Is EVERYONE at EA & RESPAWN on a RETREAT/VACATION?..

I NEVER thought I would have to post something like this, because I LOVE APEX, it's creators, & the gaming community as a whole. That being said, as a person who's been playing since DAY 1. (signifi...

Hi, thanks for the post, I know there's a lot of frustration right now. 
 
IHi, just to addree your first point, but we have a bug tracked for the start of match/character select issues, we're aware it's a big issue: https://trello.com/c/qED1VnsS/255-freezing-just-before-or-after-legend-select

Unfortunately swapping poses doesn't seem to fix this issue 100%, and there are a lot of the time animated poses won't have any impact. It's still a good idea to swap them out as there are multiple reports of it helping, but unfortunately it's not a silver bullet. 

You of course bring up other issues, but I just wanted to jump in to clarify on this point. 

Edit: Ryan rigney addresses the smurfing situation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/q7npax/comment/hglv3b6/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

"Smurfing is a tough one—I've worked on a few games that struggled with it. I think it's one of those things that gets worse over time, as the "median skill" of players who've been around a while goes up. We actually already do some stuff to detect smurfs after a few games and put them with less new players, but I can imagine us putting more resources toward this problem if it keeps becoming worse."

Smurfing is a violation of the TOS as is made clear due to the introduction of the report function. However since it has been more than a year since smurfing started to become rampant, it is also clear that EA/Respawn have no genuine concern for it. The TOS is in essence, an agreement between the developer and the user. I agree not to cheat and they agree to not allow cheaters. Based on that agreement I have, in good faith, paid money (over $400 US) toward services intended to enhance the game's aesthetics. I believe that EA/Respawn has violated that agreement by ignoring smurfing. I believe users would be well within their right to explore charge-back proceedings.
