Thank you devs for addressing cheating

I just saw the press release that as of the next update a certain device (that I won't mention here to respect forum rules) that allows cheats by altering scripts will now no longer work with Apex Legends on the PS5 system, and I think it said the game will crash if it is attempted.

I have complained about this on here and inside the game itself as have numerous others, and while this is just one console, I can imagine they are on their way to stopping all cheating if they already tackled this one.

I am now optimistic about the future of the game, now when all other consoles and cheating sources are addressed hopefully it will cut the amount of cheaters down dramatically. 

Thank you Respawn for listening to us and finally getting the ball rolling on solving this major problem in the game.

  • This news is really great. Unfortunately, it has one small flaw.
    The honour belongs to Sony, not Respawn. You can read about it under this link.

    Speaking of the problems at Apex, I'd like to make a reflection on something I heard in a video about the rise and fall of COD.
    The video said that Activision has a patent on matching players who have bought a skin with weaker opponents.

    Now just think about how many problems this could explain for Apex, assuming that EA or Respawn had bought the right to use this mechanic from Activision and installed it in Apex. Unfortunately, this is all speculative, as I have no proof.

    No matter who uses this mechanic, for me it's a disguised pay-to-win.

    Note on the third point: I have never claimed otherwise. I have only ever made a consideration and said that it is speculative because I can't prove anything. Please read up.

    Note to fourth: Since I can't edit my comment (I couldn't find it), I've posted it again in English.

    Note to fifth: see my note to third.

    Note on the final comment: I read such a conversation in the German forum. There, a Hero or Champion user was accused of being employed by EA and therefore not being allowed to answer so openly. He denied this and I believe him.

    If the Heros and Champions really want to help, then please, finally make it clear to the developers that Apex has become increasingly unpopular (worse?) in recent seasons because things have been changed and problems are not being fixed effectively. Honestly, do you really think that Respawn or EA have understood what needs to be done when you read all the complaints here in the forum? Do you really think that the players who have been playing Apex since the beginning are just making it up that Apex used to be better?

    No offense, but when you talk about special privileges and have a big red banner in your sign, then it should be clear to you that such assumptions exist. And unfortunately other heroes and champions are also thrown into this pot. That should also be clear. Try to get this out of everyone's mind in the community. I don't think you can do that.

    Thank you again for you reply and honesty. 

    I understand where you are coming from but others that read such ambiguous possibilities take them to be fact when they are in fact not such.

    Normally next to your post where it has the date time stamp there are three dots if you click on that there are options one of them is Edit. From what I remember you should be able to Edit your own post. You would not be able to Edit someone else's post though.

    Thanks for the clarification on where you read the info regarding Champs and Hero's. Like I said we, Champs and Hero's do not work for EA . This is also clearly noted on our banners or just below them. We are Volunteers just trying or best to help out. Open discussions are not only allowed but encouraged, Feed back and constructive criticism is wanted, disagreeing with EA is also OK, all in all as long as we all stay within the Forum rules. 

    We have other means of communicating with the CM's and do in fact bring quite a few post to their attention regarding a wide range of issues. 

    Like I mentioned before, IMHO EA could do a better job with fighting cheaters, and although I feel that this seasons MM was good/better than the last few seasons, that is only my perspective from playing and I do believe that EA could do a much better job at it.  I stayed away from Ranked play this season because of last seasons ranked issues and did not see an improvement in it, EA could and should do better with this as well. It is not easy for them I think to get the right balance. I hope they can get there though.  

    If you have any questions etc please ask and I will do my best to answer/help if you need it, may take a bit before I answer but I will provide one at least. 

    Again thank you for the exchange of information. No hard feelings.

    Thanks for the hint about editing a comment. I actually didn't notice the three points at all.

    Thank YOU for the exchange of information. Also no hard feelings.
