What's the point of having a report player?
You can watch everyone cheat. What's the point of being able to report someone when you allow cheating?
Forum Discussion
no, you have to say something to offend someone with EA's alphabet of harmful WORDS to get banned.
Cheating is ok tho...quite obvious by how much goes on
The reporting system works for you, probably because of your status 🙂
The useless eater minions don't get preferential treatment.
No this has nothing to do with my status.
Because as far as the game goes my status is the same as everyone else.
@Asmodeus566 I just played a match with a squad mate who dropped 19 kills. Cant say his name because that's "shaming "or whatever ridiculous woke policy that entails.
I followed the guy around, watching him 1 tap everyone who came near him. It was so ridiculous. He knew where they were, where to approach from, when to push when their backs were turned or not looking. Not even trying to hide it, that's the thing. Ran to every fight and just obliterated everyone.
I reported it and doubt very much Ill get an email saying thanx lol.

The Name and Shame policy has nothing to do with "wokeness", rather it's just there to help prevent witch hunts. Otherwise, we have situations where anyone can just pop up on the forums and say, "Hey, @Wargasmatron was cheating in my game, why aren't they banned?"
And from there, as no one here on the forums would be able to verify that claim, we get people harassing them just because someone's pointed a finger. Even if you're 100% sure someone is cheating, naming them on the forums does nothing because no one here is able to ban or suspend an account.
So really, that would just give us the worst of both outcomes - actual cheaters don't get actioned from forum posts, and those that get falsely accused just end up getting harassed and defamed inappropriately. It may be a little cathartic to post someone's name, but it does nothing to actually address the problem.
By sending in an actual report, whether in-game or through this form if you have videos/screenshots/any other evidence to add, the team that's actually able to verify that activity with our records and tools will be able to take a look at the situation.
Does that always guarantee a ban? No, that will depend on what we're able to verify with our investigation. Sometimes the team will use those to get more information about how a cheat works to do a ban wave down the road and give cheaters less of an opportunity to adjust to the actions we're taking behind the scenes. Sometimes it's an open and shut case and a ban's issued (more often than you might think). And sometimes, a player was just having a really good game.
Thank you for reporting that player. Regardless of the outcome that helps refine our tools and methods just that little bit more and is always greatly appreciated.
