Tbh is anyone really surprised by the hack last night? it was common knowledge weeks ago among You-Tubers,Pro Players,members across various forums etc that there were hackers infiltrating the game causing thing like 'slo-mo servers' etc for their advantage & yet very little has been done about so it was kind of inevitable that a hack blocking players out of the game was going to happen at some point.Over the seasons we (the players) have had to endure various blatant cheaters/hackers who use 'wall-hack,aimbot, speed-hacks etc' with nothing done about it & yet Season 9 seems to have become so prevalent with cheating/hacking making the situation worse than ever.And one of the many reasons why cheating/hacking is worse now than ever is because the game has such a useless 'Report Player' system particularly when it comes to reporting players playing on the same format.For me primarily as a PS 4/5 player whenever I've tried to report another PS player I get by-passed direct to PS themselves & have to navigate through their own anti-cheat mechanism (which is useless in itself).It's as though Respawn/EA has absolved any responsibility for any cheating their own end & passed the buck.I has always seemed as though haven't/don't take the whole cheating/hacking thing seriously enough.And what happens to any of these players who happen to get banned? they set up alternate accounts & start again presumably.Wouldn't banning the cheats by blocking their ISP be an idea?.
EA boasted about the prosecuting one of Apex's biggest hackers 'Tufi' & yet according to reports by various Youtuber's 'Tufi' hasn't been reported & is still recording his daily exploits & still playing Apex & running rings around the Respawn Dev's.
