uh oh, i have also seen afk bots in TDM on EU and Asia servers
i only killed them a few times though. It's probably auto-dectetion kicking in if you go like 50-0 in scores
I think it's crazy that you can be banned just because there are AFK account farmers in the lobby. I think Respawn should detect these bots very easily since they do no damage and just run to a spot and fire their Peacekeepers.
From Respawn's point of view they probably think you are "in on it" for some ridiculous reason. They probably think you are controlling the bots and then getting easy weapon mastery challenge completion
What are we supposed to do if there are bot accounts in our lobby Respawn!? Leave them alone or leave match? Deal with the bot problem instead of punishing regular players.
Imagine living near Singapore server and you want to play TDM. You'd have to play on EU or NA with 300ms ping just because the most basic bot AFK farmers are not dealt with. I report evey bot account for "inactive during match" but there's nothing more I can do
You banned people probably don't have much luck with getting ban removed but try anyway. Maybe live chat on EA's help website and explain situation.
I'm scared to play TDM now because AFK bots are having a field day
Do not play mixtape right now because it's unsafe.
You literally get banned for trying to kill bots that you have no control of in any way.
It's not my choice if I get bots or players it's just matchmaking.
What the hell am I supposed to do? Leave the game and get 10min penalty and possibly getting suspended/banned for disruptive behavior due to leaving? Or kill the bots by myself and get banned anyways...
It's a lose lose scenario for the players that get these bot filled lobbies.
But like you said I think easy anti cheat thinks we're in on it for easy wins or something and can't tell that we're just trying to play a tdm game with real actual players.
This proves how their anti cheat has flaws and time and time again it proves that many people are getting false banned and most of them never get their accounts back.
I mean a few months ago people were getting banned for using Linux steamdeck..how does that even happen? Fix your anti cheat,fix your game and unban those who were caught in this mess.
It's crazy how you can get banned just because you want to play TDM but unfortunately get matched into a bot filled lobby.
That's insane
Been playing this game since day 1 with the same background apps. Steam, discord,razer synapse and vanguard, never had any trouble till a few days ago...
First of all I'm running vanguard which is harsher than EAC from what I know and I never got banned in any riot games.
