Re: Urgently need idle penalities.

wtf is this piggy backing thing? it's a battle royale, the point is to survive until the very end, be the last man/squad alive, no matter how, so why would they ban players for playing their game?

    Piggy-backing is a term used by the developers to describe players who leech off their teammates in order to gain experience. As Apex Legends is only available in three-player squads, there are bound to be cases in which the teammates’ skill levels don’t quite match up. However, players who purposely refuse to help their team by not participating in a match need to be dealt with.

    According to Respawn, “Piggy-backing is when a player drafts off other players in the squad to carry them to a good position and level up faster but doesn’t actually participate in the match.”

    This includes players who hinder their teammates by not picking up weapons, avoiding combat and not dealing any damage.
  • @SlivPTS"This includes players who hinder their teammates by not picking up weapons, avoiding combat and not dealing any damage." so i can report all the clowns who deal 50 damage in 20min?

    To be completely honest, i have no idea...
    I think everything about this "Piggy-backing" is nonsense.

    As i already wrote, game is promoting such gameplay... banning players for their own dumb decisions is pure stupidity.
