Re: XIM and Titan cheaters banned

I have seen on a previous post that there was a large ban wave of Cronus and Titan users.. Truly I don't think that really means anything. Unless you are full Console/PC banning...

Are we doing MAC and IP Banning? 

The reason I ask is, once you "ban" these people who are operating with these third party tools, wont they just create a new account and continue doing the same thing we as player base has complained about for years?

Really it comes down to accountability, these people will continue to cheat and go against EA's Terms and conditions. "Banning" their accounts won't mean anything if they can just spoof another email and create a new free account. 

I believe I also read somewhere EA was taking action against these big companies in regards to the cheating problem, however due to loopholes they are still able to operate... Why not just change/update terms and conditions and its wording to include these tools? 

The sentiment is nice, and its not an easy game of cat and mouse finding and removing these exploits. However, there needs to be accountability, and unfortunately its at a point where it needs to be harsh. 

Everyone is at the point where we cannot tell a cheater from a good player, and that ruins the fun, and ruins the game. We need change, start fully removing these people and I'm almost sure people will return. 

Take care of your real player base, start giving real accountability.

    I really hate the feeling of not knowing if the other person is skilled or cheating. I've heard diamond and Masters have a lot of these cheaters and I don't really play ranked but unfortunately for me my pubs lobbies absolutely smothered in diamond and masters players, so much so that I find myself getting lazered by smgs at assault rifle range and wondering what's going on. Also my teammates are often dog water levels of braindead and neither my wife who plays with me or myself have ever gotten past gold 3 so I don't know why I'm forced to play with these kinds of players. It's extremely frustrating for my pubs lobbies to be literally dripping sweat.

    That's one of the most sad parts too is these players aren't even cheating just to make themselves look better, they are also invading pubs lobbies to just to feel overpowered and crush the dreams of people just playing the game for fun. That's super messed up and believe me if apex dies, cheaters are going to be a huge part of that if they don't fix that crap.

     

    Here's an example of what happened in my pub lobby once 

    Round 1 was 40seconds til ring close and there were three squads left on Olympus. I'm playing Valk and panic because that's crazy to lose the whole lobby that fast. I run over to solar array to scan the beacon and on my way it drops to two squads a few seconds before round 1 ring closes, I scan the beacon and it marks them at the outside of terminal facing me. Immediately I get shot down to 40 hp from purple shields by smg fire literally from all the way over the huge pit, across the grass by the rocks and small buildings. I took cover popped a shield battery, and see that they are octane launching across the gap. I valk ult behind the pillar and over to my teammates on that building in between solar array and grow towers. I took additional damage while flying and had to pop a Phoenix kit when I landed. 

    Immediately the entire enemy team was sprinting across open ground (they did not use cover, toward us) from the opening archway between those two pois I dealt 25 damage with my r301 before I instantly died to an r99 at that range with literally just my head poking over cover. Both my teammates got lasered within the next fives seconds.

    Round ended and they were triple stack preds as well

    Large Ban Wave ? it was 3000 , thats not even 0.5% of the ranked players ...
    A complete joke imho. Those devices still running around unbanned most of the time.
    When i apply the same logic which they used to ban linux users, I demand separate lobbies for the input types !

    I'm concerned about the situation on PC, where I see new accounts in Wildcard mode every day with names like "fewtfrfwfjnsdlkgjnsrsafhjsdgfs," etc. (a string of random letters and numbers), openly using wallhacks and aimbots. These are low-level accounts, usually between levels 1 and 20. It's not about these accounts being banned within hours or days—it's about how many times I have to die in a week because of cheaters? It's sad.

    Oh, and as soon as I see a console player (former or current pred), I immediately leave, because it's incredible how openly these people cheat.

    Dude, that wont solve a thing, those guys get whitelisted all the time.
    Also with CGN (carrier grade NAT, aka DualStack-Lite) in effect with a lot of providers, this will only cause more issues than it solves

    At the moment from platinum onwards it's mostly three stack controller teams who are clearly using something else than regular controllers. It is just broken. 

    Even without any help the aim assist is still just absolutely ridiculous. There's no point even having controller as an option on PC. Just lose it or lose the aim assist completely.

    Let's see how many people want to abuse controllers after that?

    Let's face it. Nobody is playing controller because it's more fun.

    Console cheaters are still rife on PC. This is clearly visible in Wildcard mode. Today I encountered someone with almost 40 kills and 10,000 damage.

    I see that Titan/Xim still reigns supreme in this game.
