The Cheater Problem is Artificial

All I see on the forums is complaining about cheaters. I have yet to see a single person I truly, without a doubt, can say is a cheater. I've been playing games for way too long and for most of my time gaming I've played at a competitive level. I'm not trying to brag, I'm just giving some background. 

This is a free game obviously, and that attracts a very wide audience. I suspect that most of you guys calling hax play games casually. You're just not expecting to come across"sweaty tryhards". You don't have their mindset, you aren't trying your hardest, you probably have a better social life. 

There are a ton of people out there who are just plain better than you. Please don't take offense to that, I'm not trying to insult anyone here. I too get owned all the time and I go and spectate them if I think something was fishy. It always has turned out that they just outplayed me or got lucky. You have to be able to admit when you lost a fight or you will never get better at this game. In fact accepting defeat and learning from it is just a good life skill. 

I'm not trying to make a "gIt GuD nOoB" post. I'm more so trying to get people to be realistic. Sure, there definitely are a lot of cheaters. But you're not running into them every game like you think. There are just a lot of good gamers out there. For too many years people have been needlessly calling hax to make themselves feel better about getting owned. Let's at least try to put an end to it.

  • Exactly this. Man, forums are a weird place lol. OP was just stating basically facts that have nothing to do with anyone specific yet people still showed up to freak out on him for herasy. "How dare you say he wasn't cheating! He killed me! Waaaaaa"

    The sad part is this doesn't even touch on Lag Switch users, Discord Injectors, or the Glitch abusers. 

    But ether way, EA doesn't seem to care that any of them are wrecking their chances of becoming a serious competitor in the Battle Royal market. 

  • HAHAHA.

    Had a guy easily wipe my whole squad in very few shots, thought it was fishy so I watched him for a bit.

    The game must tell you when someone watches because he then acted extremely oddly for several minutes before just running straight into an enemy squad and dieing without even fighting back.

    By acting oddly I mean, he was staring at the ground while walking around, and spinning in circles in one place while looking at the ground, eventually when I wouldn't leave he had himself killed so I couldn't record any wrong doings.

    I almost suspect the looking at the ground was a tactic to hide his aim or possibly wall hacks?    He was obviously trying to make me bored so i would leave with no evidence.

    That my friend seem to me to be a cheater avoiding being banned.

    16000 is a large number indeed. That is until you consider the player base of 25000000. It's .00064 of the players. Sure, theirs plenty more to be caught. But stop acting like half the people you see are cheaters lol. 


    So in your opinion the 16000 originally banned was a very large portion of the entire cheater community?

    And the 1000 players banned every day since is also the largest portion of the cheater community?

    What makes you feel this way?

    We need to consider anticheat like a filter, no cheat filter is perfect, most are actually very poor and rely on human interpretation to enable the bans, hence why these cheaters are not instantly banned upon committing the act.

    I would say even 50% is extremely generous to expect being caught.

    Plus you need to consider attachment rate, casuals arent playing this game 14hrs a day, but the people so obsessed with winning are, and these are the people who pay real money for cheats.

    So of the 600,000 concurrent players at any given time, well over 1% are likely to be cheating every game!

    With 60 players per match that is around 1 cheater in every match on average.

    This likely spans between 4-6 cheaters in some matches and none in some others.

    Add in the fact many people like OP want to deny what happens,

    "oh that guy must have found a OHK gun the second he landed and just one shot our squad with his massive skills regardless if we all have varying levels of armor up to purple, they must just be good and can make guns do 2-3 times more damage then they say on the box"

    Or maybe some gods have fallen to earth and decided to spend their powers playing online video games?

    This whole thread is based on a sneering joke in the title of the thread itself, which is based on the name of a cheat website.

    That's been the whole purpose of this thread. Just to scoff and sneer at genuine, honest players who come to the forums to complain about cheating.


    Yeah, the title is a "artificial" snearing joke made by an "artificial" player talking about "artificial" cheaters!!! 😃

  • This is probably the best topic here.

    That's right, there is not many cheaters in game. I play since release, and there was MAYBE 1 guy, who I think, could cheat.

    Kids on this forum are getting out of hand with their posts "OMG cheater, hahaha, b4mb00ZleD, XDDD,  ahahahah, ban everyone except me, hahaha, anti-cheat sh*t". I know that IQ is someting you are born with, but please just try to control your behaviour on the internet forum.

    The game is loosing players, because they already reached the "peak", it's normal in every game.

    Before posting next silly topic, just remember that when somebody killed you, in 99% he was just better. There is many good players, which you have no chances against. Kids here act like they are the best in game and if they die, someone was for sure cheating. It doesn't work like this.

    Worst problem for game are Wallhackers and Aimboters, but EAC is already working against them.

  • Sooo many responses saying “cheating is real!!!11!111!” 

    Yes it is and even * OP acknowedlged that. Stop it people

    there are not NEARLY as many cheaters as people think. Look at the numbers. People like to use feeling over facts which is absurd

    I literally cannot deal with how stupid people are on here
