When will ratting be penalized
I can not sat and when you get into a match and randoms avoid any fighting and hide for rp I really think this needs to be a reporting option

"Landing in a different part of a large POI with one other team, looting up, and fighting the other team is widely considered to be best practice in ranked Apex."
I would have said that this is one particular practice that is favored by a majority of players, but is certainly not the only path forward in this game. I'm personally suspicious of the practice because I find that most players (that I see in the game) choose it as a method of preventing boredom without a thought to risk/benefit.
And I'm not trying to bring anyone around to my way of thinking so much as just trying to point out that in-game behaviors are not always what they seem. What may appear to be pointless and counter-productive can sometimes be very carefully considered and deliberate. Whether it can count as successful depends entirely on how you measure success. One of the things that I find frustrating about this game is that the ranking system encourages players to treat the game like an arena shooter instead of a survival game. The scenario you described could certainly fit that mould, although I have to acknowledge, especially knowing a little bit about your personal gameplay philosophy, that there is more to it than that.

I mean, again, as I see it, players will do what they think will have them win, and right now that’s ratting. If not all the time then at least when things go badly. This is not a very sportsmanship oriented game right now.
Everything is fair in love and war. I don't see how they can penalize ratting. I do it. I loot, find a good hiding spot, and wait for the last 2 teams to kill each other. If they don't, I hope the other team is just one person.
Looking at your question from a logistic point of view, let's say Respawn says "Ratting is Forbidden". How would they enforce such a rule?? Report them you say? They can't just take your word for it. They can't take kills or damage into account, because I am a bad shot. Other people could claim the same thing... I am a horrible shot. Recently I was on Broken Moon and I was actively seeking another player to kill me. I wanted to join a friend and didn't need some quitter penalty. It took me forever to find a wraith pawing through a bin, I punched her because I didn't have a weapon and she ran off. There are some days you can drop into maps and it is like not one person is near you. Thus enforcement of a no ratting policy would never fly.
You know we would have very odd BR matches, if everyone ratted to the very end.
