CRONUS-ZEN ISSUE
XBOX and PlayStation are being over run with cronus-zens. Why hasn't anything been done to stop it from ruining everyone's game yet? On top of the usual game issues such as, Getting shot through door...
@Fr0d0T34B4gg1n5 well it's not, as it dosnt give an unfair advantage, the basis of the cheating philosophy, and mentioned earlier.
@OldTreeCreeper I have seen people use unauthorized 3rd party chat programs (discord/team-speak) to Engage or assist in cheating or other anti-competitive behavior (such as boosting, collusion, and match or matchmaking manipulation) a violation of the ToS that I reported. You say 3rd party chat programs don't give an unfair advantage, then why outline the illegitimate use of it in the ToS and provide an authorized option?
Still doesn't change the fact though that 3rd party voice chat is an unauthorized program that is technically prohibited by the ToS as EA has provided an Authorized in-game voice chat to prevent the illegitimate use of 3rd party voice chat software that I outlined.
Let's be truthful here anytime you use a 3rd party voice chat and merely saying "that dude over there killed me" to players that are alive, gives them an unfair advantage as the provided in-game voice chat prevents this collusion.
Also 3rd party chat bypass' EA services in-game voice chat meant to prevent collusion. This is a violation of the ToS for bypassing EA Services and anytime your character is dead and you give out any piece of in game information that is collusion and a violation of the ToS, I would argue this is the most common form of cheating/anti-competitive violation of the EA ToS in the game, and you are saying it is allowed.
Hey folks,
This thread is getting pretty derailed and into some pretty off-topic hypotheticals that really aren't necessary.
Something like Discord is perfectly fine to use as an alternative to in-game chat, for example.
Locking it down here as this really is not a productive thread.
