Pandora’s box was opened to cheaters
You have a top tier anticheat that was just ruined by opening a free to play model utilizing the same anti cheat. Before BR dropped, I only encountered 1 super blatant cheater. I saw 1 in base game today using a trigger bot, and 2 in BR (which I really don’t love, but I’ll play for the battle pass rewards.) The problem with going free to play comes with HWID bans being comically easy to spoof, more computer science nerds are tempted to make a quick buck, and worst of all , those bypasses suddenly become public knowledge and affect the $70 dollar base game in the end. So how do we stop it? I’m not a Dev, but if this was my baby I would pay an intern to randomly change offsets on the daily, I’d go kernel level anti cheat, I’d still HWID ban for the low level cheaters, I’d release my own cheat that totally trolls the player before banning, like spam detected hacks everywhere paid and free, send out cease and stop letters like candy, and let a minimal invest from EA to sue the crap out of big cheat sites. Invest Pennies to EA to maximize profits in the long run. really love this game, I’m gonna play it till the next BF, but cheating? Enough is enough. Depending on the cheaters country, it might not just be civil, it could be criminal… ask your legal team to explain it. I have become emotionally invested in this game. I want it to go the distance and all the EA folks involved to get paid. p.S. $24.00 battle pass? Dang, illl keep buying it if you keep cheaters out. EA might have been bought out, but those buyers need paid, fix cheating, get Game of the year, and never forget you created a masterpiece that deserves all your love and attention.BF 4 Life, Six
