xxxx followed by 8 random odd numbers

Just played 7 games and have seen a comeback of Chinese cheaters ( Yes, they are definitely Chinese, because I am Chinese and I can tell, thank you )

So, as I have said before, there are those spammers whose name is " xxxx ( stupidly removed by the EA admins here as they don't want to scare anyone from cheating industry away as it could cause a profit loss in microtransactions ) " followed by 8 random odd numbers, also there are those " xxxx ( stupidly removed by the EA admins here as they don't want to scare anyone from cheating industry away as it could cause a profit loss in microtransactions ) " followed by 8 random digital numbers.

Also, there are those IDs are only made up by 8 random odd numbers.

The first 2 weeks of April, all those spamming IDs ( as well as lots of cheating IDs ) seems disappeared.

Just now I have seen some comeback, with new types IDs that also had 8 random odd numbers.

They are " xxxx ( stupidly removed by the EA admins here as they don't want to scare anyone from cheating industry away as it could cause a profit loss in microtransactions ) " followed by 8 random odd numbers as well as other initials, all followed by 8 random odd numbers.

So, Respawn & EA, imagine you play 5 rounds of Apex, each game starting with " This is your champion - blah blah blah followed by 8 random odd numbers, with 3500 + kills "

And each of those games all ending with killed by some aimbot whose ID is " blah blah blah followed by 8 random odd numbers "

I am just asking, if you, Respawn & EA, would like to instantly ban all IDs on this planet that had 8 consecutive random odd numbers ?

Of course, there are 50 servers in Apex, distributing 50,000,000 players.

Lots of you, never played the " PC-Taiwan-Server " version of Apex Legends, and you don't give a damn about what's going on in this version of Apex, and you even hope those who play the " PC-Taiwan-Server " version of Apex to shut up on the forum because it is not your problem.

Then I tell you there are 50,000,000 players playing and there are all sorts of issues in this game and the most fundamental one yet very critical one is the cheater + spammer issue.

And don't you expect those post will disappear from this forum, you have to understand this.

Because those whom been mistreated by cheaters must have a voice in this forum.

There are countless number of players been mistreated by cheaters and we will not stop to voice this issue in this forum.

@TJ400000 So I just tried out a taiwan server and I can safely say that these servers truly are full of hackers. I invite you to try North american servers. They are nothing like the taiwan server I tried. Chances are you will enjoy the game a lot more with latency issues and no hackers than the opposite.

I hope this helps!

@OPL3XITYGood to hear that Virginia-1 is clean of cheaters.
At least I think this will not stopping people in NA playing this game because of cheaters.
Anyway, Respawn is dealing with the cheating issue in Asia, and also other issues this free game have.
I can see this F2P sensation had really gained a good player base in NA, and I hope players in NA base could help keep Apex going, because players here in Asia do see this game dying though it is a really good game.

I removed the name above, I get that you want to alert us or other players in case they see this. But no name and shame on the forums and no starting of a witch hunt. @TJ400000

Just something to keep in mind, if you see someone cheating and killed 5k people It doesn't mean that account was cheating all 5k. A compromised account could have happened and that was the first game you saw it play at.

If you want to report players to follow this article: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassment/

All right, you just removing those names as you have nothing else to do.
And you do not really know nothing besides some stupid rulees by EA.
I mean, even the way you speak sounds like you don't really care about the gamers.
Besides I don't need to warn anyone, it is just those names were known by everyone in the Asian continent, yet the devs from US don't handle anything.

So let me get this straight, so an account got compromised, they changed the name to something ridiculous like douyu543534534, hack with it ruining fun for both the person who got hacked, and the players that have to deal with it, but you are protecting the people who are hacking by removing the name? You really think that there are legit players out there with the name douyu5345345345 who's accounts get hacked? You guys have a systematic problem on your hands, and when every single player that has that douyu tag is cheating, protecting them makes you seem weak as a company.

Does anyone at EA play Apex right now? Does anyone at EA play with aimbot? Do you remember the difference between Apex now and on release? Do you think Apex is in a good spot right now?
For an example, I used to be able to play Apex for hours. I had many people online. Now I can't get on for more than a few rounds, almost nobody online. What changed?
From ... week 3-4, it was obvious when someone knew your exact position or shot faster, then speed hackers, etc. Now they actually think they're skilled. The whole game is modded.
Well with all the protection for cheaters and the way that spectating was setup is enough for me. A lot of your players are blatantly cheating, spamming with macros, not toggling off, staring at walls. There's plenty of afk bots in-game for xp and the latest aimbot changes your trackers' stats. So virtually everything in-game is being hacked; but there's no cheaters, just really good players. And everyone online has some ... insane name thinking it'll protect them or every name is taken now?
My friend that quit long ago figures you guys are milking these bans so they'll remake accounts and spend more. I hope that's not true because one account should be enough. Why not get creative with updated purchases with a huge player base instead?
I had high hopes for Apex, so did my friends. I'm tired of out damaging blatant botters and then they call me bad. Apex was supposed to be fast paced, but they all camp, abusing walls. It's backwards.

I get that you are frustrated and you have all right to be, meeting cheaters in any game is frustrating. Name and shame won't solve anything it actually gives more credit to the cheater that you are highlighting his actions and talking about him in the public.

We are working on cheater and we have said that as much. I personally would love to announce an update on what we are doing but currently, at the moment we don't have anything to announce, I get it sounds very official but that its because it is.

I play games and I'm a gamer as much as the next guy and I fully understand the problem with experience of meeting cheater, I have in various games and it's annoying. Because I fell that match just become a waste of time that you could have spent on something else but you want to spend that time on the game so we all get frustrated.

They have to protect those players because they are rich, they like to buy hacks, also they would make lots of microtransactions.
And because there are so many rich hackers, the devs must consider not to scare them away, that's why there is this method of putting all cheaters in the cheaters-only server in Titanfall series, which is a very innovative method created by Respawn.
This way, devs don't ban the cheaters by the hardway but treat them an alternative way that could help soften the loss on profits
