Re: Cheating is still bad

I have solo queued to masters for a few seasons and I absolutely love Apex. Whilst some changes and legends have not been a hit with me, I think it's a unique game and is freshened up well by Devs. 

Whilst there's always been cheating with Zen, Xim and Strikepacks, the new Titan has tipped it over the edge as large amounts of players are either using or partied up with cheaters. I thought the issue was going to be dealt with during the ban wave a while back but nothing is happening to anyone that isn't in the top 100 meaning the game is overrun with cheaters and I don't see how they can fix it.

I also feel that it is being ignored and on the Reddit official page any mention is censored. My post was removed by a mod and when I challenged this as rules say if constructive it can remain, I was muted and removed.

I am trying to encourage everyone to report it in game and through discord and make the subject visible to Devs so they invest more into removing this. The other option is that people turn away from the game, and as stated, that's the last thing I want.

What are other people's thoughts on this, does anyone know if auto detection is possible?

    its true, I don't even play mixtape because for some reason its the worst place for cheaters, lol. They found their way into wildcard now which we all knew was going to happen quickly with the badges. I've even seen them in bot royale back when there were more human squads than there are now. They can keep banning accounts til the cows come home but as long as the player base is invested in a win at all costs and instant gratification mentality, cheating will always be a thing. Its super sad because like you said, it was the best BR for a long time

    it was a term for emphasis buddy, people do that to enforce a point. My point being that the player base is more the problem and not the cheat developers. I think thats pretty clear in what I wrote

    1st of all i want to thank You for having the courage to make this statement because the real discussions of how to handle this "Cheating" problem is NOT really being held by the people whom claim to possibly resolve it.

    How many statements or announcements have been addressed to the public of resolving this but after a week it's back to the "Normal cheating" state? 

    I'm a great defender on the "Apex is dying!" talk but as You stated this honestly may be the demise of Apex Legends! 

    Apex is hands-down the greatest FPS to date imo. I've faithfully play this game GOOD,BAD, & UGLY no matter what changes have occurred. The cheaters are taking the soul out of this game!!! I've tried to have real talks on how to resolve this & before i can get into details the stench of "giving up, it's the NEW NORM" is beyond disgusting!!  From the Ban Center to the Devs to my peers, its as if EVERYONE has given up on this Zen/Cronus situation!  JUST SAY THAT BUT DON'T LEAD US ON!!! (like just be honest about it so i can prep my mental)
     
       I threw so many ideas out to the point I was like reconzero​ i said change the communities morality on the situation!! Put Loba in that bikini with her thighs out on a T'**bleep**rt Titled "cheaters never Win" or "Cheater don't deserve my love" When i play Mixtape Control " Hey guys, on those cool flying "Silva Pharmaceuticals" banner drones put "Cheaters Not Allowed" like SOMETHING!!!  You can't tell Me as a devoted staff member or dev that you don't see it as extremely ridiculous!!  As a product you help produce & passionately love that you don't see this problem is getting beyond repair!!!?? 

         & honestly I'M trying to stay positive about resolving it to an extent but from what i see/hear the hope is gone!!! imo. Also clueless on the concept of "Teaming" which is gaining power.
       Overall This is bigger than Apex/Respawn at this point! It may be the end of pure online FPS's in the gaming industry in general tbh. smh sadge! like is stopping the manufacturer of those devices possible ?  idk
                                     FYI they're Non-stop in Mixtape, NON-STOP!       -gg's

    "Respawn will literally have to send the player base to a morality class to stop the cheating"

    Naivety that is both shocking and charming at the same time.

    There is no force on earth that can stop anonymous people from doing bad things when they know there is little chance of being caught and no meaningful consequences if they are. A morality class would be the equivalent of a free one-day pass to WeightWatchers for the cast of My 600lb Life.

    It isn't only that the cheating is present and the technology is better than Respawn can deal with, its also that we have a large player count that can't seem to stop wanting to cheat. All those cheats aren't being forced on anyone to use and yet the player base for this game is so pathetic that those cheat developers/xims/titans are making insane profit. Respawn will literally have to send the player base to a morality class to stop the cheating, the numbers of people that want to cheat just keeps growing and the rest of us that actually try to learn and get better are being left behind. I refuse to play a game and have a program aim for me, whats the point? Why not just get an AI bot to take over all your controls while you lay on the couch eating cheetos, literally the same thing
