Re: Solution to address 3rd partying and teaming up in solo mode

@Koochi-Q Apex doesn't state anywhere that it is forbidden to team up in solo (like pubg does in its rules of conduct). This way, it leaves the solo thing to interpretation. you start as solo, there can be a sole winner, etc.. Also, I don't think there is a written general set of rules for the battle royale genre and it would be bad to not allow creators to think outside the box and come up with original interpretations.

Anyway, the idea that I suggest may sound really odd, hard to grasp. But the experience in Destiny 2 proved how smooth it can be to transition from a public area to an instance available only to you (and your teammates) and provided an interesting way to lock events in the public area, while Titanfall 2 demonstrated how amazing it can be to jump between different instances of the same map.

@DoYaSeeMeApex now have a "Cooperating with enemy" report button, what's your thoughts on this? Respawn are not a bunch of kids making a game, they know that teamming-up in solo is wrong.

If you still believe that this is not the problem, why don't you just have it your way? play this game like you're in one of those movies. It just a matter of time for people who have the same mindset like you getting banned.

Many of us obviously think that this is a problem, and you keep defending your belief on team-up. You don't solve any problem, your ideas are just gonna make this game even harder to balance.

So, why don't you just leave us alone because it's clear that we are not on the same team and let Respawn do their job.

My thoughts on the cooperating with enemy button? Well, it's going to be a lot of work for them to fight against this phenomenon, people will be angry and throw stones at devs for not doing a perfect cleanup, threatening to leave the game and whatnot.
I believe it's not a problem for me and I will play it my own way, respecting the rules of conduct that they will have to put in place after this testing period. FYI, I don't use a mic and I don't have friends playing this game, I play team mode more often because I prefer it. There is 0 chance of ever finding me teaming up in solo mode, am sorry to disappoint some of you.
I presented my idea as an alternative, something to discuss about, not to replace the existing because it's broken. I have nothing against the traditional br, I am just open to other ideas. No one is required to have the exact same views as me or to read my posts, feel free to move along and ignore, don't waste time ranting and hating 🙂.
