Hello,Just wondering EAs response to the growing posts on YouTube of ESP hackers. The last two installments of BF had great issues with hackers and the response for BFV was simply to ban talk of the matter on the forums. Is there going to be action or denial on this game and hacking? If the stance is denial or that "We do not allow discussions of cheating" etc etc, where is the proper EA accredited place to do so? Denial alone is not a solution.

Most users prove time and time again they can't keep these sorts of discussions civil and name & shame is removed because it can actually come back and bite the accuser in the butt (whole legal thing, that and other factors make it a high priority ToS issue).If you know of any channels sharing/selling software and posting evidence of cheats and stuff, you're asked to forward that to Tos and support. Easy Anti-Cheat is just one step they are taking but there is no such thing as a perfect system, that's why they encourage other users to come forward.Please report suspected cheaters as described here:https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/report-players-for-cheating-abuse-and-harassmentContact an EA Game Advisor for more assistance in the matter here.https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/https://twitter.com/EAHelp/http://www.facebook.com/EAHelpHub/

@dogred Aaand this is why PC should not have been added to crossplay for this exact reason, we tried to tell you DICE.Between this and specialist put it in a bag because it's done.

@dogred called it months ago. A proper AC in Battlefield seems to be beating a dead horse.

@dogred I don't know, is it really? One 'content creator' writing about this and even putting some emphasis on the issue himself. And one clip where an obvious awful guy is using hacks which barely seem to make a difference for him.

I expect most hackers to be awful and if it's like in BF4, those people are generally kicked quite fast.

Now what the community needs is a bit more power. They need server tools that allows them to host servers and have admins kick players that do not play fair.

Anticheat mechanisms will always be bypassed and manual review by DICE will take a long time. Effectively kicking someone and moving on will be much faster.

So, instead raise your voice and keep asking and asking for server tools. Remember that the Portal feature is NOT enough to combat these people.

@KingGV Yeah, I gotta say I've seen some sus stuff already. Considering it's EAC the APEX hacks are already being ported over. Nothing EA/DICE can do about it.
