Drawing the line on Teaming
Hey guys, I’m trying to wrap my head around the concept of teaming being an unethical thing to do in a video game. In most games I just simply play my Apex with pubs and sometimes I win, sometimes I ...
@NitefireOPIt is, you know what's awesome though? EA has been focusing on unsporting behavior this season. The start of the season they suspended over 400 accounts who were abusing the queue timer to get into low rank lobbies. These players can not play all of Season 7 due to the unsporting behavior.
From there they just did a ban wave of teamers, many who were in the high rank lobbies.
A few seasons ago I ran into a really bad group in duos it was 6 people working together. I DM'd one asking them to knock it off because it ruins the gaming experience for honest players. The person was really rude about it. I reported it to Microsoft and followed up the report with an email to Microsoft and a clip of it. His account did get suspended, for about a week. He went from playing apex daily to not playing any only multiplier games. I have had in game friends get suspend for voice chat and other unsporting behavior as well.
So the report features do work and they do get in trouble for it. The big issue is that most of the time you never know if or when action has been taken.
If you suspect cheating or unsporting behavior email a clip of it to the TOS department. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/
They won't tell you if they have taken action but they will investigate it.
