Permanent IP ban for toxic players

I'm tired.

This happens a lot and it needs to stop.

I just finished a match where one player (Bloodhound) dropped solo, and when I realized I dropped near him/her but everything was looted already. I had a havoc and no armour and got killed by an Octane with purple armour. I yelled at the solo player and he died too, but fortunately the 3rd player (Wraith with a Season 3 Diamond trail) got our banners and escaped the fire zone.

I thanked the Wraith and the solo player started to insult me in Portuguese. I have srveral screenshots and a video. I just replied "reported" and when I got the chance I reported him/her from the menu. The match went on and he did a suicidal move, died, and insulted me again. Insulted me and my family with lots of slurs.

I'm tired.

I don't ever want to play with this kind of people anymore.

I'm tired of toxic players, solo players who are "farming 20 kills"... This is a cooperative game, and these players do NOT cooperate at all.

I want to know what happens with the in-game reports.

For all reports.

I want to report solo players.

I want to report quitters.

I want to report harassers.

I want to know what happens to them. I want a follow up like "You reported the player [nickname] for [reason]. We banned them for [time]".

I played with a guy who got reported for saying the n-word and he created another account and kept playing. Of course I said to him not to be racist, but he lept doing it, so I removed him from my friend list.

I want these people to NOT play anymore or to have serious consequences.

Why do I have to spend minutes in an undesireble match, take my time to report, write a post, for nothing to really happen.

Please, take some action.

Please!

People who play with randoms are more likely to quit playing if they encounter these players. Apex will end up with only toxic players and die.

Please take action.

I can provide screenshots, but they would be censored. If there's a place for them to be reported (screenshots and video) I'll post them.

Thank you!

    It's not just "an insult", it's unprovoked harassment and hate speech, it's threaths to players and their families; of course they're not real, but they still have impact on the psychology of the receiver.
    You can be critical and hear both sides, but I assure you (since I cannot post the harassment here because they would be censored), this toxic player was not provoked. He dropped solo, he died, he insulted because I told him this was a cooperative game.
    I don't know you, but you're completely bullying reporters by putting "act like a .....", what's the word you don't want to write? is it coward? or does it start with a "p"? that's what I though. Bullies must be stopped. Period. You can have discussions and even insult, but some words are enough to identify harassers.
    Also, screenshots and videos help to prove your point, but the developers obviously can track down the match, see all our actions, pings, voice and text. They know.

    You have mute option. Which comes by just 1 click and its made in exactly 1 secs.

    If you don`t wanna hear someone, you mute him.

    Its simple as that.

    Ea is not banning cheaters, you want them to put attention to toxic player, yeah good luck with that.

    Read the whole post again, think about it, and then you will understand i`m right.

    @Koochi-Qsounds like the same bs toxic masculinity fathers teach to their sons.

    And OP, I'm with you 100%. There should remain somekind of respect for other people and basic manners.

  • why we can't call solo/runaway as idiots? Apex is the game where people KILLING  each other, so there is no room for sentiments. so killing people gives you pleasure, and when people swear - does it offend you? this is hypocrisy. all those cry-babies should go play tetris, sims or whatever baby games they play. 

    i want to permanent IP ban for players who calls everyone toxic. and for using word 'toxic' as well. i respect human rights, but this does not mean that i should respect people just because they are humans and also play this game.

    this stupid tolerance idiocracy should be stopped!

    p.s. btw, this game is for age >= 16. so all kids below this age SHOULD BE BANNED until they reach 16; let's be consistent.

  • @Varimathas dude, this is a co-op game.
    There's no friendly fire and you can't win by killing your teammates.
    If they want to play alone, there's a button to do so.
    It's not "sentiment", it's being against sabotage.
    Nowadays, if I see someone drop solo I just abandon the match, but in ranked I can't do that.

    About the age, I agree, for every internet related thing.

    @ApexPackFarmagreed with measures about the sabotage and everything that ruins the game, but i thought we talk here about mythic 'toxicity'.

    with this message you compare water with a triangle. /nonsense

    every multiplayer game has tools to not to see messages/hear voices -- use them and don't ever tell me/whoever about the [f-word] toxicity. because you ruining not the game - you ruining whole WORLD, human mankind! we're not robots, you will not make everyone clichéd people.

    there is no place for abuse in children's games, but in adults it is the right place. if you don't like it, play other quiet, peaceful games. and if you come into a game where gameplay is around  KILLING PEOPLE, you don't have to impose your own rules.

    yes, from your point of view, I'm probably just trying to impose my own rules, but I'm just protesting this hypocrisy.

    there will always be resistance to this stupid toleracy. admit it and live in peace.

  • @Varimathas n-word, r-word, etcetera are not acceptable anymore; not in a game, not anywhere.
    f-word is ok for me.
    Disagreeing and discussing is ok with me.
    Being toxic is another thing. Is sabotaging the team for your own ego in a TEAM BASED game. Why would anyone say anything about my family when I'm supposed to be THEIR teammates and THEY are sabotaging the game going solo?? That's plain stupid, and I have the right to tell them and report them. If that's followed by racial slurs, then I get pissed and I pretend that EA makes something about it. The gameplay is around teams and skill; not only "killing people". There are LOTS of games where they can "kill people" going solo.

    n-word, r-word, etcetera are not acceptable anymore; not in a game, not anywhere. -- this rule works only in you small world, mate.

    as much as you would like, we will always be 'toxic' as long as humankind exists. but these stupid rules of tolerance will not last long. sure about it.

    yeah, you have right to report em. and them have rights to say 'FU'. censorship is prohibited by the constitution of USA, isn't it? so why the hell those people should be banned?

    concerning playing solo: people can play ANY style as THEY WANT to play; it's not against the rules of this game. if you have an a$$ explosion about this - nobody cares.
