Game is ruined w/ cheaters

This game is absolutely destroyed with cheaters everywhere. There was a ban wave of 1,300 people. 

You spread that out across servers, that means there is a 1-3 cheaters PER match. That is also only who got CAUGHT.

I see R301 with literally zero recoil and people sayin "well the 301 doesn't have much anyways."


Guys, I've competed pro in CAL-I, CEVO-P, started playing delta force 2 back in 1998. I've seen it ALL. I know a cheater when I see one.

Until respawn starts doing paid/moderated servers that instantly spectates these cheaters, then nothing will ever be done.

When does a developer step up and truly support the community? As of right now, respawn, EA, all of them are an absolute money-hungry joke. This AIM assist thing is also absolutely TERRIBLE for the pc community. It's creating 🏈 entirely different play styles where controller players are aping the hell out of PC players and PC players are trying to create distant by charge rifling across the map. If ya'll don't see how toxic this is, you're honestly part of the problem.

But let's call a spade a spade, this is a Free to play game, meaning these cheaters will more than likely just create a new account. Create a VPN to get around these bans. 

I truly believe NVIDIA/AMD need to implement entire GPU locks for violating these terms. People will stop cheating when their RTX3090 turns into a brick.

  • @sbr-saber Can do me a favor and explain how you get from 1300 people banned to 1 to 3 cheaters a match?
  • Simple math really. But I know you're drooling waiting on this response -

    45 Data Centers / 1300 cheaters = 28 Cheaters per server at any given moment.

  • @sbr-saber This is also a problem on console with strike packs, cronus zen and these new anti recoil controllers that's hit the market.

    Would love to hear from a dev that they acknowledge that it's growing problem and looking at solutions instead of remaining quiet.

    I am done with "if you suspect someone is cheating please report them here" no because no one is feeling the results of this method.
  • "But I know you're drooling waiting on this response -"

    I sipped at my afternoon wine, the feelings of concern and curiosity stirring into the hollow of my chest as I anticipated the math that would come forth. For some time, I knew that there was something off about the Apex Legends matches I had been in. Had @sbr-saber cracked the enigma of this? Would I finally have a concise and true understanding of what plagued my every waking moment, and shuddered my limbs with fear as I logged into each match?

    "45 Data Centers / 1300 cheaters = 28 Cheaters per server at any given moment," read the last of the text.

    I sighed, partially with relief, and partially with pity. As the breath escaped my lips, my mouth conjured the only thing that encapsulated all of my emotions at once.

    "Damn," I said quietly to myself, realizing that the answer would remain elusive. Saber, in his infinite wisdom, believed that there were only 45 servers-- 45 matches at any given time around the world. I calmed myself, as I had realized two things:

    Firstly, that I would have to continue on in search of the answer that would likely elude me until at least the next time I uninstalled Apex, likely an action born of rage and incompetence. But secondly, and more importantly, I wouldn't ever be as confidently incorrect as Saber was in this moment.

    I picked my wine back up, sipping at the dry merlot that tasted of bitter irony, and continued looking onward, wondering if the answer may instead lay within a bald Wraith skin.

    @sbr-saber I figured that was your math. You realize there are more than 45 matches going on at the same time right? A data center isnt a match. There are literally tens to hundreds of thousands playing at any given time. This means the cheating population is very like less than 1% of the population. And the 1300 cheaters aren't playing the same time or in the same region. They may even be multiple accounts for one person.

    @NACHONOV0 So let me get this straight. You found out they banned 1300 accounts for cheating in the exact same thread and then the message you got was "no one is feeling the results of this method"? My mind is just blown right now.

    @NullEffective9 What beautiful writing, proves a point, with humor and the most important part of my diet, sarcasm. No matter if a agree with you or not (which in this case I do) you always bring actual value to a conversation.
