Re: Clarification

They stated that they couldn’t detect the Chronus being used. That’s alll the quote they need. Let people know that it can’t be detected and it will be abused. You can “discourage” it all you want, but when people know you struggle with even detecting the device, they will take advantage of it. Everyday, I see it. Not every game, but I would say most games you come across it. It’s a whole generation of trash kids that were handed trophies for “showing up”.

    I don't know how this got to be the default explanation for every bad behavior in gaming. Or in life. Snowflakes this and snowflakes that. It seems a lot more likely to me that normal people put into competitive environments will do whatever it takes to give themselves an edge, especially if that edge will not explicitly get them punished. It's what anyone is taught who pays attention to the way businesses work, the way government works, and most certainly the way professional sports works. So please let's stop blaming kindergarten teachers for not screaming obscenities at five-year-olds when they make mistakes.
  • Understand that I believe in integrity. All I am alluding to is a generation that has very blurred ideas of even the idea of integrity. I have 2 kids of my own and work very hard to teach them the concept of hard work and time put in resulting in success. Not cheat and/or manipulate the system to get from A to B. If you are personally part of the latter, sorry, not sorry. If not, then good on you.

    The tos is quite explisit on this case, strikepacks in its own is not the criminal here, its the mods/macros/... a dominator for instance has a competition mode, then no mods can be loaded or similar into it then its just backpaddles, I used this on PS4 season 3-5 (in competition mode) until I got myself a proper elite controller, because well budget issues 😃 if you check the tos: https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/

    chapter 6. rules of conduct, on of the bullets there are:

    • Use or distribute unauthorized software programs or tools (such as "auto", "macro", hack or cheat software), or use exploits, bugs or problems in an EA Service to gain unfair advantage.

    This would also count for mounting mouse and keyboard to a chronus zen to get mnk with aimassist, that is an exploit enabled by an external tool.

    Just a side note, some of the elite controllers can also use mods, but they still legal as long as you dont use said mods. In general I hope an official can comment here regarding the strike packs now as there been an intensification in the heat for said strikepacks, and especially the chronus zen so I do not know the latest policy of EA, what I did was get an elite controller without mod support and just be done with it and not wonder if I was walking in gray area world anymore - dont want to get banned 😉
