminated by the thousands every day.

    @DoYaSeeMe 

    dude...r u serious? X'mon I expected more out of you than this... Many of us live in China/Asia and deal with cheaters practically every match.  Maybe because you play on other servers and  have 1 cheater out of 100 matches or a bit too naive to realize that we are not judging who is/isn't cheating. Anyone playing on the AS servers have a hell of a lot more "experience" dealing with and playing against servers everyday.

    It's very possible that the data for spectating gets sent at a lower rate (like 20 fps)

    When spectating a player using aimbot, fps means nothing whatsoever.

    My thoughts on this is that Apex is lacking of players lately compared to its announcement year and couple first months, and they just don't want to scope those cheaters otherwise they will be down 20, 30% of their player base.

    @jumanjaydazed You expect me to join the dev roasting side or...? No can do, as I'm a dev myself and probably see things differently. I prefer constructive reasoning over roasting and tantrums. The latter only lead to bad behavior.

    @Bad_No_BaNg What you say doesn't make much sense. If this game would have 20-30% cheaters, it would probably die in a week. None of the legit players would ever have a chance of winning with 3-4 teams of aimbotters around every match, so they would simply just quit. Then cheaters would leave as well, because most of them would not be able to win even with cheats enabled, while boosted accounts would hardly sell. On the other hand, removing so many cheaters would totally be worthy for Respawn / EA/ EAC, as they would loudly brag with this for weeks and benefit from a huge increase of the (willing to spend) playerbase.

    @DoYaSeeMe I'm literally facing people cheating over EU Plat~Diamond on a daily basis. Following and pinging through walls with no sound whatsoever, I've faced the same guy, cheating and boosting over 8 accounts in different matches, nothing was done thus far, it's been a month. So ya, I think the game will die eventually if they don't step up, and I do believe around that percentage is ❤️❤️❤️❤️ up the game atm.

    @DoYaSeeMe is this a normal play by your judgment? [Admin - Removed link due to naming and shaming]


    21 days, this dude is still playing, and is at the moment on Master. =]

    @Bad_No_BaNg This is an aimbot, clearly. But I rarely see this obvious kind of cheating. If that player is still in the game, then maybe there are not enough reports on him, or he's case number 2.345.678 on the list.

    Let's do some rough math. 20% cheaters from a playerbase of over 70-80 million players is over 10.000.000 cases. If we allocate 3 minutes to check the evidence and take action against each, we end up with 500,000 hours of work, so 62,500 full working days. Roughly 3 months of work for an army of 1000. Well, that would clearly be an expense of millions of dollars, turning the game into a huge money sinkhole.
