About the anti-cheat stuff

My last post got deleted for inappropriate content—sorry about that, even though I actually censored it.
So, anyone else in the community had the same experience?

Basically, newly registered accounts on this PC get banned, while old accounts don't. Also, I heard there were a bunch of Battlefield 1 bans a few days ago, and apparently some people got banned even though they hadn't opened the game in months.

On top of that, I requested a download of my EA data for this account, but it's been over 24 hours and they still haven't got it ready. Is my data really that massive? Feels like it's about to crash their system.

Also, I've been seeing two types of posts on the forum: one kind always complaining about how the game is full of **bleep** cheaters and the anti-cheat is completely useless, and the other kind reporting that their accounts got banned for no reason at all.

Pretty interesting. Is the anti-cheat actually banning cheaters, or are they just picking people at random to make their anti-cheat "stats" look good?

Can someone please reply, or are my posts just getting shadowbanned?

  • The forum rules offer a significant amount of leeway for a CM or mod to ban posts.

    One thing that gets me is that if you insinuate a naughty word, even if you don't say naughty word, then your post can be considered still naughty.

    Rules like that annoy the poo outta me.  Just tell me straight that the CM/mods have the power to remove posts for whatever reason they deem.  I'm ok with that, at least it's honest.  Don't delete posts just because I said poo and someone might think I meant something else.

     

    As for the cheaters... Every time they put out their stats, the % increases.  They measure by "impacted games" rather than the amount of cheaters in terms of their success.  So that percent stays the same even with 6,400 players in 100 games, or 640 players in 10 games.  By their own data, their anti-cheat is becoming less and less effective at catching cheaters BEFORE they enter the game and affect other players.  I blame the Freeware Redsuck.  Make Redsuck a paid mode, just like the regular game, and the percent will lower, mark my words.

    New accounts getting banned is normal in the industry, and has been for years.  The system is much more likely to flag a level 2 player who gets a 72% headshot rate and over 10/1 KD.  Even more so when it is repeated game after game.  An older player might get a lucky game and get 85% headshot and 12/1KD, but didn't have that for 200 hours prior, or 100 hours after.  Much easier to identify flukes.

    Old, not logged in accounts?  Guess who doesn't check their emails.  Those accounts were likely compromised.  That is to say, a cheater bought the account on some 便宜购买帐户 site, used it to cheat, and got it banned. 

    There are a lot of cheaters.  People rarely, RARELY get their account banned "for no reason, I do nothing wrong, I not cheat" but EA can almost always point directly to what triggered the ban AND the review where it was confirmed.  I really love the people who bring up some program that CLEARLY would cause an issue with any modern anti-cheat (intercepts or modifies live data) and then say that they for sure weren't cheating, it was for sure this program that isn't actually for cheating, I promise, unban me.
