Protecting from cheaters
Dear Developers, Please Improve Reporting and Player Protection!
Reporting system
- Please make reporting cheaters and spammers fast and easy.
- In BF2042, even after 500+ hours, I still don’t know how to properly report — this should not happen.
- Prevent abuse: only one valid report per player should count, so no one can spam the system.
- Do not repeat the mistakes of CoD or CS.
Community Patrol
- Use a community review system like FACEIT. Give rewards (e.g., unique skins) to players whose decisions are accurate 70%+ of the time. This way, the community helps you review cases for free, with real motivation to keep the game clean.
- Add a reporting reputation rank to filter out players who just report everyone.
Protect Paying Users
- Please protect players who purchased the game from free-to-play accounts with few hours. Paid users should have priority to play with each other without free-to-play users, who often bring many cheaters.
- Free accounts should be placed in their own sandbox with low SBMM priority, and only after 200+ hours and verification can they play with premium users.
- Motivate players to become Premium users with better servers and matchmaking.
- Only verified accounts (phone or ID) should get higher priority in matchmaking.
Transparency
- Please add killcams to see clearly how you were killed.
I think these steps will help identify cheaters, make the reporting process more reliable, and clarify SBMM for free-to-play users, without toxic community and cheaters. These types of players should have their own sandbox with users like them.
