Re: Cheaters are already rampant in Apex
As I said in a previous post, associating a mobile phone number with the account will make it much harder for cheaters to keep changing numbers and creating accounts. If that is not enough, they should consider IP/Hardware bans on top of account bans.
I hear you about making the game paid, and I would gladly pay for it on the spot without even thinking, but the problem is that it will reduce the number of players online by a significant amount, many of which will be normal non-cheating people, and lead to increases in queue times and might decrease the casual interest and following of the game, which is quite important in the early stages in order to establish Apex as the leading shooter+BR available.
Respawn should consider harsh bans with no regret or mercy, because think about it - what kind of a low level scum bag person would cheat? How could you get satisfaction from playing knowing you haven't done anything? You might as well install Godlike-AI, turn it on and sit there in front of your computer watching the AI destroy the server. Such people really need psychological help and support in all honesty, but for the sake of the community, ban and ban harshly provided that evidence threshold is achieved.
