Re: ban for sabotage?

@youareapirate Personally, I don't see why this would result in any sort of sanction. In the hierarchy of "grief/toxic" behavior, what you did is negligible, imo. Your chances at a 1 v everyone, for the win, are pretty slim unless you're really good/really lucky, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Who knows, the randoms might have been grateful that you got them back to the lobby faster, since they were already dead

@dSKyNafinchin to be honest I would take an effort from the team to survive over any toxicity. After all, toxicity is just part of human nature, especially in a competitive environment like our world :D while ranked is about giving the best short to win so if someone dies on purpose it kind of is sabotage, especially if a player is hardstuck while others are not.

Otherwise if say that is oke people can start dropping games via landing outside the map or leave people knocked, dead and not even try to get them up/respawned as it is risky as well...

I think the current system is kinda fair minus the fact that people get banned more for toxicity, harassment, badmouthing than hacking 🙂 rest is up to people what to do or not to do risking the potential ban.

@Eshshshss I am pretty much the same. I cant recall a match where I "threw" the game, because I was the only one alive. I'm one of those, "if I'm going out, I'm taking as many people with me as possible" kind of people, Lmao. Plus, I'm not a pro-level player, so I'll take any RP I can get.

I was more just saying that I don't think it's something that would get them banned, even if reported. I suppose it might depend on what tier though. Bronze-Gold, likely didn't even get reported. Plat and up, may have reported, as RP is much more scarce at higher tiers.

On the ban stuff, I feel like it is much easier to monitor/catch ToS violations like hate speech in chat, than it is to flush out the constantly evolving hacks/exploits and whatnot. I tend to just mind my own business, and do what I can to win and help my team. I'm 30+, and have never been banned from any video game or online forum. It's honestly not hard at all

@Eshshshss I'm always down to share personal experience and try to give advice! That's wild, about EA with your issue, and still sending surveys XD

The way I see it, is that I'm here to have fun with my friends. I don't care who kills me, who I kill, what they say. I just do not care. Me and my buddies play Apex/Halo/GTA together when we are all online (most days) and have a blast. If it's just me, I tend to play one of the many other games I am working on, because I just don't have much fun playing Apex/Halo solo.

When I get "hate mail", the only response they get, is "word" Lmao

Also, I meant no offense with my "It's honestly not hard at all" comment, and it was not directed at anyone. My apologies if you felt it was toward you!
