Is EA even dealing with obvious stream snipers and harassment reports in this game?I'm seeing one stream after the other being ruined by a rising amount of stream snipers that not only ruin for their own team (gameplay sabotage) but also harass the streamers on a personal level, involving close friends and family. This is an ongoing issue and some streamers have had the same group following them for years... FOR YEARS!There are even evidence that these people are DDOSing to shut down streams, literally a federal crime, yet EA does seemingly nothing.How hard is it to hardware ban a player repeatedly harassing other players, ruining the game for an entire team, committing federal crimes etc. It's even more alerting when it's the same group of people and nothing is happening.In all honesty EA, you should be taking this more seriously than you do, it's your title they are using to harass members of your community, people that have bought your game, and you are being passive about it. This goes for not only stream snipers that are using illegal software to always be able to enter a streamers lobby on the opposite team, but also harassment and cheating in general.Do you not care or are you just to lazy/greedy to put time and money into investigating this disgusting behavior?

I'm starting to believe this is just a ploy to get views on his Youtube channel.Oh well.

@sirmadsentv nope they do not care. There is a very famous streamer who has been harrassed since launch, they talked about it once, but the harassment has continued. However, don't be like another streamer and criticize a dev by name in a content video, or they will actually ban you in game. Seems very counterintuitive, but the devs are super sensitive to any negative feedback.EA and DICE already have our money. Every resource put into this game after launch is a profit loss. They will do the bare minimum or less if possible.

@sirmadsentv Wait?? you watched someone playing this game for 10 hours?? but also they put themselves out there for financial gain and then whine when people get into the same lobby and kill them? both sound ridiculous to me? but that's just my opinion.......

Obviously watching them click the match type and simultaneously clicking it can work for getting into the same match (my buddies and I had to do that whenever we had a group larger than 4 people, absolutely sucks). But yeah, not sure what they are expecting, I don't even know if other games have any form of "stream-sniping" in their rules.

@Ai-FluffyKnowing how hard it is just to get together with friends I had my doubts that this was possible.What do I know.

You obviously don't know what's going on or the scope of the problem.
First of all. Financial gain? Not everyone who streams does to become big and famous and make big money. By stating this you've already lost my respect.
Second. "people", we are talking the same 4-5 people that repeatedly join the same lobby only to harass one player, using the stream to pinpoint where they are and kill them. For then hours straight the same 4-5 people got into the same lobby just to ruin for one guy, effectively sabotaging for their own team by not playing the game.
These 4-5 people are literally joining lobbies, when one of them gets into the same lobby they tell the others so they can join and then harass. There are times when they end up on the same team, they then leave only to queue up again until they get into the opposite team.
These "people" have openly admitted to doing this saying that "we don't care because EA wont do anything".
You try and be harassed for 10 hours and then not "whine" about it. You have the right to your opinion, but please educate yourself before using it as an argument.

Yeah, probably not a software. There's 4-5 people doing this so they can just queue up single and who ever gets into the lobby the others just join that guy.
The streamer is using snipe screens so it doesn´t show when he's entering a queue and also shuts of game sound so they can't hear button clicks etc. Yet they manage to be in the same lobby within a minute.

I don't usually like Streamers because the direction they have steered the game in. That said It's pretty low to follow a guy around and make his life a living hell.
I doubt anyone here can help in the matter he needs to contact EA. Or keep filling out reports however long that takes. Is he sending in video of the harassment?

Yep, reporting every game, contacting EA etc. But apparently harassing and following players is not EA's priority.
All staff probably busy working on what the next cosmetic should look like.

@sirmadsentv sounds like its most likely you otherwise why would you care so much? but the point to be fair is EA doesn't stop blatant hac#ers so why do you think they care about this, why don't they/ you just block those 4-5 players in the games settings to never see them again? seems a pointless childish act to try and keep following someone into a lobby,

and your right it is my opinion, don't try to get personal with attacks by telling me to educate myself, I am far more educated than you most likely, so lets leave that there. its a game, just a game, but it will never be controlled by these devs who constantly break it.
