Idea for cheaters and reporting them

I would like if Apex put in a notification in game after you report someone for cheating if they got banned. A certain other game which I won't name  used to give a notification if you reported someone and they got banned. 

To combat "over reporting" bc yes people out there will make a game of it or just report when they are upset they lost limit the amount of reports an account can make per day/week/month whatever but something reasonable. Also a certain level would be required to report you can't make a level 1 account and report them you need to be a certain player level at least whatever the minimum is to play ranked. 

What do you all think?

  • Simply AI Anti-Cheat and at least several thousand accounts will be automatically banned. No one will have to worry about reporting anymore.

    I feel like you are correct but your solution is another 5-10 years down the road. Maybe sooner. Hopefully. My goal just like 90-95% of online gamers is to eliminate cheating or at least reduce it significantly. 

    I want to ask respectfully how do you purpose AI to eliminate cheating in Apex? There are thousands of AI systems out there and they aren't exactly AI they are basically a google search on steroids.  You would need the apex Devs to agree with a contract of an AI company to solve this. Which is reasonable but probably not within the budget of EA or not even feasible with our modern technology.  

    The reason I want a notification is so it entices "good/moral" players to report with a cap so trolls can't abuse it. 

    And btw your idea might be 100% feasible and I hope it is possible.

    I understand your point, but we live in an era of hard-to-detect cheats.

    Simple in-game reports often don't help, because Zen, Xim, Titan, or other such bugs won't be recognized based on such a report.

    Unless you record a video like Zeus, EA won't take action against this person. That's why we have so many cheaters in the game now. Scripts and wallhacking are also very difficult to detect and I bet EAC can't handle it at all. Sad, but true.

    Regarding feedback on reports, I sometimes receive one in-game when action has been taken against a player. Sometimes it says there were, for example, three people involved, but they never provide the names in question.
