    Reporting works for harassments, racism, and hurting someone's feelers.... it doesn't do much for hackers/cheaters or smurfs.

    You completely ignored my question to focus on telling everyone that the Report system works THAT was never the point of this thread! 

    I ask AGAIN..."Why does EA not actively go after Cronus Zen Script users/abusers since they are not hard to find?"

     

    Has anyone at EA ever opened a streaming app and looked at what players are really doing with the game they created? IT'S SHAMEFUL!

    @Tex1962Tex

    There might be somthing in the patch notes for you. What's clear is cheating is being worked on and if you are lucky you will now see someone you have reported for cheating getting the heave ho live. 

    ANTI-CHEAT UPDATES

    NEW IN-MATCH NOTIFICATIONS

    A new feature that launched during Resurrection is live: in-game notifications for banned players. This notification will appear in the kill feed when a player in your current match has been removed. This alert will only be triggered by our anti-cheat systems and will not display when someone quits a match, loses connection or is kicked for AFK. This is the first of many steps the team is taking to improve visibility and player feedback when users are actioned.

    Anything that gives an unfair advantage can lead to a ban. Have a look through hideouts twitter:

    https://twitter.com/RSPN_Hideouts/status/1550320230659809281

    2,086 banned here

    https://twitter.com/RSPN_Hideouts/status/1421153509311803400?s=20

    3,100 banned here

    https://twitter.com/RSPN_Hideouts/status/1655683140440956930

    82,000+ and 65,000+ bans here

    And the warning

    I'd say they are active, but don't really kiss and tell, to maintain security around what they are doing.

    The cheating world is constantly evolving, so is game security.

    @matzesingt Look at that, 2k in all 2023. Cheaters are feeling the terror now lmao. All of those 2k cheaters are back to business the next day and it will take a pro to call Hideout to get them ban again.

    I swear these community volunteers are fun as hell and probably belive what they preach.

    @OldTreeCreeper Those 82,000 and 65,000 bans were an April fools joke the others are for exploits so not many bans for actually using aimbots etc....
  • "I swear these community volunteers are fun as hell and probably belive what they preach.""

    They are an appeasement, exactly like the EA reporting system, designed to make average people THINK they really care! When, in reality, it's all just a layer of insulation! Insulating EA from the public backlash for actually doing very little to help the player base! 

    Nothing really gets done except some token bans, harsh words and empty promises! 

    The simple truth is...  EA is ran only for the greater good of it's stockholders with the only goal of making the most money for the least effort!  

    Nothing will ever change until the games are sold back an independent company that believes in GAME INTEGRITY! Unfortunately, this will never happen as long as the game is profitable!

    for EA is not easy BAN players because 1st many false report 2nd hardware is not easy to detect but the way for find cheaters is very very easy you calculate fire shoted and how many hit the mark and how many headshots....i understand exists many pro's but human is not bot and is not possible human fire 27 shots and 25 go to hit......

    then another big problem are server, i see when use fast fire guns half of shots are not registered for example r99 for me register less damage than alternator i not know why but for me is always like this.

    on ranked i dead, for strange, always because i take 4/6 headshot from r99 but is not cheater 🙂

    Reporting cheaters doesn't work, stating otherwise is wrong. 

    See what I did there  ; )

    @lnxtv I was wondering about this. I just did a search on cronos zen and read about this and I don't see how they can detect it with an anti cheat program since it is external. Maybe this makes it easier for console players to cheat than PC players.

    Regardless, this is upsetting because I know now how all these players that have cheated me are doing their impossible movements and accurate shots. If winning badges that aren't real and only pixels on a screen means that much to them, and they have no shame, then they must have no lives, it's sad.
