All these rules serve only one purpose. That no one should be aware of how many cheaters in Apex really are. Recently 16.000 accounts for 25.000.000 players have been banned! It is well-known that the number of banned accounts will always be only a small fraction of the actual number of cheaters. That's how the eyes and lips are just shy of this uncomfortable subject and telling the people that everything is all right. exactly the same thing is happening now with CS:GO. The game has become a cheater training ground, it can not be played normally. And yet on the CS:GO forum, every post about cheaters is removed and everyone is banished for any reason who dares to complain about them. Moderators additionally try to break the reality and contradict the facts. Here it will be similar. If you recently banned 16,000 accounts, you can assume that at least ten times as many players still cheat without any consequences. It is also known that private and paid cheats are virtually undetectable. In CS:GO, people have been cheating for 2-3 years without hiding it and without any consequences.
It's not one purpose at all. It prevents butt hurt players calling out anybody who kills them a cheat.
It doesn't matter what you think you saw, until it's looked into, people are innocent till proven guilty.
Hell, I've been accused of hacking on console lmao. I'm average, no pro player and yet other players will look for any excuse for them being killed and their ego dented.
Yes there are cheaters and maybe a lot, but I can say that there is possibly more fake reports than legit, which also slows the process down of actually finding legit cheaters.
This is the same practice on all titles and forums I have frequented over the years. It's common practice.
