Reality check: EA doesn't care about Cheaters!
Hi fellow soldiers.
The ingame report function, which many players would need a tutorial for, is completely and utterly bad. Without being able to provide any information, but a player name, your report is nothing but a baseless accusation. And the only feedback you will ever get after sending a report, is a a short message when it has been rejected - no explanation of course.
This is the laziest way of detecting cheaters! Wait until X amount of players have made an accusation, then (maybe) look into it.
Alternatively we can use their webform https://help.ea.com/en/help-tools/report-a-player/ where one can actually leave detailed information about the cheater.
Too bad that it throws an ERROR 404 (File not found) once you submit it. So it's effectively broken, which, by the way, has already been reported on this forum like 2 month ago. Nobody cares.
So all we have is the ingame reporting system and as a matter of fact I have pretty solid evidence that it does not seem to produce bans when it clearly should:
Since names are something I am not allowed to post here, let's try something else:
Look up "237-3 BATTLEFIELD 6 KILL WORLD RECORD" on YouTube. The player who uploaded this and many other videos of the same kind is clearly aimbotting and making money off of it on YouTube. You can look up his ingame name on tracker.gg
At the time of writing this guy has amassed more than 170k kills with a k/d of 23 reaching battle rank 536, while his tracker page has 12k views! To everyone with a shred of experience in online FPS gaming it is clear as daylight that this guys is a cheater and he is not even trying to hide it.
Now you would expect that the amount of cheaters in the game would be considerably low and that those who cheat in bright daylight and even upload their obvious cheater gameplay to YouTube would stick out like a sore thumb and be removed from the game quickly.
Yet he apparently hasn't been reported enough times to be banned or EA simply does not care.
It's ridiculous. Which brings us back to the title of this post...
