PLEASE MAKE APEX LEGENDS PAY TO PLAY

Hi, I have a proposal. Please make Apex Legends pay to play, there are at least 2 squads of hackers every game that are low levels, probably new accounts after their main got banned. This could have ...

    I believe his point was that if you put a price tag on the game, then hackers will think twice about cheating. Granted, yes they will buy hacks, however right now you are looking at what, $25 for the hack? Add in another $10 for the battle pass..  But if you put a price tag of say $40/$50 on the game, they now have to come out of pocket for $75 to $85 everytime they are caught hacking.

    But I agree, this is not going to STOP the hacking problem. There are people out there that will dump hundreds of dollars into a game to ruin it for others... But, this would decrease the number of hackers in any given game. That 13 year old kid who thinks it's "fun" to hack won't be doing so if they have to hit their parents up for $40/$50 a week for the same game.

    But there is a huge downfall to this as well. The 50+ million players the game has now would crumble to a fraction of that size.

@ArchAngeL-PCXi totally agree with everything you said, but i'd prefer "wasting" 40$ in Apex with the same content we got right now, but way less hackers and consequently a more enjoyable game than keep it F2P with 40 heroes, 10 gamemodes, 15 maps, but the same amount of hackers and not enjoying the game because even if the game would have the same content as OW i woudnt play it, thats why i uninstalled Apex at the begin on s6.
A game is something that youre suppose to have fun with. F2P or "Overpriced P2P for his content" isnt what make the difference.

@Teisen91 They might be dropping during the season like you said, but... i never hacked in any game or even interested in anything related, and cheating for me was using the code "pepperoni pizza" to get 1000 food on a SP game (if you get the "reference" youre and old dude like me XD).
After playing Apex and getting frustrated by the amount of hacker i meet i ended up taking a look on those forums were people sell and buy hack, not to buy anything, to get a better idea of whats going on, and what really surprised me wasnt that you could find a solution for every your needs (some might be scams, but some are "legit" hacks for sure) but the sheer amount of posts, entire forums sections, dedicated to people that hacks that are looking for other hackers to party up and farm in ranked.
People saying that are farming ranked by long time with hacks and no repercussions at all on gold rank and up.
I think is normal that in an online games you COULD meet hackers once in a while, but even if the number drops in Apex during the season it still WAAAAY TO MUCH to enjoy the game, and actually the end of season5 wasnt that good either.
Timmy might not care about the email, but is blatant that Respawn dont care too. I dont think with a working matchmaking system you will fix anything with the stupid amount of people hacking in the game. The report system is just a joke, the HWID ban is a joke too, if youre hacking you know where get HWID spoofers (while still some might be just scams some are, again, "legit").
P2P could make stuff better, but even just having to link phone numbers to an accounts, could help, and there might be some other ideas or way to stop people making account over account if they get banned. They really need to do SOMETHING about the game, and i dont mean adding crap like new skin, holoBS etc.

@Wild-XIIIThe cheaters are magnified in Apex because there is nothing but BR. The same thing is going on in COD Warzone. It's been plagued by cheaters and hackers from the start. In BR, you get punted back to the lobby by these hackers, so there's no way to play around them like in a more standard game mode.

There's hackers in every online game.  And if Apex had PvE content like Overwatch 2 will have, then you wouldn't even care. Even if they had a respawn mode like Plunder in COD Warzone, then the hacking impact would be minimized. You could just respawn on some other part of the map.

    @ArchAngeL-PCXyeah compared to OW or other game genre, and because its BR games are quite popular right now, you will end up meeting more hackers in Apex.
    In OW a ranked game last 20-30 minutes, and you meet 11 people other than you. In Apex you "meet" 59 people and it can last 1minute, so statistically there are way more chance to meet hackers.
    I play BL too, and there are hackers and cheaters too there, but who care? Isnt a competitive game, and you can easily keep outside your game.
    But there is a limit when there are just to many hackers (and im not the guy that call hackers everytime he get downed).
    I do spectate them and wait for some obvious thing like snapping head to head in millisecond without missing a shot.
    The thing is i do like Apex as i like OW, so far are the FPS i enjoyed most, love the style, the characters, the lore, the gameplay (a bit less with the last changes in Apex) on both game,
    and even i know im a below average player i still enjoy playing ranked on both, until now.
    You could play OW for months, 12 hours a days, and never see a single hacker or not even some "wierd stuff". 99.9% of times it will be a fair game (considering i got around 2000 games in competitive and saw only 1 hacker the % is quite accurate).
    How much you could play before meet an hacker in Apex? And that just those blatant hackers that dont care about getting spotted and use everything possible.
    There are people that just use ESP, so you might not even noticed you got killed by someone thats hacking, and on S4 and S5 it append a couple of time that i was getting hit, lost health but not shield, and if you get downed fast unless youre recording thats hard to notice.
    I cant really talk about Warzone, i did played a couple of game, game look good, gun play feels good too, i just didnt like the gameplay (fast TTK, chain-respawning) so i just stopped playing before seeing any hacker.
    Is just sad having to stop playing a game i like that much because of that reason.
