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.......

The streamer did 100 reports all together. Today they are back stream sniping.I'm not aware of any special "software" that can match you onto the opposite team. 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.

Wouldn't the streaming platform be slightly more responsible for policing the harassing behaviour vs EA/Dice? Unless the harassment is thorough ingame voice or chat and then they have tools for you to block/report people that do that. Don't get me wrong, if there is something that can be done on EA/Dice's end then it should be, but how can they stop someone from watching a twitch stream?

"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."

"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."

You contradicted yourself which makes me question every thing else you wrote.

From some poking around Reddit it seems the streamer in question here is AsheBF.
350,000+ kills with the Nightbird. That's an astonishing ~450 nightbird kills, per day...every...single...day...since BF2042 launched.
Next closest in kills I could find was only 170,000 nightbird kills.
AsheBF isn't just a Nightbird main. He is THE nightbird main. Stats suggest his typical match is 50-70kills, with low single digit deaths. Whatever in-game 'harassment' that might be going on doesn't seem to be very effective.

Ashe is on the Australian/OCE servers. It's a low pop region, so I can imagine it's the same handful of players getting farmed over and over, day after day. Ashe's relentless farming of the region for content seems to have pushed some player in the region over the edge. There's a handful of players that just hunt Ashe. Others just leave when they see him join the server.
It's gotten pretty toxic from both sides. The personal attacks by some are way out of line, but I really don't see a problem with the other forms of 'harassment' that are being claimed.
