Re: EA will ban more cheaters to reduce toxicity

@pandareno1999 It’s only been a few weeks, I don’t report often, only if it’s blatantly obvious, yet none of them have resulted in a ban, most likely because it’s a 3rd party device and undetectable.

    @Gabrielmojo26 Actually a controller can move while looting and stuff like that with some very specific settings and only controller on pc, Extessy (streamer) does this. Those emails are generally more dismissive than they should be, it should be explain why so that the reporter won’t be accidentally giving false reports.

    @BigMacAttack8u Yeah with steam settings that I don't think are legal in comp but somehow legal in every day play. It's pretty much the same as running a strike pack with macros for me.

    @Gabrielmojo26 Console will be a cheater if you see it. What bigmac mentions is a steam configuration that turns the directional pad into wasd. You don't see algs pros doing it because it isn't allowed.
  • @hayhor I don't have time to look this up, but I'm almost certain there is also a way to remap console controller key binds that allow you to move around with a thumb stick while looting a box. It comes at a cost, I think you can't ping anymore or something like that.

    @pandareno1999 It the left stick did movement of the player while in the box while the right stick picked stuff and a button selected stuff anyone with back paddles could do it.

    I've never seen what you mention tho.

    Do they not realize that a PvP only game with no single player content will ALWAYS tilt toward toxicity?

    Have they not seen the history of online competitive video games?

    Really, the only way to get rid of the toxicity is to remove the PvP aspects.

    Going to go ahead and lock this thread as we don't allow discussions around cheating on AHQ.
